Eau de Campagne (eau de toilette) Sisley Paris
Green
Eau de Campagne or nature, beautified
An avant-garde unisex eau de toilette, Eau de Campagne was born in 1976, the year of Sisley's founding. It has its roots in the d'Ornano's family estate in Berry. A unique haven of peace where nature-loving Hubert d'Ornano loved to recharge his batteries.
It is in the heart of these forests, meadows and vegetable gardens that the first notes of Eau de Campagne resounded. Those of the characteristic scent of tomato leaves that he crumpled under foot.
A sparkling flight where basil vibrates alongside wild herbs and lemon. An invigorating freshness, underlined by the green nuances of the tomato leaf, the fragrance's star ingredient. An original twist finished with a bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, jasmine and geranium, and rounded off with a touch of plum. A trail dressed in the timeless chic of a chypre base and in the softness of musks.
Key notes: Tomato leaf, Lily of the valley, Jasmine, Geranium, Plum

This little bug is cool but what is amazing is the elephant ear that it is on isn’t dying & turning tan after the freeze we had a few days ago:
The shadow of a rose bush. Neither exists without the other:
I’ve got bee butts & I cannot lie:
I’m still stoked we are seeing this many honeybees in Autumn... especially this late:
purple veins!
