Available for immediate purchase is this
profoundly rare, fabulous 1930s vintage, with presentation box (light evaporation
– see photos), guaranteed original and authentic, made in France, My Sin (Mon
Peche) Extrait de Lanvin splash in a huge 8-ounce (7.93664oz; 225g; 240ml) Env
P. Flacon by the original Jeanne Lanvin. All photos were taken at 40x
magnification in natural light to best highlight overall condition. The
buyer will receive the exact item pictured.
This bottle features a Bakelite stopper and the much earlier navy blue-framed, silver
paper foil label (the later ones are gold with black framing) which does have some
wear and blemishes; however, it is intact and readable. The beige paper label on the
bottom back of the bottle also is intact and legible. The base of the bottle is
embossed “Lanvin” and contains one extremely tiny air bubble which is quite
common in these earlier bottles.
Please note that some sellers mistakenly list reformulations as the original
when they clearly are not. Be cognizant of the formulation actually being
purchased as there are many.

do not qualify for a full refund. In the extremely rare instance where the
seller has reason to believe the original contents were either altered or
removed/replaced by the buyer then no refund will be provided. Buyers who abuse
the return policy or falsify item condition will be blocked from future
