Hyacinth leaf is a green or aromatic note that evokes leaves, herbs, stems, fresh air, or crushed vegetation. Its profile can be crisp, bitter, watery, camphoraceous, grassy, or slightly earthy depending on the material. In perfumery, green notes add realism and lift, keeping sweet, floral, or woody compositions from feeling too heavy. Hyacinth leaf pairs well with citrus, tea, fig, violet leaf, galbanum, tomato leaf, white musk, vetiver, lavender, and light woods.
