Eau de Campagne

Sisley classifies Eau de Campagne among the chypres, at the crossroads of citrus and grassy accords; Osmoz places it among the green florals. Basil, wild herbs and lemon open the fragrance, tomato leaf is its star, and a chypre, musky base anchors it.

Basil and citrus

Osmoz places basil, bergamot, lemon and galbanum in the top. Gaia, on The Non-Blonde, describes a sharp, green, bitter opening, where galbanum brightens into lemon and herbs.

Tomato leaf

Tomato leaf fills the heart with lily of the valley, jasmine, geranium and a touch of plum. The house makes it the fragrance’s star ingredient; Victoria, on Bois de Jasmin, points out that this scent is reconstructed with synthetic materials.

The chypre base

The base brings together oakmoss, vetiver, patchouli and white musks in an earthy chypre accord. Gaia finds a mossy base in it, but regrets that the whole fades after an hour and a half.

What the label declares

The label opens with denatured alcohol, water and fragrance. Three UV filters, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, protect the juice from light.

The list also names limonene, benzyl salicylate, hexyl cinnamal, linalool, citral, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, coumarin and benzyl alcohol.
