Vapor Pressure Regimes of Monoterpenes vs Sesquiterpenes
Volatile top notes like limonene possess high vapor pressures (>1.5 mmHg at 25°C), evaporating rapidly within initial minutes.
Fixative Molecular Retardation Mechanics
Heavy sesquiterpene alcohols and macrocyclic musks form hydrogen-bonded solute networks that lower the activity coefficients of light volatiles.
Skin Surface Thermal Conductance and Evaporation Half-Life
Epidermal skin temperature (approx. 33°C) accelerates molecular diffusion rates, requiring carefully engineered fixative ratios.
