I was curious about Jan Moran’s title (‘Countess of Lemnos’), as others have also queried this here in the past. I managed to find some information about her geneological background in Wikipedia (http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A4%CE%B6%CE%BF%CE%BD_%CE%91%CE%BD%CF%84%CF%89%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%AC%CE%B4%CE%B7%CF%82). It seems she’s the great-grand-daughter of Sir John Antoniades, who was born in Lemnos in 1818 and became a successful merchant and banker in Egypt. He was also a great benefactor of the Greek community in Egypt as well as in his beloved Lemnos. However, apart from this association, there is no indication of a ‘Count(ess) of Lemnos’ title given to the family and passing down to Mrs Moran. Nevertheless, her books are great for all the perfume lovers out there!

It’s highly unlikely that Ms. Moran will see your comment here…you might want to try contacting her through her website.

Mrs. Moran, could I ask you where can I locate a bottle of your Fabulous Parfum? My mother loved it, and we cannot find it anymore, so please help me, thank you, Mr. Lenny……

I must thank Mrs. Jan Moran for creating this book. She put my thoughts, my hopes, my loves into one book, and it is so true, I cannot get enough of these two fabulous fragrances books 1 & 2. I look forword to the new book, and Mrs. Moran perhaps you do and or don’t remember our conversation we had 4 years ago. I had spoken with you about me wanting to create my very own fragrance. Remember? It was a great talk and I found you to be such a lady, elegant, and refined, you helped me along so well, and you knew just how to answer my questions. You truly are a ” Class Act ” God bless you Mrs. Moran and I hope to one day talk again, your ” Fabulous Fragrant Fan ” Mr.Lenny……..

Hi Susan, and welcome! I hope you saw the last comment in this list which offers some advice about dupes for Deneuve. Other than that, you might try asking your question on the forum at Jan Moran's website, http://www.fabulousfragrances.com. Good luck!

I just joined this list because I have been looking for Deneuve for 10-12 years. It was never sold in Canada, but I bought it in Seattle back in the '80s. Whenever I wore it, I constantly had glowing compliments. It is a wonderful warm, deeply feminine fragrance, without being too floral. I have been trying to find a way to get it brought back, and am hoping that Jan Moran can offer advice. I have just never found anything else like it.

Regarding LongLostPerfumes and their dupes, I've tried Crepe De Chine side by side with my real parfum, and it's a dead ringer. Cannes is the best of the Deneuve dupes out there, but not right when you get the bottle. Let it sit for a few months. It gets closer to the real thing as it ages. I've heard that Anarchy is dead on for Chaos, too. They seem to do a good job in duping. I just wish they would offer those smaller bottles like they used to.

Thanks! Jan Moran is the Countess of Lemnos, but that is all I know.
