Eau de Campagne

Too strong, too masculine for me. Reminds me of my grandfather. Still, my coworkers found it quite pleasant, I just might have a problem with certain vetivers

I feel like I’m the only one who, while liking this fragrance, doesn’t feel it’s crisp or zingy or bright green. It’s definitely the countryside, but it has a musty, dark-green, generalized verdant quality.

همیشه عطرهای سبز و تُرش رو دوست داشتم مخصوصا اگر حس سنتتیک بهم ندن خیلی از عطرهای سبز و ترش با نُت هایی مثل سیب سبز،برام حالت سنتتیک دارن و درحالی که فضای کلی عطر رو دوست دارم اون حالت مصنوعی روی مخ میره و نمیذاره از عطر لذت ببرم اینجا با یک عطر سبز و ترش و خنک و حال خوب کن طرف هستیم که خبری از شیرینی نیست همه‌ی اجزای عطر سبز و تازه هستند.از بوته گوجه با اون بوی ترش و گَس گرفته تا گالبانوم که در شروع بسیار آشناپنداری می‌کنه و بوی ریواس مانند ای هم در شروع ازش می‌گرفتم که ترش و خاکی و آبدار بود ترشی ای که مرکبات در کنار نت های سبز دارند مکمل فضای سبز و ترش عطر هستند و وتیور هم بعد از مدت ای سر و کله اش پیدا میشه و با بویی چوبی و خاکی فعالیت می‌کنه اصلا حالت سنتتیک نداره و روند عطر هم گرچه کوتاه و ضعیفه اما از ابتدا تا انتها در فضا ای سبز و ترش و آروماتیک حرکت می‌کنه و از مسیر خارج نمیشه ************** scent:9/10 longevity:6.5/10 sillage:6/10 purchase value:3.5/10 ******** overall:6.3/10

In the recently uncovered archives of letters from Count de Végétal to Countess de la Verdure, astonished historians came across the following passage: “My dear Countess, for all the virtues of Eau de Campagne by Sisley, one cannot but acknowledge its shameless ephemerality! It truly pains me that the honorable gentlemen d’Ornano of the Sisley perfume house have not entertained the somewhat audacious idea of creating an Eau de Campagne pur parfum concentré intense!” In her reply, the Countess most graciously shared her little secret, which consisted of taking baths in the fragrance itself in order to extend its longevity. The Count’s subsequent letters, however, historians were unable to decipher as the letters appeared to have become thoroughly soaked.

Tomato leaf and bright citrus that has a soapy vibe.

Tomato leaf note is dominant. It’s green, herbacious, savory and bitter. Perfect for extreme heat. Vintage but contemporary. It’s very expensive and I wouldn’t say it’s a must. But if you love tomato leaf I don’t think you can find a better perfume.

Lighter than what it was. But still unique! I first used Eau de Campagne in the early 00’s. Bought one summer, used and loved it but never went back. Years, niche and vintage perfumes later, I bought a new bottle. Yes, it’s lighter and more fleeting but it still maintains that bracing bitterness that made me love it. Galbanum galore, ripe tomato vines, and a soft shade of jasmine/lotv to make it more amicable. It doesn’t need it, but it is a welcome touch. I find it unique in that the vine is very realistic, giving way to the galbanum later on. It’s bracing, and just like the 70’s when it was born, it brings to mind many others (Aliage/Alliage, Private Collection, Infini, many Diors…) that defined the concept of endless days, summer sun and outdoor fun. Carefree. Light spirited. Happy. Like a cherished memory of times gone by… While lighter, although heavy spritzing helps, I highly recommend it, to lovers of green fragrances and as a general masterclass on what makes a perfume last for decades. Top notch Sisley! Side note: while Eau de Campagne has remained very faithful to the original, Eau du Soir has changed a lot. While it still smells fabulous, it’s been completely changed to something that smells more like Aromatics. Soir de Lune will be my next test to see how it has survived. Sad to see the change even though it is still among the best (current) chypres.

This fragrance feels like it was made with me in mind... I just love the tomato leaves and the slight green florals that compliment it so well. This is quickly becoming my go-to spring scent.

I’m not sure this is my kind of fragrance right now, and at first spritz, I did feel it was a bit dated and herbaceous for my personal taste. I can tell my nose is no longer accustomed to an oak moss note of so many good perfumes of the past! It’s just not what most of us are used to smelling anymore. But this does warm up to be a beautiful scent! I’m sure it’s nostalgic for some! It’s definitely mossy and would be beautiful for fall! It’s the perfect season for it in my opinion! I like it! I’m not sure I would wear it except for a casual outing and I’d spray it very lightly, max two sprays, but I do enjoy it.

6/10 très fougère, il sent l'herbe de champ, très vert et terreux.

What a delightful shaving cream! Very crisp and sterile. It’s not for me, even though the notes sounded perfect; I had to scrub it off. It’s very masculine in that Listerine, shaving cream, MYNTZ kind of way — but it ain't even minty.

Ok, this is one of my first passions in the perfume world. That said, Eau de Campagne survived the times. There's not even a hint of hype in here. Ageless, as the nature is. Rare, but still available. I heard that there's a shower oil now on the market and it makes me happy to see the evolution of a formula made with passion and heritage. The Blood Mary of the fragrances. The Amazon forest in a spray. A niche before there was niche. The hard work of a master perfumista: Jean-Claude Ellena.

The ultimate full bodied, photorealistic tomato vine perfume. It smells as if you're in Italy in the middle of hundreds of tomato vines. Absolutely stunning!

Thank goodness this is not a floral forward scent, and I wouldn’t call it old fashioned either. It is quite nice actually, rather green and refreshing. Like a bouquet of nettles hahah! Not my scent profile, but I’m enjoying my occasional wear on a scorching hot day with travel size 🌿

I REALLY wanted to like this based on the notes, votes, and scent profile. But alas, this is a great example of why one should not blind-buy. I was SURE I would love this scent, but upon trying a sample I ordered online from a reputable seller, my first impression was not great! Maybe I set myself up to fail with expectations. To me, the initial smell is very old-fashioned, like a clean old man's cologne. After a few hours on my skin, it smells like soap - still a clean, mildly fresh scent. I like the shower gel and the lotion better - but the shower gel dries out my skin, and the lotion's fragrance is too heavy for me for a body lotion. I won't be repurchasing.

Eau de Campagne Sisley - one of Sisley's fragrant charms. Layering is best - soap, lotion, cream, fragrance.

Green Fresh Old fashioned Outdated I felt it was I The wrong time Not sure who still wears this but I felt like it was way too old to wear Performance was ok I didn’t like it but had to try it before it gets discontinued

H24 with tomato leaves , love it before spraying it

So crisp! So fresh! So un-apologetically green! I'm a huge fan of tomato leaf notes recently so this is an absolutely wonderful smell to me. It's like someone took an almost-ripe ripe tomato plant, snipped off the biggest leaves, and put them right in my face. I get basil, some light florals and oakmoss growing in the garden as well. Very unisex all around. Worst part is how quickly it fades! Maybe a splasher would be better (and it does last significantly longer on clothing) but for the price I'm just not sure it's worth it unless you /really/ like the scent. I still would love to get a full-sized bottle one day so I'm not so scared of using it all up!

Si a todos nos gustara lo mismo la vida sería la mar de aburrida. Pero de verdad que soy incapaz de encontrarle el encanto. Huele a pasto podrido. Cuando trabajaba en una perfumería mis compañeras y yo nos amenazábamos unas a las otras con pulverizarnos esto en el pelo. Mira que yo tengo un especial gusto por las fragancias más "vintage" o "de señora vieja", pero Eau de Campagne es quizás demasiado sofisticado para mí. Tengo que añadir que las clientas que venían a comprarla cumplían todas con el mismo perfil. Eran mujeres mayores y elegantes, con un trato muy agradable. Extremadamente fieles a la fragancia. Varias nos contaban cómo se la vendieron por primera vez cuando eran jóvenes viajando en Francia. De verdad que eran unas clientas encantadoras.

It smells like it was made in 1976. Which it was. I don’t like it, not for me. It was a scrubber for sure.

Amazing fragrance would be the best summer fragrance if it lasted longer than 10 minutes.

Smells like my childhood home and 70/80s men colognes. Love it.

This is not just a fragrance, this is a smell of freedom, oxygen and happy life in unspoiled nature. It is deeply therapeutic, just as Hermès Eau d'Orange Verte. It`s like Chanel Cristalle without the melancholy. It is quiet but remarkable. Would recommend to people prone to depression or for those with stressful lifestyles. Love it to bits.

one thing that got me into perfume was when I read a review on a purposefully bad smelling perfume that said "perfumes should be seen as art, and not everyone is going to love all art, some art you may even hate" and I think that definitely describes fragrances like Eau de Campagne. this is herbal in the first second of spraying, like almost medicinal herbal, it's citrus and herbs mixed and to me this is not my favorite. there's something to it that is a bit fizzy and acidic, it's also very green. if I try to pinpoint what herbs and spices I'm smelling id say a mix of clove, its like a bit stem-y and green like lemongrass, and the tomato leaf mixed with dirt like the dirt found in the roots. it's not my favorite because I can't imagine wanting to smell like I was just gardening and accidentally fell on the dirt that house my tomato leaf and lemongrass and brushing myself off thinking "I smell good" no, it's just not for me 2/10

Reviewing a bottle from around 2015 (code 75008). Eau de Campagne was launced in 1976. Opens with a burst of potent citrus - mostly lemon with its' inherent bitterness and galbanum. This may be challenging for some people.Tomato leaf and basil are subtle slowly peeking through as the citrus wanes. Faint florals come in next followed by aromatic woods in the dry down. The citrus notes hang on to the early drydown. This is still a true Chypre with no cloying sweetness or overpowering vanillas as found in many of todays citrus offerings. Quality is good but was excellent if you can find vintage pre 2009. 4/5 Unisex. Performance is weak-moderate as expected for citrus fragrances. 3/5 Although I purchased this around 2015, I had been sampling Eau de Campagne since the late 80's. The herbal notes, tomato leaf and bitterness were more prominent and of course there was plenty of oakmoss. As a result, it was more complex, interesting and long lasting. I regret not purchasing this sooner ( the same goes for my beloved 80's Diorella ) but how many of us knew about the coming reformulations in those days. Overall it is still one of the freshest greenest fragrances without being boring. Longevity and complexity used to be better. It is, and has always been unisex and modern - way ahead of its' time. 7.5/10 - current 9/10 pre 2009

This has been my favourite aromatic for years. A misty, crisp, earthy dawn in a herb garden. Someone below said it sits between Jardin Sur le Nil and Guerlain Vétiver, and I agree, and add that it also carries a reference to the multi-facetted depth of Eau du Soir (but not its monstrous projection or sillage, thank goodness). I don't think it smells anything like MMM From the Garden (which I can't stand for its shrill tomato note). Eau de Campagne has an airy, dark green complexity which I find both energising and comforting.

This is aeriously beautiful, unique, and gorgeous. It like the french countryside. It smells great on me and my husband- I really love this on him though. It smells like he’s spent all day cooking and playing polo or something. I am obsessed! Smells like a luxury vacation. Green, herbal, aromatic scents remind me of my husband’s cooking and gardening. They are so romantic to me- they are the scent of love. This one is particularly evocative. The notes sound like total chaos- but it works. This perfume is sparkling, sunny, outdoorsy, unisex. Utterly artistic!! Izia is my true love, but I crave this scent. Will be a future purchase

No doubt this is an incredible endeavour, a feat of perfumery. It's a warm Autumn Sunday, I've been for a run and am lounging in the sunlight watching TV wearing EdC. I keep sniffing myself, it's compelling, but I also feel like I've scattered salad all over my prostrate body. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber and maybe some herby olive oil. I don't think I'd ever wear this

Despite it's beautifully nuanced composition, the overall impression here is of stripped-down, earthen simplicity. Like making a midsummer retreat to the back garden, carrying your sweating gin & tonic and a faded paperback, in order to sit in the shade of the garden wall, amongst the vines. It's extremely green and fresh, with the crisp, woody zest of bergamot and oakmoss. It has the clean, fresh spiciness of a men's bar soap, but with more lively, green nuances—like the prickly earthiness of tomato leaf, and the almost balsamic spice of basil. I find it quite similar to MMM From The Garden, but slightly more masculine-leaning, with a bit more sharp, woody zestiness to it, where From The Garden is somewhat sweeter, with more of a floral-fruity component. With that said, they're both pretty solidly unisex, IMO.
