By the editors · 2 min readJeanne Lanvin My Sin (1924) is one of the early animalic florals — pear, neroli, apricot, bergamot, and clary sage open with a green-fruity brightness that reads decidedly pre-war. Within minutes the topnotes give way to a dense white-floral chord.
Jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, narcissus, rose, freesia, and a thread of clove fill the heart — a full-throated bouquet underwritten by the era's preference for indolic depth. Sandalwood, styrax, and musk anchor the drydown with a balsamic, slightly leathery warmth.
This is a vintage chypre-floral in temperament, aimed at the formal and evening end of the wardrobe. It rewards patience.
