Hyacinth (Hyacynthus Orientalis)
Category Green
Green, floral, plant, strong.
Hyacinths come from Asia Minor and the Balkans.
Hyacinth absolute is obtained through extraction with volatile solvents.
Since the manufacture of this absolute is virtually non-existent, perfumers reconstitute it artificially.
Used mainly in floral notes as a fixative.
In Greek mythology, Apollo and Hyacinthus were friends. One day they were playing at discus-throwing, when Zephyr, the god of the winds, in a fit of jealousy, made the west wind wind blow the discus and hit Hyacinthus on the head, killing him instantly. The grief-stricken Apollo grew hyacinths from his dead friend's blood so as to remember him forever.
A vital scent that induces a feeling of eternal youth.
