Hyacinth
Hyacinth is a vibrant and refreshing floral note in perfumery, known for its crisp green brightness and soft, watery sweetness. Derived from the spring-blooming Hyacinthus orientalis flower, its scent captures the spirit of new beginnings — fresh, natural, and full of life.
Its aroma is cool and slightly sweet, combining floral, leafy, and earthy nuances with a hint of moisture — reminiscent of gardens after rain. Used primarily as a heart note, Hyacinth adds brightness and lift to floral and green compositions, giving them a realistic, garden-like freshness.
Perfumers often blend Hyacinth with lily of the valley, jasmine, and rose for lush floral bouquets, or with galbanum and vetiver to emphasise its green, dewy character. When paired with citrus or white musk, it brings lightness and clarity, creating a fragrance that feels clean, modern, and effortlessly elegant.
Emotionally, Hyacinth evokes renewal, serenity, and joy. Its scent feels like the arrival of spring — crisp air, soft petals, and the promise of warmth ahead.
In modern perfumery, Hyacinth represents natural purity and freshness. Its luminous, green-floral charm adds energy and sophistication to a composition, capturing the beauty of nature’s awakening in a single, delicate note.
