There are many ways to create an elegant and soft atmosphere in your home. You can opt for scented candles, room sprays or even burning oils. These have a richer and longer lasting scent than alcohol-based fragrances. But, what are the right methods to use it effectively ?
Burning oil : how it works ?
The perfume burner, as its name explicitly indicates, is used to burn perfumes or essential oils. This device has been around for thousands of years, but over time it has become more suitable, more aesthetic and also more practical. Indeed, two types of perfume burners are available on the market. However, it should be kept in mind that, whatever the model, it is up to the user to choose the one that suits him.
The incense burner with a candle
The perfume burner with a candle favors the old-fashioned atmosphere, medieval for those who love the subdued atmosphere. It creates a cosy, warm and intimate atmosphere in your home.
The perfume burner lamp
As for the lamp burner, it is more sophisticated, more aesthetic and more modern. It offers several shades of lighting, that is to say that it can go from subdued and soft to sustained according to the desires and desires of each.
Prepare your burner well for optimal use of the burning oil
The preparation of the burner is far from being a complicated task. It’s a few-step process that takes less than 2 minutes for a pleasure that can go on for 30 minutes or more. To begin with, you must obviously make sure that the perfume burner is clean, especially the tank. This avoids mixing the essential oils with dust. Then, simply light the lamp or candle to enjoy the scent released by the oil.
A wide selection of burning oils is available at Côté Bougie. Our perfume concentrates have been specially designed to create a soft and pleasant atmosphere in your home. You can choose between several scents that are able to transport you to exotic places. We can mention among others the fragrances oud, amber, dates, mint & tea and oriental.
Essential burning oil : prefer gentle heat
To use your burning oil effectively, it is wise to use gentle heat. A high temperature can indeed lead to unpleasant surprises such as the modification of the chemical composition of the perfume concentrate. This could then cause the weakening of the virtues that the latter offers. Thus, the oil should neither be burned nor cooled too much, a good dosage of heat is necessary.
A few drops of oil are enough!
It is important to keep in mind that an oil is a fatty and concentrated compound. That’s why a few drops are enough to disperse the aroma in every corner of the room. If you think that adding more drops will cover more surface, then you are wrong. It can even lead to headaches. The reason for this is that in large quantities, the scent of the oil becomes overwhelming. And if ever the effects start to fade, it is recommended to add 1 or 2 drops of the oil.
Our orange blossom and date burning oils are available in bottles of 100 ml. This is more than enough for several hours of wellness moments.
Do not neglect the importance of water
Without water, the smell takes hold quickly, it is more quickly perceptible, but fades just as quickly. It is important to note that this can also assault your olfactory senses. However, if you add a little too much water, it is possible that the evaporation alters the fragrance. It is recommended to dose the quantity of water for a better use of the oil to burn.
Safety first!
As with anything, safety is not to be taken lightly. And in any situation, there are always risks if you are not careful. Since it is necessary to go through a burning stage, it is not recommended to touch the perfume burner directly, but first to let it cool down.
You should also avoid placing the burner on a fragile support that may break under its weight and the pressure of the heat. Varnished surfaces are also not recommended because of the high probability of slipping. A waxed surface could also melt under the effect of temperature.
Precautions to take into account
It is important to note that improper use of fuel oil can be dangerous. The first thing to do is to rule out the possibility of a child ingesting the burning oil. Even if at Côté Bougie, we try to privilege noble and natural materials in the artisanal manufacture of our collections, an absorption can always involve an irritation.
