hyacinth specialty

Hyacinth specialty is a synthetic fragrance compound primarily employed for its floral aroma reminiscent of the hyacinth flower. It is characterized by a fresh, green floral scent that provides a strong and diffusive accord. Known by various trade names including hyacinth 271 (Charabot) and jacintheme 135 family (Firmenich), it serves as a key ingredient in perfumery formulations. Its appearance is typically that of a liquid with a specific gravity close to water and a refractive index consistent with fragrance oils. The compound is documented in controlled-vocabulary resources such as PubChem, facilitating consistent identification. Sourced through complex synthesis pathways, it is utilized specifically to recreate the distinctive hyacinth floral note in fragrance blends.

Hyacinth specialty occurs as a man-made fragrance agent designed to replicate the green floral heart of the hyacinth flower. It finds application predominantly in fragrance formulations targeting floral notes associated with carnations, tuberose, and festive occasions. The compound enhances bouquets by imparting a strong, fresh floral profile often sought in perfumery. Usage guidelines follow the IFRA (Global) standards, which recommend limitations on usage levels in final fragrance products. This adherence ensures compliant and consumer-safe applications within the fragrance industry, supporting both creative flexibility and regulatory compliance.

This fragrance ingredient exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.9952 to 1.0024 at 25 °C, indicating a density close to that of water, which affects blending and solubility behavior. Its refractive index between 1.5058 and 1.5105 at 20 °C aligns with typical aromatic oils, informing quality and identity assessments. The flash point is 82 °C (178 °F), suggesting moderate volatility and storage considerations regarding flammability. Its insolubility in paraffin oil highlights selective solubility characteristics relevant for formulation in oil-based versus aqueous systems. Collectively, these physical and chemical properties influence the compound’s handling, compatibility, and stability during fragrance manufacturing and application.
