I did a bit more investigative work on that one because do recall hyacinthe being an actual French word: Baudelaire used it in "L'Invitation au voyage", complete with the French contraction rule:<br /><br />— Les soleils couchants<br />Revêtent les champs,<br />Les canaux, la ville entière,<br />D'hyacinthe et d'or;<br />Le monde s'endort<br />DansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-13953075483452799682012-07-26T15:13:37.432+01:002012-07-26T15:13:37.432+01:00'which must be pronounced in English WITH a so...'which must be pronounced in English WITH a sounded 'h'...'

hi there!
I believe that the French word for ...A,<br /><br />hi there!<br /><br />I believe that the French word for the flower (and not the name) is actually "jacinthe" with a J ~and not "hyacinthe" by any means. <br /><br />Unfortunately for us, that's how the bottle label depicts it with "de" intact and no liaison whatsoever. Therefore this obviously a totally fabricated name combining two languages that Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-5458465926758644082012-07-26T08:11:13.076+01:002012-07-26T08:11:13.076+01:00M,

Despite myself, I might add, as I usually find this private $$$ thing kinda silly. <br />There's nothing like dark florals with animalic touches to excite the imagination, it seems! :-)<br /><br />Tobacco Vanille is too sweet for me, though rather nice in its genre.
