A fixative is a substance used to equalize the vapor pressures, and thus the volatilities, of the raw materials in a perfume oil, and to increase the perfume's odour tenacity.

In simple words, fixatives increase the time for which the scent of a perfume lasts. They do this by slowing the rate at which the lighter scent molecules evaporate into the air.
