Mon Peche / My Sin (1924)
by Long Lost Perfume

I have only a micro sample of the original. It's what I call a goddess scent. In many ways I find it similar to Narcisse Noir. There is a lady-like powder layer over dark, dangerous slightly disturbing florals (narcissus..iris?). It isn't pretty: It is devastatingly good. Very luxe and dramatic.

This is the most stunning perfume I have ever smelt .I got a vintage bottle this week. I am no nose but whatever is in it that makes it "My Sin" it's the first time I got lots of compliments about my perfume. Men didn't say anything ( well when you look like Mrs Kruschev they tend not to) but lots of lovely ladies were swooning. Someone please make it again and not the company in the US who seem to charge an arm and a leg for postage . Why aren't the current owners of Lanvin smart enough or can't they recreate it well without certain fixatives . I shall scour the World for more ,alas I am financially embarrased due to high perfume consumption but soon...I shall be a Sinner big time.

I bought an old bottle of Lanvin's My Sin parfum on ebay. The top notes have disintegrated, but there's still a lot of beauty there. I haven't tried Long Lost Perfumes' version. My maternal grandmother wore My Sin, so I bought mine in memory of her.

Anway you go around it - the extrait of this is absolutely stunning. I will cherish my bottle of this lovely time capsule forever.

Remarkably distinctive and unforgettable. I would love to try this again, and am willing to but the recreation just to see if it is like the lovely scent I remember.

I bought 2 bottles of extrait on Ebay. I love this, but I wish I could get it in Vintage "Fresh". The reason is....when I first put this on, a fragrance note jumps out at me, like Tuberose or maybe its the Jasmine or Muguet, but it doesnt last long. Then it turns to a dull kinda spicey scent. I am wondering if I could have smelled it in 1924 would I have that first note a little longer. You know, with buying the vintage, it has fermented along time. But, anyway, I love it and Arpege. Now Arpege does stay floral alot longer than My Sin. But that strange floral note in My Sin isn't in Arpege. In fact, it almost reminds me of Fracas, then its gone, and changes.
