Adding Fragrance To Paraffin Lamp Oil: A Simple Guide

It is possible to add fragrance to paraffin lamp oil. The process involves adding a minimal amount of scented oil, such as a few drops, to the paraffin lamp oil. This can be done with essential oils or ethanol-based fragrance oils. Some people also add rosemary fragrance to their lamp oil by cutting 3 cups of rosemary during the early to mid-morning hours when the fragrance is most intense.

You can add a few drops of scented oil to paraffin lamp oil

You can add a few drops of rosemary oil to your paraffin lamp oil, for example. To make this, cut three cups of rosemary during the early to mid-morning hours, as this is when the fragrance is most intense. You can also add a few drops of essential oils to your paraffin lamp oil, such as base, middle and top notes.

If you are using a sealed container with a wick, be aware that this may not be very effective at diffusing a fragrance, as the majority of the aroma from a lit candle comes from the melting wax pool, not from the combustion in the wick.

You can use rosemary to add fragrance to lamp oil

Add 1/2 a cup of sweet, cold-pressed almond oil to one of the mason jars. Put the rosemary in the jar and seal it tightly. Shake the jar to blend and further bruise the rosemary. After two weeks, strain the oil through a cheesecloth into an unused mason jar to remove the rosemary pieces. Throw away the strained rosemary.

Finally, store the rosemary-scented oil in dark bottles to prevent light from impacting the strength of the aroma and the shelf life. When you are ready to use it, add about 15 to 30 drops of the rosemary-scented oil to the unscented lamp oil. The amount of rosemary oil you add should be based on your preference, with more drops offering a stronger aroma.
