A fixative is a substance, often natural or synthetic, used in perfumery to stabilize and extend the longevity of a fragrance. Fixatives slow down the evaporation of the volatile components in a perfume, thereby helping the scent last longer on the skin. Traditionally, fixatives include resins like Benzoin and Frankincense, as well as animal-derived products such as ambergris and civet, though the latter are less commonly used today due to ethical considerations. Modern perfumery also employs synthetic fixatives like ambroxide and benzyl salicylate to achieve the same effect while maintaining the integrity of the fragrance profile. Fixatives can be found in various forms, including tinctures, gums, resins, powders, and essential oils, and are generally incorporated into the base notes of a fragrance, constituting around 3-5% of the overall composition.
At Fix Scent, we specialize in crafting premium fixatives that are essential to the creation of enduring and well-balanced fragrances. Understanding the crucial role of fixatives in perfumery, our products are designed to "anchor" your scents, ensuring that they remain vibrant and long-lasting.
The volatility of alcohol-based perfumes often results in a fleeting scent. To counteract this, our fixatives are expertly formulated to reduce the evaporation rate of alcohol, enhancing fragrance stability. We draw inspiration from both traditional natural fixatives, such as Benzoin and Frankincense, and modern synthetic alternatives like ambroxide, to offer solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s perfumers.
In addition to extending the life of a fragrance, our fixatives often contribute to its olfactory depth, serving as powerful base notes. Whether you are creating a new blend or enhancing an existing one, Fix Scent’s products ensure that your fragrances captivate the senses from the first application to the last lingering note.
Committed to innovation and sustainability, we at Fix Scent continue to develop fixatives that respect both the art of perfumery and the environment. Our Fixative BMV, for example, is a virtually odorless compound that can be used in up to 10% of a fragrance’s composition without altering its intended olfactory profile. Though it is non-soluble in alcohol, it serves as an excellent fixative for specific applications, including burning and chewing tobacco.
With Fix Scent, you can trust that your fragrances will not only stand the test of time but also deliver a consistent and memorable sensory experience.
