Parfait Amour and Nocturnelle is my default "most purpley" look to date, but I've just ordered in violet pigment so that may change shortly, lol!
I'd recommend Seedy Pearl - which is a pale pinky-hued pseudo purple with beautiful pearlescence and which makes a GREAT (though fairly noticable) highlight colour with the two purples you've just mentioned. It also doubles up as a pretty lid colour, a "lilacy" combo I do sometimes is s.p. on the lid and parfait amour in the crease, with something plummy like Nocturnelle or Beauty Marked as a liner.
The other colour which will work a dream with your parfait amour and nocturnelle would be Stars and Rockets. P.A is a purple with hot pinky shimmer, and Stars and Rockets is the direct opposite - hot pink with purply/bluish shimmer - and the two work really well together. Stars and Rockets is a completely stunning shadow in its own right, too, and one of the punkier/brigher shades that MAC do.
MAC have lots of other purples - Beauty Marked & Satellite Dreams in addition to the ones already mentioned are particularly beautiful - but if I've recommended Seedy Pearl and Stars 'n Rockets as I think those two work really well with what you've already got and this gives you quite a good wide "range" of purples - that means you've got a dark plum (Nocturnelle), a shimmery lavendar (seedy Pearl), a bright metallic mid purple (Parfait Amour) and a shocking pinky purple (Stars 'n Rockets).
You might also want to look at Idol Eyes, which is a weird and unique little MAC colour - most people (I think including MAC themselves) describe it as a purple, but its got such strong metallic silvery undertones that it's ALMOST silver, really. It's VERY VERY GLITTERY indeed. It works great with other purples.

Parfait Amour was one of the first e/s I ever bought from MAC, and the colours that the MA in the store recommended me to go with it were Seedy Pearl and Beautiful Iris - I don't have beautiful iris, but that's another one to potentially have a look at....
Hope this helps! x
