Luscious, daring, alluring. Introducing the newest perfume by Hiram Green: Ultra. A narcissus themed fragrance inspired by energy, confidence and optimism of the 1980’s.
At the heart of Ultra the narcissus shines. Its rich and radiant character brings to life the vibrant spirit of the 1980’s. At the same time the flower’s name and its narcotic and intoxicating aroma also hint at something darker as they recall the Greek myth of Narcissus - a cautionary tale that was most likely lost on the hedonists of the decade…
"To me, the 1980’s conjure up images of bold fashion with big shoulder pads, mullets, catchy synth music and neon hued interiors. The decade had intense energy, confidence and a relentless optimism that inspired me to create Ultra." - Hiram Green
NARCISSUS ABSOLUTE has a rich and intoxicating scent with a crisp green top note and accent notes of tobacco and hay. Narcissus absolute is very powerful and long lasting. A little bit goes a long way. The absolute is produced from flowers harvested from Lozere, France. It is extracted using a 100% bio-sourced and biodegradable solvent. A first of its kind.
Did you know... Absolutes are generally extracted using synthetic solvents. However, the narcissus absolute in Ultra is extracted using a 100% bio-sourced and biodegradable solvent. This is the first of its kind. There are so far very few absolutes extracted using this method. In any case no solvent remains in the finished material. Narcissus absolute is very costly. The current price of the narcissus absolute used in Ultra is €15000/kg. Because of the high cost, it is not common for perfumes to contain real narcissus absolute.
