Perfumes fixatives

With Phenols. The 2-hydroxylethyl aryl ethers are prepared from the reaction of ethylene oxide with phenols at elevated temperatures and pressures (78,79). 2-Phenoxyethyl alcohol is a perfume fixative. The water-soluble alkylphenol ethers of the higher poly(ethylene glycol)s are important surface-active agents. They are made by adding ethylene oxide to the alkylphenol at ca 200°C and 200—250 kPa (>2 atm), using sodium acetate or...

Civet oil is the product of small glands in the anal pouch of the civet cat. It has a strong musky smell, and is used as a perfume fixative. 

Diethyl phthalate is also used as an alcohol denaturant and as a solvent for cellulose acetate in the manufacture of varnishes and dopes. In perfumery, diethyl phthalate is used as a perfume fixative at a concentration of 0.1-0.5% of the weight of the perfume used. 

Dibutyl phthalate has multiple uses in a variety of materials. Primary uses for dibutyl phthalate are to soften and increase plastic flexibility, for example, in shower curtains, raincoats, food wraps, and car interiors to name a few. It has been used in insect repellents and as a solvent for perfume oil and resins. Dibutyl phthalate can be used as a plasticizer in nitrocellulose lacquers, elastomers, explosives, nail polish, and solid rocket propellants. Other uses include perfume fixative, textile lubricating agent, safety glass additive, printing inks, and adhesives. 

Xenoestrogens, exhibiting a wide molecular diversity, are found in a number of cosmetic products, such as plasticizers, perfume fixatives, and solvents (e.g., dibutyl phthalate), industrial chemicals and pollutants such as insecticides (e.g., methoxychlor, DDT, and DDE), epoxy resins, and polycarbonate (e.g., bisphenol A), and herbicides (e.g., simazine). This group of chemicals has been classified as environmental endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs), defined as exogenous agents that interfere with the synthesis, transport, binding, action, or elimination of natural hormones in the body that are responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis, reproduction, development, and/or behavior. A list of representative chemicals is shown in Table 1 based on commercial usage. 

Indole is used as a chemical intermediate, a perfume fixative, and as a synthetic flavor. In addition, it is possibly a kairomone (a volatile chemical released by a plant to attract phytophagus insects). Indole is also a component of tobacco smoke, and occurs naturally in coal tar, jasmine oil, and orange-blossom oil. It is also a bacterial decomposition product of tryptophan in the gut.
