Safety fragrance burners

Safety warning fragrance burners:

To ensure your burner remains safe and you get the most out of it, I'd like to point out a few important points.

🌟 Please note: Most fragrance burners are only suitable for tea lights with a burn time of 4 hours. If you use tea lights with a longer burn time (such as 6 or 8 hours), the burner may become too hot. This can lead to several risks, such as:

  • Burner overheating : Cracks or fissures may occur.
  • Glass can break : For burners with glass parts, the glass can suddenly break or shatter due to the intense heat.
  • Fire hazard : Excessive heat may cause the flame to become too large and dangerous.
  • Reduced effectiveness of wax melts : Wax melts can melt too quickly, making the scent too intense and shortening the burning time.
  • Carbon build-up or soot deposits : With prolonged use, soot may form and accumulate on the burner, wax melt or surrounding surfaces.
  • Discoloration or deformation of the burner : The fragrance burner may discolor, deform or fade due to high heat, especially with ceramic or plastic burners.

🔒 How do you stay safe?

  • Always use tea lights with a maximum lifespan of 4 hours.
  • Always remove the lid from the burner during use to allow the heat to escape.
  • Never leave the burner unattended when it is on.
  • Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep flammable materials away: ensure the burner is kept away from curtains, furniture and other flammable objects.
  • Use only the recommended amount of wax: too much wax can overflow and become dangerous when it melts.
  • Allow the burner to cool completely before lighting a new tea light to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid drafty locations: do not place the burner near an open window or fan, so that the flame remains stable.


If you have any questions or are unsure about which tea light is best for you, please let us know. Safety always comes first, so you can enjoy wonderful scents in your home with peace of mind!
