Fantasy Makeup: In the Garden: Hyacinth April 6, 2008

If I there was one essential oil (or absolute) that I could wish into existence… it would be Hyacinth.

The gorgeous, heavy fragrance of these flowers cannot be captured and this is such a pity… for the only way that we can enjoy them is but for a short while. But what a divine short while that is! A single hyacinth bloom can scent an entire room for several days…

I have sweet memories of my hyacinth bulbs blooming on the edge of spring when I lived up north.  Unfortunately, we don’t “do” bulbs here in South Carolina, but we CAN buy them in the grocery store, already in a pot! :)

If you are enjoying your Spring Hyacinths right now, I am jealous! Enjoy these gorgeous photos and use them as inspiration for some fresh Spring makeup…
