Hyacinth Absolute Oil
Hyacinth Absolute Oil has a rich green-floral aroma with fresh verdant notes, soft sweetness and a gentle earthy undertone. The scent unfolds gradually and sits firmly in the heart of blends, where it is used as a distinctive floral modifier rather than a sharp or highly diffusive note.

Typical Uses of Hyacinth Absolute Oil
Hyacinth Absolute Oil is used mainly as a professional perfumery and formulation material. It is not a general-purpose aromatic oil.
Common uses include:
Perfumery and fine fragrance compositions as a green-floral heart or modifier
Cosmetic scenting in creams, oils, balms and solid perfumes
Aromatic blending where freshness, depth and green floral character are required
Craft and artisan products such as candles and soaps at very low concentrations
This material is normally used as a supporting note rather than a dominant aroma.
Handling and Working Dilution
Hyacinth Absolute Oil may feel slightly viscous, and aroma clarity improves noticeably once diluted.
If helpful, gently warming the closed bottle in the hands can assist with measuring.
Preparing a 1% working dilution in perfumer’s alcohol or a suitable carrier oil is recommended to allow accurate dosing during formulation.
