Lampe Berger: Fragrance Diffusion Explained

Lampe Berger fragrance bottles are a unique system that diffuses a range of high-end fragrances while removing existing odours from the air. The bottles contain pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, which, when burned, eradicates bad smells and bacteria. The heat emitted attracts the malodorous molecules and neutralises them. The bottles are filled 2/3 full with Lampe Berger fragrance oil and the wick is inserted firmly into the lamp. After 20 minutes, the wick will have soaked up the oil and the lamp can be lit. After two minutes, the flame is blown out and the vented cap is put on the lamp. The lamp is now working and there is no smoke or flame.

How to fill a Lampe Berger fragrance bottle

To fill a Lampe Berger fragrance bottle, you should fill the lamp 2/3 full with Lampe Berger fragrance oil. The company recommends only using the oils they have created specifically for their lamps. The bottle comes with a small funnel to make filling it easier.

Next, insert the wick firmly into the lamp, pressing down on the metal ring. If the wick is completely dry, let the lamp sit with the cap on for 20 minutes so the wick can soak up the oil.

If you are changing fragrance, it's worth noting that the old scent will still be in the wick and will contaminate the new fragrance you add. Floral and citrus fragrances typically transition well from one scent to another, and the blend can sometimes be more enjoyable than the singular scent.

After 20 minutes, light the Lampe Berger wick burner. The flame will be large, but there should be no smoke or soot. After two minutes, blow out the flame and put the vented cap on the lamp. The lamp is now working, and you will know this if you feel a little heat coming off the top of the lamp and can smell the fragrance in the air.
