Abstract
There is provided an apparatus and method for removing odors from the air. The apparatus has a base with a candle mounted thereon and a container open at two ends located above the candle. The container houses activated charcoal. The candle causes the odor filled air to move through the container and thus through the activated charcoal by the chimney effect. Odors are removed from the air by the combustion of the candle, and by the activated charcoal and odors may also be masked by the scent of the candle.
