About this material

Elevate your fragrance compositions with the discreet power of Fixateur 505E — a masterfully engineered base designed to enhance longevity, depth, and olfactory cohesion.

Crafted by Firmenich, one of the world’s most revered fragrance houses, this fixative embodies precision, subtlety, and performance at the highest level.

Fixateur 505E works behind the scenes, anchoring volatile top notes while enriching the diffusion of heart and base accords.

Its neutral yet sophisticated profile ensures it harmonises effortlessly with both delicate florals and rich oriental blends, extending wear time without altering the intended character of the perfume.

While it may appear understated at first — particularly in its undiluted form — Fixateur 505E reveals its true character once blended into a composition.

It brings to life a powerful, remarkably lifelike interpretation of natural ambergris, complete with its nuanced animalic signature — a depth notably absent in materials such as Ambroxan.

The result is a dry, woody, earthy ambergris profile of exceptional strength and sophistication, underpinned by an extraordinarily tenacious odour trail.

An iconic base material, Fixateur 505E traces its heritage to Firmenich’s original showcase for the then-captive AMBROX® DL.

Historically, several variations existed within the Fixateur range, each formulated to facilitate the use of AMBROX; today, these have been refined and consolidated into the singular, definitive 505E.

This lineage reinforces its status as a cornerstone ingredient in modern perfumery.

Favoured by perfumers seeking refinement and durability, this professional-grade fixative imparts a smooth, lingering trail — allowing compositions to unfold gracefully over time.

Whether used to stabilise intricate formulas or to enhance the overall tenacity of a fragrance, Fixateur 505E is an essential tool in the art of fine perfumery.

Key Benefits:

Enhances longevity and sillage
Stabilises volatile notes
Maintains fragrance integrity
Imparts a rich, ambergris-like depth
Suitable for a wide range of olfactory families

A quiet luxury — unseen, yet unmistakably felt.

Documentation Supply Policy

IFRA formulation guide

Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.

Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.

No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore

Creative directions, not tested formulas.

Woods in daylight

With bergamot and a crisp citrus opening

Explore a spare wood structure with citrus providing the opening contrast. Compare a brighter version with the wood reference and follow how the outline changes, keeping the later impression as important as the first moment.

A softer grain

With sandalwood and a musk direction

Set the woody material beside a softer wood reference, then compare a restrained musk variation. Decide whether your concept needs creamy texture, dry definition or more space between its parts before expanding the accord.

Petals on timber

With rose and a clear floral accord

Try a flower-and-wood study in which both subjects remain recognisable. Compare the floral reference with the woody variation through the evaluation, noting whether the wood forms a useful backdrop or becomes the centre of the idea.

If swallowed or otherwise exposed, follow the SDS first-aid instructions and seek medical advice as appropriate. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a medical professional.

Product-specific warnings, handling precautions and storage requirements take precedence over this general information.

Read the applicable SDS

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available to logged in users who have purchased this item, where applicable.

Documents are not supplied before purchase.

Read the applicable SDS before handling or using the material. Follow its instructions for hazards, protective equipment, first aid, handling, storage and disposal.

An SDS provides information about the material supplied; it does not replace an assessment of the safety or compliance of a finished formulation.

Please note that supplementary documentation—including, but not limited to, IFRA Certificates, Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Allergen Declarations, and other regulatory or compositional data—may not be available for all products. Refer to the "Supplementary Documentation" tab to check current availability. If the tab is not present, no supplementary documents are available for the material.

Customers intending to use materials in cosmetic applications, including for the preparation of a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) under UK and EU Cosmetics Regulations, must contact us prior to purchase to confirm the availability and suitability of any required documentation where it is not explicitly stated. Orders must not be placed in reliance on the assumption that such documentation will be provided where it is not explicitly stated on the relevant product page at the time of purchase.

Document scope and limitations

The supplementary documents currently available for this material are identified in this tab. Availability varies between materials.

Batch-specific certificates, analytical results and additional technical data are not guaranteed. They are supplied only where their availability is expressly confirmed in this tab or separately confirmed by us in writing.

Where provided, supplier IFRA documentation does not replace a comprehensive safety assessment or constitute approval of a finished formulation. Customers must consider their complete formulation and intended application.

Any linked IFRA standard is provided for reference and is not a batch-specific specification or analytical certificate for the material supplied.

Do not assume that documentation confirms a particular batch, residual constituent level, manufacturing process or analytical result unless it expressly states this.

The same limitations apply to allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets, specifications, and other regulatory, analytical or compositional documents. These documents provide information only within their stated scope; they do not replace a comprehensive safety assessment or constitute approval of a finished formulation, nor do they guarantee suitability for a particular application. Customers must assess their complete formulation and intended use.

Customer responsibility

These limitations apply to reliance on all documentation supplied, including IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets, specifications and other supporting documents.

Perfume Extract is solely a reseller of this product and is not an agent, official distributor, or affiliated in any way with the manufacturer.

Customers are responsible for determining whether the material and available documentation meet their requirements before purchase, and for assessing the safety and compliance of their finished products.

We do not provide formulation instructions, formulation consultancy or confirmation of suitability at a particular concentration or for a particular application.

Producer identity, detailed sourcing and processing information are not disclosed beyond the information published in the product listing.

Please read our Documentation Supply Policy alongside the product specification and available documentation.

Synonyms, alternative names, CAS/EC references, botanical names, manufacturer references and external links may describe a substance or material family generally. They should not, on their own, be taken as confirmation of the supplied material’s producer, geographical origin, manufacturing process, grade, purity, constituent levels or batch characteristics.

In particular, a synonym or reference must not be used to infer that a material is free from a particular constituent, meets a numerical specification, or is suitable for a particular application or concentration.

IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets and other supporting documents apply only within their expressly stated scope. A general specification or reference document is not a batch-specific analytical result unless it expressly identifies the relevant batch.

If information appears inconsistent, or a particular characteristic is essential to your purchase, contact us for written clarification before ordering. Do not resolve discrepancies by assuming that a synonym, external reference or document for another grade applies to the material supplied.

We do not confirm characteristics beyond those expressly supported by the applicable product specification or our written confirmation. Customers remain responsible for assessing their complete formulation and intended application.
