Fixative is worth investing into

The value of this skill increases significantly when you are able to fully upgrade it after investing the required number of points in the Alchemy Branch. When this skill is not yet fully upgraded, you would need to have the upgraded oils to feel a significant difference on the time you need to keep reapplying oils.

Conclusion

If you rely on using oils against your enemies, then it is definitely worth it to get this skill. Having the option to only apply your oils once saves you time from constantly going back to the menu and reapplying your oils.
