L'Amour Pourpre smells somehow different to me than the fragrance notes suggest. Except for the lavender, which comes across beautifully powdery and rather clean in this perfume. A floral scent that dries down slightly resinous. Interesting thing!! So sometimes you shouldn't always rely solely on the fragrance notes. It can turn out differently than you think. But L'Amour Pourpre is truly a beautiful scent!!!
