How does a fragrance lamp work?

1 Answer
How does a fragrance lamp work?
Fragrance lamps work by using a catalytic combustion wick. To make the lamp work, one needs to fill the lamp with a fragrance liquid of choice and ignite the stone burner that sits at the mouth of the lamp. Once heated, you can use decorative caps available to let the fragrance spread in the room.
