"A perfume of enchantment - of enthrallment...My Sin holds enticing charm for the delights which are to come. Smart women are always fond of My Sin's complimentary chic..."
The house of Lanvin was among the first to present a perfume as part of a collection. Lanvin created My Sin~ one of the three famous gossips, My Sin, Rumeur and Scandal . My Sin was created in 1924 and first sold and trademarked in Paris under the name Mon Peche by Lanvin.
In 1926, Jeanne Lanvin recalled that My Sin was created by a collaboration between Firmenich and Madame Zed , a "nose", an employee of Gabilla Perfumerie. Gabilla had introduced their perfume My Sin in 1920.
My Sin was classified as a floral-bouquet parfum. Fragrance composition: aldehydic accord, carnation, bergamot, heliotrope, jasmine, violet, rose, lily of the valley, lilac, iris, jonquil, ylang ylang, musk, vetiver, civet and sandalwood.
Lanvin's My Sin/Mon Peche parfum extrait was sold in a round black glass bottle called La Boule, designed in 1923 by Armand Rateau and made in France by Cristal Romesnil. The bottle had two different gilded stoppers, one raspberry shaped, and the other was a round, ribbed ball.
The logo on the front of the bottle was designed by Paul Iribe and depicts a stylized portrait of Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter getting dressed for a masked ball.
The black La Boule bottles were to become the standard flacon for all of Lanvin's parfum extraits. The labels are simply small strips of paper found on the base of the bottle whch would note what perfume was inside.
