The year 1924 gave us My Sin / Mon Péché Lanvin. A feminine fragrance from the wood and aldehyde families. Perfumer Marie Zède is the author behind this composition. Released in perfume extract.
Country of origin — France. My Sin / Mon Péché Lanvin unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of My Sin / Mon Péché is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Lanvin is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Fairy, Citrus, Aromatic and Floral. The framework further includes Spicy, Whiteflower, Animals and Balsamic. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Aldehyde and Wood.
Right at the start you detect invigorating sunny opening notes: Aldehydes, Bergamot, Clary Sage and Lemon.
In the heart you detect Clove, Iris, Jasmine, Lilac, Lily of the Valley and Narcissus carrying a creamy tuberose direction.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Aromatic and Citrus forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Floral, Musc, Wood and Powdery expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Taken together My Sin / Mon Péché holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.
