How much tincture of benzoin should be used to fix alcohol in perfumery?

If you have actual benzoin, use it as opposed to your tincture of benzoin. Unless you know the strength of your benzoin tincture, you could go from there. 1-3% might be a good start. How about 1.5%. eg: 98.5% perfumers' alcohol, 1.5% benzoin.

Why cyanide is used in benzoin synthesis?

In the benzoin reaction, the cyanide molecule acts as a catalyst. That means it takes part in the reaction but is not used up. It is a powerful nucleophile, as a cyanide molecule is made of a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom, leaving a free pair of electrons. During the nucleophilic addition, the carbon chain of the aldehyde it is reacting with gets one carbon longer. This reverses the polarity, which triggers another nucleophilic addition. Therefore cyanide is used as it acts as a catalyst for the reaction. It gets eliminated again, so it is not used up.
