Wallflowers are popular plug-in air fresheners by Bath and Body Works. They can be refilled with essential oils or fragrance oils. Some popular scents include lavender vanilla, crisp morning air, and berry waffle cone. Wallflowers can be refilled by twisting the refill in a counter-clockwise direction to attach it to the fragrance plug. It is important to note that Wallflowers use heat to diffuse fragrances, so it is not recommended to fill them with a different product as it could become a fire hazard.

What You'll Learn
How to attach a fragrance refill to a plug
To attach a fragrance refill to a plug, you must first purchase a fragrance refill and a fragrance plug. These two items are sold separately.
Once you have both items, you can attach the fragrance refill to the plug by twisting it to the left (in a counter-clockwise direction). This action will attach the refill to the plug. The refill will work with all Wallflowers plugs.
You can then adjust the plug to fit your outlet by twisting the rotating plug. This will allow you to choose between a vertical or horizontal outlet and ensure that your refill remains in an upright position.
If you are looking for a more sustainable or cost-effective option, you can also refill your Wallflowers fragrance bottle with essential oils or fragrance oils of your choice. To do this, you will need to remove the wick from the empty bottle carefully with pliers, as there is a nail in it that can cause injury. You can then fill the bottle with your chosen oil and screw it back into your plugged-in air freshener.

Using essential oils to refill wallflowers
If you're looking to reuse your Wallflower bottles with essential oils, there are a few simple steps to follow. Firstly, you'll need to remove the plastic circle surrounding the wick from the empty bottle using pliers. Be careful, as there is a nail in the wick that can cause injury. Set the wick aside for now.
Next, you can add your chosen essential oil or a mix of oils. Some popular choices include eucalyptus, peppermint, orange, lavender, tea tree, jasmine, patchouli, chamomile, and bergamot. Add about 10 drops of essential oil per bulb, or 0.5 ounces if measuring by weight. You can also add a carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil or sweet almond oil, but be careful not to overfill the bulb.
Once you've added your essential oils, it's time to replace the wick. Push the plastic tip and wick back into the bulb gently until you hear a click. Swirl the bulb gently to mix the oils, and then screw the refilled Wallflower bottle into your plugged-in air freshener.
You can also clean the wick before reusing it. Wash it with hot water and a small amount of household cleaner or hand soap. Rinse, squeeze, and repeat to remove as much of the previous fragrance as possible.
With these steps, you can enjoy your favourite essential oil scents in your Wallflower diffusers while avoiding unnecessary chemicals.

Customising your own scent
Step 1: Prepare the Wallflower Bottle
Start by removing the plastic circle surrounding the wick from the empty Wallflower bottle using pliers. Be careful when handling the wick, as it has a nail that can be sharp. You can choose to clean the bottle before refilling it if you prefer.
Step 2: Choose Your Ingredients
For your fragrance, you can use essential oils, phthalate-free fragrance oils, or a combination of both. Select scents that you enjoy and that complement each other. If you're feeling creative, you can even experiment with different combinations of oils to create a unique scent.
Step 3: Measure and Mix Your Fragrance
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 0.5 ounces of your chosen essential or fragrance oil. Pour it into the Wallflower bottle. The oil and alcohol will separate, which is normal. You can also add a small amount of rubbing alcohol to the bottle; this acts as a solvent and diluting agent for the oil.
Step 4: Refill and Reuse
Once you have added your fragrance and any additional ingredients, screw the refilled Wallflower bottle into your plugged-in air freshener. Enjoy your customised scent as it diffuses throughout your home!
Customising your Wallflower scent allows you to be creative and explore different fragrance combinations. You can also feel confident knowing that you are using safe and natural ingredients to create a fresh and healthy environment for your family.

Refilling wallflowers with fragrance oils
Wallflowers are popular plug-in air fresheners. They can be refilled with essential oils or fragrance oils. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to refill Wallflowers with fragrance oils:
Step 1: Remove the Wick
Using pliers, carefully lift the plastic circle surrounding the wick from the empty Wallflower bottle. Set the wick aside, being mindful of the nail that can cause pokes.
Step 2: Prepare the Refill
For fragrance oils, you can use a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil, or another unscented oil without a strong smell. Measure 0.5 ounces of your chosen carrier oil and fragrance oil. Combine them in the Wallflower bottle. The ingredients will separate, which is normal.
Step 3: Clean the Wick (Optional)
If desired, you can clean the wick before reusing it. Use hot water and a small amount of Thieves household cleaner or hand soap. Rinse, squeeze, and repeat the process several times to remove as much of the previous fragrance as possible. Be cautious of the tiny pin inside the wick to avoid accidental pokes.
Step 4: Reassemble and Plug In
Once your refill is ready, carefully screw the refilled Wallflower bottle into your plugged-in air freshener. Gently swirl the bulb to mix the oils, and you're done!
Always read the instructions on the original Wallflower packaging regarding fire safety and keep the refilled Wallflowers out of reach of children. Enjoy your customised fragrance!

Using a carrier oil to refill wallflowers
To refill wallflowers with a carrier oil, you will need a carrier oil of your choice, such as fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil, or another carrier oil without a strong smell. You will also need a wallflower refill bottle, a screwdriver or pliers, and your chosen essential oil or fragrance oil.
First, remove the wallflower from its outlet. You can use a screwdriver or pliers to gently loosen the wick and plastic covering. Lift the plastic circle surrounding the wick carefully with the pliers or a screwdriver, as there is a nail in it that can cause injury. Pull out the wick, but do not remove it from the plastic part—it needs to remain attached.
Next, rinse the wick under hot water to clean it, squeezing it to ensure you get as much of the old fragrance out as possible. Be cautious of the small pin inside the wick when squeezing.
Now, you can fill the bulb with your chosen carrier oil. Ensure you do not fill it to the brim, leaving some space for your chosen fragrance or essential oil. Add about 10 drops of your chosen essential oil into the bulb.
Finally, place the wick and plastic tip back into the bottle, pushing it firmly until you hear a click. Screw the refilled wallflower bottle into your plugged-in air freshener.
Note that some carrier oils, such as coconut oil, may be too thick for the wick to absorb effectively, so you may need to experiment with different carrier oils to find the best results.
