Using Fragrance Fixatives: Heat Sensitivity of Perfume Oil

Subject: Advice on using Musk Fix and Sugar Fix

Hello! Thank you for your question about using Musk Fix and Sugar Fix to help your perfume last longer.

You are asking if heating Musk Fix or Sugar Fix to 50-60°C and adding it to perfume oil will damage the perfume oil or alter its scent.

Generally, heating fragrance materials like perfume oils to temperatures like 50-60°C and adding a hot substance to them is not recommended. Perfume oils contain many volatile and delicate aromatic compounds that are sensitive to heat. High temperatures can cause these compounds to degrade, which can indeed change the scent profile or weaken the fragrance intensity.

Fragrance fixatives like Musk Fix and Sugar Fix are typically incorporated into the overall fragrance composition by mixing them into the base (such as alcohol or carrier oil) or blending them gently with the fragrance oil and other components at room temperature. If a fixative requires warming for solubility, it should be done carefully and ideally mixed with the base before adding the sensitive fragrance oil, or the mixture should be allowed to cool down significantly before combining with the perfume oil. Adding a substance heated to 50-60°C directly to perfume oil is likely too high a temperature and could negatively impact the fragrance quality.

Regarding the heat tolerance of perfume oil when making body spray: Similar to the above, direct heating of the perfume oil should be avoided. Body sprays are usually made by mixing perfume oil with a base (like perfumer's alcohol and water) at room temperature.

For the most accurate usage instructions, it's always best to refer to the specific product details provided for Musk Fix (Product ID 7502) and Sugar Fix (Product ID 3346) on their respective product pages.
