Product Description

Perfume Fixative (Galaxolide + Tonalide + DEP)

Fragrance Support Blend for Perfume & Perfumery Formulations

Perfume Fixative is a ready-to-use fragrance support blend of Galaxolide, Tonalide and Diethyl Phthalate (DEP) designed for use in perfume and fragrance formulations.

The blend combines the soft, persistent musky character of Galaxolide and Tonalide with DEP as a fragrance solvent and carrier. When used appropriately, it can help provide body, smoothness and lasting character to suitable fragrance compositions while supporting slower-evaporating elements of the perfume.

It is particularly convenient for DIY perfumers who want a pre-blended fragrance support system instead of handling the individual ingredients separately.

Suitable for:
Perfume Making • Fragrance Blending • Perfume Concentrates • Alcohol-Based Perfumes • Perfume Oils • Attars • DIY Perfumery

For fragrance formulation use only

Product Specifications

Appearance:
Clear to slightly hazy, colourless to pale yellow liquid. Appearance may vary depending on concentration and temperature.

Odour:
Characteristic soft, clean, sweet-musky fragrance with mild aromatic notes.

Solubility:
Soluble/miscible with many fragrance oils and common perfumery solvents. Not readily soluble in water. Compatibility and clarity should be tested in the intended finished formulation.

Shelf Life:
Typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in a tightly closed container away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

Because this is your proprietary/prepared blend rather than a single chemical, the final specification should ideally be based on the actual formulation and stability data.

Safety Information

For fragrance formulation use only. Not for ingestion or direct use as an undiluted finished perfume.

Avoid direct contact of the concentrated material with eyes and prolonged skin contact.

Use suitable gloves and good handling practices when working with the concentrated blend.

Use in a well-ventilated area.

Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

Keep out of reach of children.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and incompatible materials.

Avoid release of concentrated material into drains or the environment.

The safety classification of the final blend should be based on its actual composition and SDS, rather than simply copying the hazard information of Galaxolide, Tonalide or DEP individually.

FAQs

1. What is Perfume Fixative?
This Perfume Fixative is a prepared blend of Galaxolide, Tonalide and DEP designed to support fragrance performance and simplify perfume formulation.

2. What does a perfume fixative do?
A fixative/support material can influence the evaporation profile of a fragrance and help provide body and persistence to the composition. It does not literally prevent perfume from evaporating.

3. Will this make my perfume last longer?
It may help support the lasting character of an appropriately formulated fragrance, but it cannot guarantee a specific number of hours. Longevity depends on the entire fragrance composition, concentration, application and environment.

4. What are Galaxolide and Tonalide?
They are synthetic musk fragrance materials valued for their soft, persistent musky character and are widely used within fragrance compositions.

5. Why does the fixative itself have a fragrance?
Because Galaxolide and Tonalide are themselves fragrance materials. Therefore, this fixative is not completely odourless and can subtly influence the character of the finished perfume.
