which is better for fixative - oils or herbs, spieces and resins?

[Guest guest]

What difference is there in adding plant materials like vanilla

beans,benzoin tears etc to alcohol or oil (for giving then a good

fixing quality) from adding essential oils, absolutes and resinoids of

the same? Which will make the solvent a better fixative?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I've never conducted a study on this, but I think the fixative properties

would be just about the same. Any little variation would be minimal, but it

might be a nice experiment for someone to try.
