Hyacinth Absolute

Hyacinth Absolute – Hyacinthus orientalis

Hyacinth Absolute has a very distinctive floral character. It is fresh and green at the opening, then develops into a rich, sweet floral note with a soft watery quality. Perfumers generally use it when they want a fragrance to feel like fresh spring flowers rather than a heavy or powdery floral blend.

This natural absolute is obtained from the flowers of Hyacinthus orientalis through solvent extraction. It is not a steam-distilled essential oil, although buyers sometimes search for it as Hyacinth Oil.

Fragrance Character

The aroma is intensely floral but still feels fresh. Depending on the other ingredients in a formulation, it may show green, leafy, sweet or slightly aquatic nuances.

Since this is a natural flower extract, small differences in colour, thickness and aroma may occur between batches. The batch COA and SDS should be used for final technical evaluation.

How Hyacinth Absolute Is Used

Hyacinth Absolute is mainly used in fine fragrance and professional perfume development. Even a small quantity can add a realistic green-floral effect and help connect lighter top notes with deeper floral or woody materials.

It can be evaluated for:

• Fine fragrance and natural perfumery

• Green and spring-floral accords

• Attars and concentrated perfume oils

• Premium soaps and body-care fragrances

• Cosmetic fragrance formulations

• Luxury room sprays and home fragrances

Hyacinth Absolute works especially well in compositions where rose or jasmine feels too warm and the perfumer needs a fresher floral direction.

Recommended Blending Materials

It blends well with bergamot, mandarin, violet leaf, rose, jasmine, geranium, clary sage, neroli, sandalwood and cedarwood. It can also be paired with musk, amber, green or light aquatic accords.

The exact usage level will depend on the required fragrance strength and the other materials in the formula. Begin with a small trial quantity and evaluate the blend before increasing the concentration.

Sample and Wholesale Orders

Sample quantities are available for fragrance testing and product development. Wholesale quantities can be supplied for perfumers, fragrance houses, cosmetic manufacturers and other professional buyers.

For a bulk quotation, share the required quantity, destination country and intended application. Shipping availability will depend on the courier and destination-country regulations.

Storage and Safety

Store Hyacinth Absolute in a tightly closed container, protected from sunlight, heat and moisture. The material may become thicker in cooler conditions. Gently warming the closed container can help return it to a workable consistency.

Do not apply the undiluted absolute directly to the skin. Use it only after proper dilution and formulation testing. Follow the batch documentation, applicable IFRA guidance and local regulations.
