Like Myosotis, I also find this Pourpre d’Autumne poetic, this autumnal purple, just like my beloved Nuée Bleue from the same house. Both share a clean base of benzoin and musk and an iris heart, and while Nuée Bleue is dominated by iris, here the stars are the violets—realistic and creamy thanks to the opening accompanied by peach and plum. Also, in Pourpre d’Autumne there’s a note I love when well-blended for cold days, and I believe it’s part of this fragrance’s poetry: the moss, so melancholic, so dark-woodsy, so perfect for these dates. I like that a fragrance with these characteristics has moderate projection, but I wish it lasted a bit longer on the skin; that’s the only flaw I find in this beauty.
Myosotis
One of the most realistic violets I’ve ever tried. It’s deep, wet, and pairs beautifully with the iris for an autumnal, nostalgic vibe. It’s a reinterpretation by Nathalie Lorson of a 1923 perfume from the same house, ideal for violet lovers. I find it poetic and so nostalgic that it changes my mood. Although it’s classic, it doesn’t smell excessively retro; instead, it has a charming vintage air. It maintains its depth and transparency over time, though the projection isn’t very wide. This house has been one of my biggest discoveries this year; none of their perfumes have left me indifferent—they have immense evocative power, romance, and undeniable quality.

The most realistic violets I’ve tried. Deep, wet, and well-blended with the iris for an autumnal, nostalgic touch. It’s a reinterpretation by Nathalie Lorson of a 1923 perfume from the same house. For true violet lovers. I find it poetic, deeply nostalgic, and capable of changing my mood. Although it’s classic, it doesn’t feel overly retro; instead, it has a charming vintage vibe. It keeps its depth and transparency as the hours pass, though the projection isn’t very wide. This house has been one of my greatest discoveries this year; none of their perfumes have left me indifferent—they have immense evocative power, romance, and undeniable quality.

I agree with Myosotis… Seeking an alternative to classic florals and due to my preference for powdery aromas, this sample ended up in my hands and is now a bottle. On my skin, the violet and iris stand out, reminding me a lot of classic perfumes. The violet isn’t sharp but creamy. The longevity seems correct, without excess, but the projection is reduced. I think it’s more of a personal scent than one to attract attention; however, the wonderful scent waves I get with movement confirm why I bought it. The presentation, the quality of the bottle, and the fragrance itself seem very good.

Totally agree with Myosotis… Looking for something different from typical florals and with my love for powdery scents, I stumbled upon a sample that’s now a bottle. On my skin, the violet and iris shine, reminiscent of classics, with that creamy, non-pungent violet. The longevity is just right, not exaggerated, and the sillage is contained. I see it more as a personal scent than something to turn heads, though the beautiful scent trails it leaves when I move justify the purchase entirely. The presentation and the quality of the bottle and liquid are top-notch.

I absolutely love this Pourpre d’Autumne; it’s as poetic as its sister Myosotis and my favorite Nuée Bleue. They share that clean base of benzoin and musk with an iris heart, but here the violets take center stage—realistic and creamy thanks to the peach and plum opening. Plus, I’m fascinated by the moss on cold days; it’s melancholic, dark-woodsy, and adds so much poetry. It has moderate projection that I like, but I wish it lasted a bit longer on the skin, which is its only flaw.
