Reviews of Eau de Campagne (1974)
by Sisley

This is a 5 stars fragrance, if you like green you must try EdC, your nose will be full of fresh grass juice and tomato leaves, a refreshing scent from a company with a philosophical view: "fragrantia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem". EdC is already 38 years old and it's here to stay, a classic unisex .

This one took me a few attempts to appreciate but now I do. This is a straightforward herbal scent that smells as green as freshly cut grass in a meadow. When summer next comes around, I plan to re-visit it again to see if I’ll enjoy it enough to invest in a bottle.

So far, the only herbal scent that I truly admire.

“A brisk, spirited green fragrance... dynamic, original.”
Well, this green scent lover is a happy camper today. Eau de Campagne is a wonderful, distinctive scent. It has a very zesty, invigorating opening. The herbal notes are very well done; and the tomato leaves are a stroke of genius and are also very accurately rendered. This is a stroll in my vegetable and herb garden. The florals soften the greenery but are not a distinct element. The drydown has an emphasis on vetiver and musk. This is an excellent tonic pick-me-up. Highly recommended for green fans!

I like FOETIDUS' review! For myself, I enjoyed quite a brisk citrus note in the opening of Eau de Campagne, which seems to be the perfect accent to this foliage filled frag! I adore the mossy drydown. This eau de toilette is truly unisex as well.

The most thoroughly satisfying "green" scent I know of. If natural organic had a scent this is it. The tone is totally pastoral and of growing green plants. No figs, no citrus nor vetiver or creamy plant milk that you encounter in other "green" fragrances - but just greens here. Tomato leaves and cut grass scent the opening while the drydown becomes more dried grasses and hay. When I think of green in fragrances this is the one that comes to mind. A refreshing encounter with the green earth.

One of the best blind buys to date. Far exceeded my expectation. I REALLY like this. Lime is not listed in its notes... but the opening smells like walking through a lime grove to an open breezy meadow teeming with grass and cruciferous vegetation still wet from the morning's dew. From start to amazing dry-down, this is one beautiful scent! The shower gel smells fantastic!! For a green scent, this lasts a great while on me with above average projection and sillage. This really puts me in a happy and energetic mood. I know of no other scent that does that for me. I'm glad I purchased the 4.1oz bottle. I think I'm going to be wearing this a lot this summer.
Highly recommended!

Wow, here it is—the whole meadow, the whole herb garden, and the whole salad all wrapped up in one package. Eau de Campagne is awesomely green—and so refreshing. It starts vegetal and stays vegetal for hours. Is it linear? No, not really. The green of the fragrance changes considerably as it progresses. It starts with the ‘high’ sharp verdant timbre of the tomato leaf and of just-cut-grass with just a touch of fresh celery for a slight aromatic effect. As the time wears on, the scent lowers the olfactory vibrations to spring grasslands, maple leaves, and mossy copses. The dry down is subtly grassy and mossy.
Green fragrances are usually not my thing, but I find this one very compelling.

Incredible grassy meadow scent - blades of grass on a hot summer day with layers of salad greens and tomato leaf. Excellent lasting power, and not overlyharsh as some green scents tend to be.

Oddly this one doesn't have any reviews yet, sells a lot worldwide to my knowledge. EdC is a very mossy green unisex scent with a super distinct tomato leaf note in the top. Perhaps leaning slightly to the feminine side, EdC is still herbal and dry enough for any guy to pull off. It lasts forever which is good considering the hefty price tag. Reportedly a favourite of the Swedish Queen Silvia.
Must say it definitely smells more modern than something launched in the early 70's. A classic from a original and somewhat excentric french company.
