My New Money Killer : Lampe Berger

[Chasing Embers]

I have tried different scents to get better sleep over the years

Try lavender and vanilla.

I got this years ago, when the apartment across got rented by a couple who favoured stinky cooking:

Cube Value Pack - Lampe Berger | Smokingpipes.com

Lampe Berger's Cube Value Pack conveniently comes with everything needed to disperse pleasant, relaxing aromas.

Mine is blue, though.

Thankfully, those guys lasted less than 6 months and I haven't used the lamp ever since. Still have most of the oil bottle.

I have tried different scents to get better sleep over the years. I usually avoid orange or lemon since it almost always makes me have a nightmare. Not sure why though.

mildly stimulating interferes with deep sleep.

Very interesting piece. A home always has room for more art.

^^^This!

Looks like these are illegal in California.. I guess that means I should buy one. Haha

Lovely pieces, would be a very visually pleasing collection to start!

So, does the bottle do anything different from just being a bottle to hold the fragrance? Just wondering. If not, you might look into antique snuff and opium bottles from China on Ebay. They are beautiful bottles. I know a few people who collect them exclusively.

Yes they have a wick that goes down into the alcohol and a charcoal piece on top ..
You could most likely just use the wick/charcoal on some other type of bottle, but if the glass was heat sensitive you risk it bursting and causing a huge 91% alcohol driven inferno.

I like the base of this one

If it is alcohol, then the glass would just be fine, because of the way alcohol burns. I think I was thinking of those old opium and snuff bottles because these look like them.

So, these aren't like those things with sticks in them that the scent evaporates off? These you actually light on fire?

or Chinese medicine bottles. Which is technically the broader category both snuff and opium bottles fall under. It is amazing how many of those things are still out there in amazing shape and at relatively reasonable prices. I've seen a few really great collections.

Those are beautiful pieces! I really like Lampe Bergeres. And they really work, particlarly if you make your own fluid.

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

I never heard of these, but just ordered one with Lavender oil. Thank you!!??

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

The Lampe Berger arrived. I like it!!. I got the lavender.

 

[jackets]

I need to start making my own fluid. Does anyone have recommendations for scent vendors? These clear out the odor even in an unventilated room for me.

 

[Mr_houston]

We’ve use these with a neutral scent just to rid the house of smells. They work well.

We burned them a lot when my wife got COVID to purify the air - they were developed for hospitals. Don’t know if it worked well, but none of the rest of us got sick.

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

Never liked the wet type. This is a good , ancient technology.

I've been making my own oil for years. I used to get my essential oils from CVS. Don't get fragrance oils, they won't work. I get some ready made lamp oils on line from Courtney's Candles. Huge selection and very fair prices. In fact their fragrance oils are sometimes too strong for me so I dilute them with 91% alcohol so they go even further.
