Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 How does the fixation strength of certain basenote tinctures compare with the fixation strength of the same material in their oil, resinoid or absolute forms? For example, if one were making the following tinctures using 96% Alcohol, Arctander's tincture percentages and filtering, how would the fixation rate of the same weight of the tincture compare to the respective material's other forms? 1 gram Vanilla tincture 10% versus 1 gram Vanilla absolute 1 gram Olibanum tincture 20% versus 1 gram Olibanum resinoid or 1 gram Olibanum oil 1 gram Labdanum tincture 20% versus 1 gram Labdanum absolute 1 gram Balsam Tolu tincture 20% versus 1 gram Balsam Tolu oil 1 gram Galbanum tincture 20% versus 1 gram Galbanum resinoid or 1 gram Galbanum CO2 Precise rates would be ideal. However, a general comparison, eg. 1 gram Vanilla absolute has 100 times the fixation of 1 gram Vanilla tincture 10%, would be helpful.
