How do you make Fragrance Fuel for Fragrance Lamps?

Posted by admin
Rebecca asked:


I got 2 of them for Christmas and would like to know how to make my own fuel. I tried one recipe already but now I am having trouble keeping the wick burning. The recipe I used was 16 FL OZ. of 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and .3 OZ Fragrance Oil. I bought the oil at Walmart because I had read that some do use it. It is called potpourri refresher oil and comes in a very small vial. I would love to be able to make my own because the fuel is so expensive to buy. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

      It is difficult to make your own. Try 100% alcohol with two drops of Chanel No.5 perfum. This could work. Good luck!
