Blue Hyacinth

Blue hyacinth is the cultivated Hyacinthus orientalis with its signature blue-violet bloom, and its scent profile is the classic early-spring green floral: cool, slightly metallic, with a watery freshness that few other flowers match. Pure hyacinth absolute is rare and expensive; most perfumery hyacinth is a reconstructed accord built from phenylacetaldehyde and styrallyl acetate, two molecules that approximate the natural scent. Hyacinth pairs particularly well with galbanum and woody bases. Argos Pallas Athene and one MFK Oud release at Parfum Central include blue hyacinth.
