i want it to have scent.. i was adviced not to put perfume, but fragrance oil?..can I?…or essential oil?..
please help me..thanks..
Sure.
Oil and Oil go together.
It won’t mess up the paint.
Although I don’t know why you want your paintings to have a smell and peoples noses sniffing it.
Sage oil can have a sedative effect in high doses, so it’s important to check with an aromatherapist before attempting to make sage oil. Infuse the scent of sage into vegetable oil in a dark bottle with help from the creator of a line of aromatherapy products in this free video on making sage oil.

OK, so I bought this bottle of regular lamp oil. Lit some of our lamps in the house and noticed this supposedly odorless oil did give enough of a hint of kerosene, or whatever the odor is, that made it just a little unpleasant. Had to light some scented candles to try removing the odor. My question is, starting with an existing supply of lamp oil, is there some way I can add a fragrance to it that will help diminish the oily/kerosene smell?
This particular site has scents that can be added to lamp oils. http://www.naturesflavors.com/default.php?cPath=88
If Your Lamp oil contains iso propyl alcohol, you can try this
You need to use IPA at least 90% anything lower doesn’t work.
Then you need to obtain either a Fragrance oil or essential oil, uncut, 100% pure.
The Alcohol can be purchased at Walmart, Walgreens , CVS, ect.
To the 16 oz. bottle of alcohol add 1&1/2 teaspoon of the oil, scent of your choice. Fill lamp 2/3 and you are ready to go.
Or try this
16 ounces 91% isopropyl alcohol
1/8 ounce DISTILLED water
1/4 ounce ESSENTIAL oil
You will find 91% isopropyl alcohol right next to the rubbing alcohol, which is 70%, at your local pharmacy or grocery store. The cost is about $1.25.
Be sure to use DISTILLED water, not from the faucet. I bought a whole gallon for 65 cents.
ESSENTIAL oil is best. I’m experimenting with fragrance oils, but so far, essential oil is the best. Essential oil can be hard to find and kind of expensive, but you will get 4-16 ounce bottles of fuel from one small bottle of oil. I can make my oil for less than $2 per 16 ounces. Beats the heck out of $10-15.
I pour the water and essential oil directly into the alcohol bottle, shake it up and it’s ready to use.
I do suggest that you label the bottle.
I’ve seen a lot of recipes that do not include the distilled water, but your lamp will burn cleaner with it.
I’m specifically thinking of the Body Shop products, but general answers will be fine too =) Any thoughts?
If the oil is for home fragrance rather than for the body, then it probably isn’t body safe. So, what could happen is that it would irritate your skin and give it an annoying burning sensation. It’s not recommended to treat fragrance oil as perfume unless it’s specifically stated that it’s body oil.
Recipe:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup powdered citric acid
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cups Epsom salt, divided
1 tsp buttercream fragrance oil
1 tsp warm vanilla sugar fragrance oil
1 tbsp olive oil
multicolored sprinkles (optional)
Directions: Mix the baking soda, cornstarch, citric acid and 1/4 cup Epsom salt in a plastic bowl. Create a well in the center of the mixture and add fragrance oils and olive oil. Mix into dry ingredients until mixture looks fluffy and well-blended. Add remaining Epsom salt and sprinkles and mix until homogenous. Store in an airtight container such as a jar or Ziploc bag.

Note: Some people have skin allergies to cornstarch. I have never had a problem, but please use at your discretion. You can easily substitute extra Epsom salt in for the cornstarch if you have this problem.
FTC: I purchased everything used in this video with my own money.

*You can warm it in a tart warmer (either candle or electric kinds)
*You can add a few drops to a pan of oil and simmer on the stove
*refresh potpourri
*place a few drops on a cloth, place the cloth inside a jar, punch holes in the jar lid and place it inside your closet (a DIY sachet). This is a really nice way to freshen your linen closet.
*I love the smell of eucalyptus and will add a few drops to a bucket of hot water and mop with it or wipe down the bathroom with eucalyptus water.

Anyone use this method and if so, do you find that the ring falls off at the slightest movement spilling oil everywhere? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your input!
Nope, I thought they were such a great idea, so I bought them for all of the lamps in my bedroom, livingroom and family room. You aren’t doing anything wrong, I had exactly the same thing happen. At first, I couldn’t figure out where all of the oil was coming from. But, then I realized every time my housekeeper came and dusted the tables those lamps were situated on, the oil went everywhere.
You can get these felt and terra cotta diffusers which work sort of the same way without the mess. You soak them in the oil for awhile, blot on newspaper or paper towel to remove the drips, place it on the lightbulb and every time you turn on the light you smell the scent. I prefer the felt ones because I have two rambuncuous doggies and a vigorous housekeeper and have had the terra cotta ones fall and break. I’ve found the felt ones at the home improvement stores and the bed/bath stores (Linen N Things, Bed Bath & Beyond).
