Apollo Hyacinth
by Eric Buterbaugh Florals
Apollo Hyacinth delivers a highly accurate and refined green floral scent that captures the essence of hyacinth stems and lily of the valley with remarkable authenticity. The opening features a bright, tart green burst with neroli and pear, combining crisp freshness with a watery, herbal vibrancy. As it settles, the perfume reveals a soft, powdery floral core where hyacinth and lily of the valley harmonize with subtle earthy woody notes from vetiver and oakmoss, creating a sophisticated chypre-like character. The dry down is gentle and airy, with a clean, enduring freshness that lingers in the air like a garden breeze. Despite the charm and precision of its composition, the scent has notably short longevity and moderate sillage, making it best suited for warm weather and daytime wear. It’s particularly well-suited for those seeking a soft, non-overpowering floral green scent that feels both natural and refined, with a delicate balance between sweetness and green bitterness.
