A fragrance lamp is a decorative piece, often made of glass, ceramic, or metal, designed to release fragrance into the air. Typically, these lamps use a fuel-based system or an alcohol-based liquid (sometimes a special fragrance oil) that is heated. The lamp contains a wick and a stone or catalytic converter, which, when lit, heats the fragrance oil. The heat then vaporizes the fragrance, allowing it to disperse throughout the room.
Key features:
-
Heat-based diffusion: The flame or catalytic process helps to release the scent.
-
Decorative: Often features intricate designs, making them an attractive home decor item.
-
Air purifying: Some fragrance lamps, especially those using catalytic combustion, also help purify the air by neutralizing odors.
