What it smells like

Hyacinth releases a dense, intensely floral scent with distinctive green and earthy undertones. Derived from the Hyacinthus orientalis flower, this note combines the richness of lily with the fresh greenness of newly cut stems, creating a complex fragrance that is both sweet and vegetal.

How it's used in perfumery

A classic floral note used in bouquets to add richness and green facets. Hyacinth blends well with lily of the valley, narcissus, and rose, and its earthy undertones make it particularly valuable in creating natural green floral compositions and chypre accords.

Fun fact

The hyacinth was cultivated in ancient Egypt and was later a favorite flower of both Ottoman sultans and European royalty.
