Fragrance bars are natural aromatherapy products that are usually melted in incense burners to change the atmosphere of the environment. With the right usage techniques, you can have a longer and more effective experience. Here is the step-by-step scent bar usage guide:
- Choosing the Right Incense Burner
Choose a heat-resistant and safe incense burner to use in your fragrance bar. Models made of ceramic or glass will help spread the heat evenly.
- Prepare the Heat Source:
Place a tealight candle in the bottom of your censer. Make sure the wick is not too long and that it burns evenly. This will ensure that your scented candle melts evenly.
- Place the Scent Bar:
Place a piece of scent bar in the top chamber of the censer. Instead of a large piece, you can adjust the intensity of the scent by using smaller pieces.
- Light the Candle and Wait for It to Melt:
Light the candle carefully and wait for the scent bar to melt. The melted scent bar will slowly start to spread its scent into the environment thanks to the heat.
- Prepare the Environment:
Place the incense burner on a flat and safe surface. Make sure the air flow in your room is not too intense so that the scent will last longer.
- Check the Duration:
The scent bar effectively releases its scent for approximately 2-4 hours. For longer periods of use, it is important to turn off the candle and take a break for both safety and longer product life.
- Cleaning After Use:
After the scent bar has completely melted and the candle is extinguished, wait until the chamber has cooled. Carefully remove the cooled and solidified bar and clean the chamber.
- Try Different Scents:
You can change the atmosphere of the environment according to your needs by trying different scent bars. Lavender can be preferred for relaxation, and citrus notes can be preferred for an energetic environment.
Don't forget to pay attention to safety when using your scent bar in the incense burner. Never leave the candle unattended and always extinguish it after use will prevent possible accidents. Now sit back and enjoy the natural scents!
