Ellena's Excellent Take On The Countryside...

Eau de Campagne opens with a gorgeous tomato leaf note supported by other herbal green notes evoking a fresh day out in the Spring countryside surrounded by vegetation. It is super fresh, and really pleasant smelling. The scent then turns slightly soapy clean, mixing with the now subdued tomato leaf creating the heart notes. The scent is relatively short lived (as you might expect from an Eau de Cologne), with minimal projection.

Eau de Campagne has got to be Jean-Claude Ellena's best work outside his masterpiece, Terre d'Hermès. Here, he shows his early skill in perfectly presenting the smell of a countryside meadow and it's associated gardens. It is a minimalist but impressive composition that rightly went a long way in putting him in the top tier of noses when it was first released. I wish the longevity was greater, the bottle more interesting and the price lower, but Eau de Campagne is a superb classic EdC that merits everyone give it a sniff, and certainly it is full bottle worthy. 4 to 4.5 stars out of 5.

Classical Potion

A countryside that’s green with poise, like Vacances before it.
Eau de Campagne is infused with bright citrus sunshine, wild flowers and late summer hay, and it also has a more abstract side with anisic and fizzy notes that anticipate Azzaro pour Homme.
With this, his debut work, Jean-Claude Ellena issued from nowhere. Already a mature artist, he sprung – as it were - fully formed, like Dionysus from the thigh of Zeus.

Not interesting enough

Sampled this because I loved sniffing the bottle (very green, sophisticated, and true to nature) but, once sprayed on the skin, I don't find it very alluring.
Don't get me wrong, it's a decent scent with a touch of class, but there are better freshies out there for less money.
It doesn't lasts long, it doesn't project at all and the drydown is a bit too flat for what I would expect from Sisley.
When it comes to these 'cologne' kind of scents, I much more prefer Eau de Rochas over this.
In Eau de Campagne, I miss that 'perfume-y vibe' that I do get from Eau de Rochas and the latter lasts longer and has better sillage. Maybe I miss that 'perfume-y ' vibe because I'm a woman and this may be just too masculine for me.

Green, Green, Green!

This is another Jean-Claude Ellena creation I love. It's classed as a floral chypre, but it is a very green one. It opens with citrus and galbanum, very sharp and right on the verge of bitter especially as the tomato leaf appears. It turns a bit sweeter in the heart with jasmine and lily of the valley, basil keeps it green. The patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss give an elegant base. It's a grassy herbal fragrance, and you get the entire country meadow - grass, weeds, herbal vegetation and a whisper of wildflowers. I do wish it had better longevity, it lasts about 2 hours on me, however when I use the shower gel and body lotion with it I get 4 to 5.

Green & Great for Layering

So crisp! So fresh! So un-apologetically green!

I'm a huge fan of tomato leaf notes and this is 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!
