Pourpre d Automne - extrait de parfum

Inspired by the vintage from 1924, Pourpre d’Automne is a soft, creamy lipstick scent, feminine (not ‘girly’) and very comfortable. Rose, iris and violet, a classic and wonderful combination that results in the powdery scent reminiscent of lipstick or rice powder.
Pourpre d’Automne is described as a ‘melancholic’ perfume and was Violet’s most iconic fragrance.

“A moment of poetry, an immortal beauty with vintage accents, adopting the sensual curves of a Greek statue, Pourpre d’Automne wraps in its warmth and declares to the world its love for elegance according to Violet. A plum drawn in chalk on a school board”.

The story of Violet begins at the prestigious perfume school Ecole Supérieure du Parfum in Paris. Having just finished their perfumery training, three friends dreamed of becoming entrepeneurs and to start their own brand. It was during the course of research, by luck, that Anthony Toulemonde, Paul Richardot, and Victorien Sirot came across Maison Violet: a century-old perfume brand, founded by mister Violet in 1827..

Immediately intrigued and then deeply seduced by its history and its many secrets, bringing Maison Violet back to life was the obvious step for them. Together with top perfumer Natalie Lorson, they reformulated the historical fragrances, inspired by the brand's classics.  In doing so, they intertwined the rich heritage of this brand with the present, offering these elegant and modern creations.
