Fixative

Fixative

1. Determine the required percentage based on formulation strength.

2. Pre-mix with alcohol or fragrance base for uniform distribution.

3. Add during the blending phase of perfume creation.

4. Allow the formula to mature for optimal performance.

5. Conduct compatibility testing before bulk production.

What does a fixative do in perfumes?
A fixative slows down the evaporation of volatile notes, helping the fragrance last longer and smell more consistent over time.

Does this fixative have a strong smell?
No, it typically has a mild or neutral aroma so it supports the fragrance without overpowering the main scent.

Where is this aroma chemical commonly used?
It is widely used in perfumes, attars, deodorants, creams, candles, and other fragranced products.

What is the ideal usage level?
Most formulations use it between 1%–10%, but the exact amount depends on the desired longevity and formula structure.

Can beginners use this in fragrance making?
Yes, but accurate measurement and small-batch testing are recommended before scaling production.

How should it be stored?
Store in a tightly closed container, away from heat and direct sunlight, to maintain quality and performance.
