Fragrance Longevity in Liquid Soap and Shampoo

You asked about the difference between Last Fix and Musk and which is better for making fragrance last in liquid soap, as well as how to make bakery fragrances last in shampoo/body wash.

Based on the information provided:

• Musk vs. Dedicated Fixatives: Musk is traditionally used to help fragrance last, but it is not considered a dedicated fixative and can alter the original scent. Dedicated fixatives are developed specifically for extending fragrance life without significantly changing the smell.
• Last Fix and Sugar Fix: Products like Last Fix and Sugar Fix are examples of dedicated fragrance fixatives suitable for use in wash-off products like body wash and shampoo. They are generally more effective at making fragrance last compared to using Musk.
• Bakery/Food Fragrances in Wash-off Products: Fragrances designed for food or bakery applications may not contain components that are resistant to being washed away by surfactants in soap and shampoo. This is why the scent does not last after rinsing.
• Making Scent Last: To make fragrances, including bakery or food-grade fragrances, last longer in your liquid soap or shampoo, you should use a fragrance fixative. Last Fix and Sugar Fix are recommended options for this purpose in body wash.

It is recommended to test both Last Fix and Sugar Fix with your specific fragrance, as different fixatives can perform differently depending on the fragrance composition.
