2. Never leave the stone burning with an open flame
3. Do not let the stone burn with an open flame for longer than 3-4 minutes.

HOW TO USE A FRAGRANCE LAMP 

TURNING A FRAGRANCE LAMP OFF 

- when you want to 'turn your lamp off', do one of the following

1] If you are going to be lighting your Fragrance Lamp again in the next few days, simply place the snuffer cap over your stone burner. Then when ready to light your lamp again, remove the cap and light your stone burner or remove the burner and wick and add more fuel if necessary. Then place the burner and wick back into your lamp.
OR
2] If you are NOT going to be using your lamp for a few days or longer, after the stone cools to the touch, remove it from the lamp. Place your burner and wick on a clean paper towel and let it dry completely or store it in CLEAN 4-in-one-solution.

CARE AND USE TIPS
      my own experience

- IF you let your fragrance lamp go out and you don't take the wick out immediately, put the snuffer cap on your fragrance lamp or you will ruin any fragrance fuel left in the lamp. The antiseptic will evaporate and your fuel will not burn no matter what you do!
- NEVER USE ANY TYPE OF FRAGRANCE OR FUEL OR OIL OTHER THAN THE FRAGRANCE FUEL THAT IS MADE FOR THESE FRAGRANCE LAMPS! It won't work and you will ruin your Stone Burner and possibly your lamp
- you can store your stone burner and wick in clean 4-in-1-solution. Then when you are ready to light your fragrance lamp, you won't have the usual 20 minute wait [for the wick to soak]
- Our new Stone Burner and Wicks will last approx 6 months or longer with proper care
- DO NOT soak your wicks in dirty cleaning solution - you are just letting the sediments settle into your stone burner
- DO NOT remove the wire that is across the top of your stone burner!
- a Stone Burner and Wick is not like any standard wick. Do not pull the wick up thru the stone buner like a traditional wick. These wicks are just not made that way and you will ruin your burner and wick.
- to clean your stone burners and fragrance lamp, burn 4-in-one-solution in your fragrance lamp
- You can use our exotic Onaya Fragrance Fuels in any brand of Catalytic Effusion Fra

FRAGRANCE LAMP PARTS AND COMPONENTS

Fragrance Lamp Fuel Oil
Fragrance fuel is fragrance oil suspended in an isopropyl alcohol base. This fragrance lamp fuel is the base of the catalytic process which effuses the fragrance into the air.

Wick Assembly
The wick assembly consists of three parts.
     1) Stone - The stone is made of a porous, ceramic material which allows it to soak up the fragrance fuel from the wick.
     2) Wick - The wick is typically made of cotton and draws fuel from the chamber to the wick.
     3) Metal Collar - The metal color connects the stone and wick plus allows the assembly to rest on top of the chamber.

Lamp Chamber
The chamber is the body of fragrance lamp, and holds the fragrance fuel to allow the wick to draw the fuel to the stone.

Snuffing Cap
The snuffing cap is used to safety stop the fragrance process and it prevents fuel from evaporating out of the chamber when not in use.

Decorative Cap
The decorative cap provides decorative accent and function. The cap reduces the likeliness of someone touching the stone while burning.

Funnel
A small funnel comes with a fragrance lamp. The funnel makes it easier to pour the fuel into the lamp.

Accessories
The most common accessories for fragrance lamps are decorative plates which are placed underneath the lamp. The plates are used to catch excess fuel which may be spilled when filling the lamp. The plates also provide a decorative accent.

 

The technology behind the fragrance lamp was invented by European scientists in the mid 1800's. The scientists were searching for a method of disinfecting and purifying air. The scientists discovered that using a simple catalytic process (no flame) would accomplish their mission.

This technology was used in a variety of commercial application until the 1930's when it was discovered that fragrance could be added to the fuel used in the catalytic process and the fragrance lamp was born. Wealthy Europeans have been using fragrance lamps for nearly 70 years. The catalytic process causes the fragrance to be effused into the air. This effusion process actually destroys the "stinky" molecules and replaces them with good, healthy smelling molecules.

Fragrance lamp usage in Europe is wide spread. The phenomenon of fragrance lamps only recently begun in the United States.
The popularity of the fragrance lamp market in the US has increased significantly since 2000 as evidenced by the dramatic increase in manufacturers.
