hyacinth oil

Hyacinth oil is a floral-scented fragrance derived from hyacinthus orientalis, used primarily as a fragrance agent in perfumery and related applications.

General Material Description

Hyacinth oil is a natural fragrance extract obtained from the flowering plant hyacinthus orientalis. Typically presented as a viscous liquid, it possesses a distinctly floral odor dominated by soft, sweet, and fresh notes reminiscent of the hyacinth flower. Synonyms include hyacinthus orientalis oil and Oils, hyacinth. The oil is primarily used for its aromatic qualities in fragrance formulations. Its detailed chemical profile can be explored via the PubChem database. Sourced through steam distillation or solvent extraction of hyacinth flowers, this oil captures the essence of the plant’s signature scent for use in perfumery and aromatic applications.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

Hyacinth oil naturally occurs in the flowers of hyacinthus orientalis, a bulbous plant native to parts of Europe and widely cultivated for ornamental purposes. Its fragrant components are harnessed in the fragrance industry as a key floral note in perfumes and scented products. Classified under fragrance agents, hyacinth oil finds application in creating complex floral accords and enhancing botanical impression in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care items. Its use and concentration are regulated by international standards such as IFRA (Global), which guide safe incorporation into consumer products while preserving olfactory characteristics.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

Hyacinth oil exhibits solubility in alcohol and limited solubility in water, approximately 474.5 mg/L at 25 °C, consistent with typical essential oils. This solubility behavior influences its formulation, favoring incorporation into alcohol-based systems and oil blends rather than aqueous solutions. The oil's molecular complexity includes various aromatic esters and volatile organic compounds imparting the characteristic floral odor. These properties suggest suitability for perfumery usage where solubility and volatility are critical for fragrance release and stability.

FAQ

What is hyacinth oil and how is it characterized?
Hyacinth oil is a natural fragrance extract derived from the flowers of hyacinthus orientalis. It has a pronounced floral scent profile described as fresh, sweet, and soft, capturing the essence of the hyacinth flower. The oil is commonly used as a fragrance agent in perfumery and aromatic products. Its chemical composition contributes to its distinctive aroma and influences its physical properties such as solubility and volatility.
How and where is hyacinth oil sourced and applied?
Hyacinth oil is obtained primarily by steam distillation or solvent extraction from the flowers of hyacinthus orientalis. The plant is cultivated largely in Europe and other temperate areas for ornamental and extraction purposes. Due to its aromatic profile, hyacinth oil is incorporated in fragrance formulations like perfumes, cosmetic products, and other scented goods. It is soluble in alcohol but has limited water solubility, making it suitable for alcohol-based formulations commonly used in the fragrance industry.
What safety regulations and standards apply to hyacinth oil?
Hyacinth oil is classified under fragrance agents with safety and usage guidelines overseen by organizations such as IFRA (Global). Regulatory documentation highlights the oil as harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or in contact with skin, and it may cause irritation to respiratory tracts, eyes, and skin. Its oral toxicity in rats is recorded with an LD50 of 4200 mg/kg, indicating moderate toxicity. Safety protocols recommend protective measures during handling, and the material is not approved for flavor use. Regulatory references include EPA databases and adherence to IFRA Code of Practice for safe fragrance application.
