Fixative is a term of any substance which is able to hold and “fix” a fragrance, helping it to last longer on the skin. Fixatives are generally the base notes, which includes substances of low volatility and is odourless.

Their use in perfumery is essential as they help elongate shelf-life and integrate fragrances by blending aromas and holding individual or overall scents together over time. Certain fixatives also guide and blend the fragrances together into perfect smells.

In fine perfumery, it is very common for certain fragrance concentrates to have outstanding fragrance properties, but not as long lasting as one might expect it to be, considering the high cost price of the fragrance compounds. This is usually the case for alcohol-based perfumes (Eau De Parfum). Most of the time, EDP’s would require a good perfume fixative to “anchor” the scent.
