  • Is it effective to add perfume’s fixative for such level?

    Posted by Fekher on March 21, 2025 at 12:31 am

    I want to ask about is it effective to add perfume’s fixative for products (alcoholic perfume) which contain low level of fragrance between 3 and 5%?

    I want to play for vapor pressure by lowering the evaporation of product so i’am thinking to add:

    *Triethyl citrate

    * Stearic acid

    *Cetyl palmitate

    * Cetearyl alcohol

    Do any one try solids in perfume to improve the longevity of perfume?

    Wating forwarded to any input or comment.

    I’ve only made essential oil perfumes because alcohol can give me a rash. Solid perfumes are very nice. You can use floral waxes to increase the longevity of the scent. It fixes scents very nicely.
