Aromafix

I found some stuff on LotionCrafters called Aromafix. It says it can be used in bar soaps as well as other lotions, etc.

Here is the info:

AromaFix™ Fragrance Fixative
CAS No. 618949-72-7
AromaFix™ is a raw material derived from glucose which serves to increase significantly the lasting power of many fragrance types without imparting an odor of its own. It's a unique water-soluble oil with a broad range of miscibility in water, alcohol and most organic oils and solvents (except hydrocarbons). AromaFix™ has a distinct emollient feel and a high film gloss. It serves as a perfume fixative, anchoring top and heart notes typical of florals, herbals, citruses and lavenders. It shows the least effect when added to oriental, heavy woodsy and other base notes.

AromaFix™ can be added to bar soap, creams, room deodorizers and perfume formulations. Simply add it to the water phase in water-containing formulations or mix with your fragrance prior to adding it into perfume formulations. AromaFix™ is not miscible with cyclomethicone so should not be used in cyclomethicone-based room and linen sprays.

Recommended Usage Rate: 2 - 5%
Appearance: Pale yellow, practically odorless, medium viscosity liquid
INCI: PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether

Has anyone used this?

hmmmm no, I've never heard of it but i'm VERY intrigued.. I make room sprays with water and would really love something to make the smell last longer.. I hope someone comes along with more insight!

Any further info on this subject? I also read about Aromafix and am wondering if it will help intensify the fragrance in my cp soaps. I find that a lot of my fragrances disappear. especially eucalyptus/pepperment

I have this and I use it from time to time to help anchor a scent. It certainly does do that. The soaps I have used it in have held the scent well but to know for sure, you need to do a batch with the same FO and without aromafix and leave them for the same length of time. Scientific way to do it for sure, but I have never bothered. I use it sparingly and not often. Soap seems to be have a lot of nice lather as well. It does not alter the scent.
