What is fixative?
A fixative is a material used in perfumery to help a composition persist or develop more slowly. Its role depends on the formula. Velario’s public note lists do not disclose functional ingredient quantities, so they cannot identify which materials perform that role in a bottle.

How should you use this term when comparing fragrances?
Do not treat a long-lasting-sounding base note as proof of a particular fixative or its amount. Formula information and controlled testing answer different questions from a marketing note list. Neither can be reconstructed reliably from the note names alone.
What distinction matters?
A base-note description does not disclose the functional ingredient recipe.
The table reproduces a public catalog description. It is not an independent test, an ingredient analysis, or evidence of another brand’s formula.
