- Classic uses : often used in chypres and green floral perfumes
- Effect : Adds sparkle, freshness and a luxurious spring association
Composition (nature-identical accord)
the reconstruction includes:
- cis‑3‑Hexenol (green, grassy)
- Iso Cyclo Citral (fresh, hyacinth-like)
- Benzyl acetate (floral, jasmine-like)
- Linalool (floral, fresh)
- Hydroxycitronellal (muguet-like, soft floral)

💡 Tips
- Use sparingly: hyacinth can quickly become too “soapy” or sharp in high doses.
- Combine with citrus (bergamot, mandarin) for a fresh opening, or with white flowers (jasmine, tuberose) for a luxurious bouquet.
- Ideal in spring and summer perfumes , but also as a fresh lift in classic chypres.
