It is a double form called carnation or more formally called the Laciniatum Group by the RHS. It would appear that the flower has dark purple basal patches. So an unambiguous description would be - purple carnation with dark purple basal patches. To keep it simple I would call it Purple Carnation.

The other double form is peony or as the RHS says - Paeoniiflorum Group. This also has dak purple basal patches. It is usually called Purple Peony.
