Fixatives 2: Non-Musk

Fixatives

Fixatives are materials that help fragrances last longer: there are a great many of them, most have an odour of their own in addition to fixative properties and not all fixatives work in the same way or on on the same materials.  These kits are intended to enable you to explore some of the most useful fixatives so that you can get to know how they work with your other materials and how they differ from each other.

Non-Musk Fixatives

Fixatives Kit 1 covers the musk fixatives, in this kit we’re focussing on a range of non-musk materials that are effective fixatives.  Because a number of these materials come as crystals or powders there are 16 materials in this kit, including 6 pots of solid materials and 10 glass bottles of liquid materials all contained in our usual perfume making kit box.  You also get a downloadable set of scent and usage notes for the materials in the kit.
