The Perfect Fragrance Oil-Lamp Oil Ratio For A Soothing Aroma

Adding fragrance to lamp oil is a great way to fill your home with a pleasant aroma. You can use essential oils, such as sandalwood, or synthetic fragrance oils, to create a custom scent for your lamp. The amount of fragrance oil to add depends on the desired strength of the scent. It's recommended to start with a small batch and add more oil gradually until the desired scent is achieved.

When adding essential oils like sandalwood, rosemary, or rose to your lamp oil, always start with a small batch. Since oils differ, blend up to five drops of your chosen essential oil with the lamp oil. Stir the oil until it's homogenous, then pour it into the lamp. Once the lamp is lit, wait for around twenty minutes to assess the scent. If you feel it can be stronger, double the number of drops once the lamp has cooled down. Keep in mind that the fuel in the wick will be from the previous batch.

If you're making your own scented lamp oil from rosemary, cut 3 cups of rosemary during the early to mid-morning hours when the fragrance is most intense. Make sure no pesticides have been used on the leaves. If you can't ascertain this, purchase the rosemary from a local organic florist or garden shop.

You can also use synthetic candle fragrance oils with 91% alcohol. Start by adding 1/4 teaspoon of fragrance oil to a 16 oz bottle of alcohol. Do a test burn using a new wick and stone or wick and burner assembly in your lamp. If you're happy with the scent, you're done! If you want a stronger scent, pour the fuel back into the bottle and add another 1/4 teaspoon of fragrance oil for a maximum of 1/2 teaspoon. Then, do another test burn in your lamp with the stronger fuel.
