Fixing Agents for Jasmine Essential Oil Extraction in Perfumery

Regarding your question about finding suitable fixing agents for jasmine essential oil extraction for use in perfumes, and alternatives to paraffin oil:

Paraffin oil is generally not used as a fixing agent in fine perfumery because it is a heavy, non-volatile oil that can dilute the fragrance but doesn't effectively bind the volatile aroma compounds to slow down their evaporation in the way traditional fixatives do. For perfumes, you need substances that can blend well with the fragrance components and have a lower evaporation rate.

Based on the search for fixing agents, products like Cassiffix and Vetimoss were found. These types of ingredients are often used in fragrance formulations to help improve longevity and blend components.

You also asked about Octyl phthalate. While Octyl phthalate specifically was not found, Diethyl Phthalate (DEP) was found. DEP is a common solvent and fixative used in the fragrance industry, although its use is subject to regulations in some regions. It can help to dissolve fragrance materials and extend the life of the scent on the skin or in a product.

Choosing the best fixing agent depends on the specific characteristics of your jasmine extract and the overall desired profile of your final perfume product. It is recommended to test potential fixatives in small batches to assess their compatibility and effect on the fragrance.

We recommend reviewing the details of Cassiffix, Vetimoss, and Diethyl Phthalate (DEP) to see if they meet your formulation needs.
