The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1924, Jeanne Lanvin My Sin by Lanvin is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that captures the essence of its time — the Roaring Twenties, when elegance and daring were intertwined. Created by Madame Zed, this composition opens with aldehydes and fresh citrus notes like bergamot and Amalfi lemon, giving way to a heart of white florals including jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose. The base is a rich blend of musk, civetta, woods, and vanilla, creating an opulent and alluring trail.
This fragrance blooms slowly, so give it time to develop on your skin. One or two sprays will suffice; the aldehydic top notes are bright but fade quickly, revealing the deeper powdery and woody layers that carry through the day.
