It seems that you have better memory at this time than me. You're absolutely right, l'imnpact de Caron is pure parfum too. It's similar to Terre d'Hermes pure parfum in style, adding complexity, but keeping the overall balance of the fragrance. I also reminded that, while it had a stronger longevity on skin, like terre d'hermes it had a moderate sillage.
From the pure parfums that i have tried until today, the only too that stood out in both terms of sillage and longevity were Le Baiser du Dragon and Kingdom. But then, they are already very strong at edp versions.

Pure parfum often has less sillage than EDP and EDT... at least in my experience... longevity is often better and it can be a more pure interpretation by the parfumeur of the concept of the fragrance in question. The materials used are often higher calibre too, but not always. I think people often misunderstand and believe that extrait will be more powerful than other concentrations, but that is not always the case.
