Caring for your Quiet Light

A few small rituals keep these blooms looking their best for longer.

A note on your specific blooms

  • Hyacinth — Refresh the water often and rinse the stems when you do, as hyacinths release a sticky sap that clouds the water and shortens the life of nearby blooms.

How long your flowers last

With the right care — a fresh trim, clean water every couple of days, and a spot away from heat and direct sun — your arrangement stays beautiful for several days. Because every stem is conditioned and hydrated in our Dubai atelier before it travels, it arrives at the very start of its life.

Symbolises

Rebirth, sincerity & remembrance

Native to the eastern Mediterranean and named for the youth Hyakinthos of Greek myth, the hyacinth carries one of the most enveloping scents in floristry. A single dense spike perfumes an entire room, which is why Amicis places it sparingly, letting its fragrance and upright form anchor a composition rather than crowd it.
