The world first encountered Hyacinth by Shiseido in 1918. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the floral family.
The birthplace of this fragrance — Japan, a place with a refined nose. Hyacinth Shiseido — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
If fragrances could speak, this one would say: 'You made the right choice.' The official website of Shiseido — http://www.rimmellondon.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Hyacinth is shaped as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Shiseido is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Floral and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the scent maps to Floral.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a multi-layered petal mood: Hyacinth. In this case 1 note works as one integrated frame, forming romantic softness that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are perceived as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Floral without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
Taken together Hyacinth holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
