Maison Violet Pourpre d’Automne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Nathalie Lorson. Maison Violet's Pourpre d’Automne carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A deeply polarising violet, Pourpre d’Automne is either a masterclass in classic, powdery florals or a challenging, almost medicinal scent that some just can't get on board with. Discontinued now, but a cult classic for those who 'get' it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for day or evening, but the powdery, elegant floral character leans more towards dressier casual or date nights. It might be a bit too assertive for a quiet office, but it would certainly make a statement at a formal event.

About

Pourpre d’Automne unfurls with a rich, almost edible candied violet and iris, brightened by a delicate whisper of peach and plum. It quickly deepens into a velvety, powdery heart where rose mingles with the violet, evoking the scent of vintage cosmetics. The base settles into a sophisticated, slightly earthy musk and oakmoss, with benzoin adding a balsamic warmth that grounds the floral sweetness.
