Parfait Amour is a liqueur. Purple in colour, it is often used in cocktails primarily for its colour, and is generally created from a Curaçao liqueur base.
Parfait Amour appears to have several forms. The House of Lucas Bols in the Netherlands claims to have originated the liqueur. Their version appears to be a curaçao base, flavoured with rose petals, vanilla and almonds. Marie Brizard, a Bordeaux based distiller, has a product with a similar flavor profile. Another form, produced by DeKuyper, uses a spirit as its base, and is flavoured with lemon, coriander and violets.[1]
Parfait Amour is primarily produced and sold in France and the Netherlands, although it is known to be available in the United States, Australia, Greece and Finland.
