Scent

Do you want to smell like vegetables? - Not a bean!

One day in a perfumery I trust - once again looking for a classic, rather discreet fragrance. "Try this one!" - A spray on my wrist - FLASHBACK!
I'm 35 years younger. Visiting the family of my friend Fabrice in France. We're heading for the Atlantic, passing his grandmother on the way. And that grandmother is a picture book grandmother. Old, a bit wrinkled, small, incredibly happy, you just have to love her. She lives in a small house with a garden, and in this garden is a greenhouse. The task for Fabrice and me: collecting beans for dinner. So we plunge into this paradise of self-grown delicacies.
And into this universe the scent beams me. I actually smell fresh green beans! Some readers will now think I'm crazy if I give such a high rating to a bean-scented scent, probably with good reason. But the scent continues to evolve. It becomes more complex and much rounder and develops a special class. It retains a unique freshness.
Eau de Campagne - the name says it all, and the fragrance masterfully delivers what the name promises.
For me, a fresh (and yet classic!) summer scent, but completely different from the popular Nerolis or Aquatics, which are usually credited with summer freshness. Unique. Meanwhile one of my favourites.
Testing!
