Lanvin Mon Péché (My Sin) Extrait 0.50 oz (15cc/ml) Splash Vintage 1930s 1940s

An exceptionally elegant survivor from the golden age of French perfumery, this factory-sealed Lanvin Mon Péché (“My Sin”) extrait captures the luxurious presentation style associated with prewar Paris couture fragrance houses. The richly patterned Lanvin wrapping paper, deep cobalt blue label, handwritten period pricing sticker, and untouched sealed format combine to create a highly displayable collector piece with strong Art Deco character.

Available today is this rare, likely late 1930s to early 1940s vintage, sealed and unopened, guaranteed authentic, Lanvin Paris Mon Péché (“My Sin”) extrait parfum in a 0.50 oz (15cc/ml) size (Reference Number: 69). The package retains its original decorative Lanvin wrapping paper along with an early handwritten $11 retail price sticker. Given the imported French extrait concentration and luxury presentation format, this pricing is not inconsistent with upscale department store or boutique perfume retail pricing from the late 1930s to 1940s period. Photos were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured.

This item can be ascribed as being from approximately the late 1930s to early 1940s based upon the Art Deco Lanvin wrapping paper design, French export labeling style, use of “c.c.” volume notation instead of modern milliliter formatting, absence of UPC or ingredient disclosures, and the classic Jeanne Lanvin mother-and-child motif repeated throughout the presentation paper. The “No. 69” reference designation and decorative typography are also highly consistent with Lanvin luxury presentations from this era.

Condition is excellent for its age. The original decorative wrapping remains tightly fitted around the box and the presentation appears unopened. There is light age-related wear at some edges and corners consistent with careful long-term storage over many decades. The original starburst-style handwritten price sticker remains attached to one side panel, adding additional vintage retail character and display appeal. Collector Notes

Early sealed Lanvin extrait presentations rarely survive with their original outer decorative paper still fully intact. This item is especially attractive because the repeating Lanvin mother-and-child motif remains crisp and highly visible throughout the wrapping. Pieces like this appeal not only to perfume collectors, but also to collectors of Art Deco packaging, French couture ephemera, and early luxury cosmetics advertising design. Why This Bottle Stands Out vs. Later Versions

Later Mon Péché and My Sin presentations gradually transitioned into more simplified postwar packaging formats with less ornate styling and more standardized retail presentation. This earlier version retains the highly decorative Lanvin paper wrapping, French export wording, Art Deco typography, and older “c.c.” sizing notation characteristic of luxury interwar French perfumery. The sealed untouched format further distinguishes it from the far more commonly encountered loose or partially preserved examples. Fragrance History

1924: Lanvin introduced Mon Péché (“My Sin”) during the height of the French couture perfume boom of the early twentieth century.

1920s–1930s: The fragrance became internationally recognized for its sensual, sophisticated floral-oriental character and luxurious extrait presentation.

1930s–1940s: Lanvin utilized richly decorative Art Deco packaging styles similar to this example, often featuring repeating Jeanne Lanvin mother-and-child motifs and elegant French export labeling.

1950s–1960s: Packaging evolved into more streamlined postwar formats as perfume marketing aesthetics modernized internationally.

Later Years: Mon Péché gradually became discontinued and increasingly collectible, especially in sealed early French extrait presentations retaining original packaging materials.

Originally launched in 1924, Mon Péché / My Sin is remembered as a refined vintage floral-oriental fragrance with rich florals, powdery aldehydic softness, warm resinous undertones, and the deep complexity associated with classic French parfum extraits of the interwar era.
