FIXOLIDE

Fixolide is a clean, modern musk molecule celebrated for its soft, sweet, and cottony aroma. Belonging to the polycyclic musk family, it imparts a radiant, long-lasting freshness reminiscent of clean laundry and smooth skin. Used as a base note and fixative, Fixolide enhances the diffusion of florals and fruits, providing a sense of purity, warmth, and comfort. It’s a staple in modern perfumery for its ability to unify and extend compositions.

History & Production: Developed in the mid-to-late 20th century as part of the shift toward synthetic musks, Fixolide belongs to the polycyclic musk class. It was engineered for greater safety, stability, and diffusion compared to older nitro musks. In practice, perfumers use Fixolide as a fixative and base enhancer—it helps anchor lighter notes while keeping a modern, clean character.
