ABOUT

Hyacinth is a cool, watery green-floral note that blends dewy petal sweetness with a crisp, stemmy bite and faint peppery-waxy nuances, evoking fresh spring gardens, damp earth, and rain-soaked blossoms. In perfumery it is typically recreated as an accord rather than extracted, and used in the heart to add crystalline freshness and verdant lift, bridging muguet- and narcissus-like facets in green florals, aldehydic bouquets, and chypres while cutting through excess sweetness.
