Abstract
A fragrance ring includes a fragrance holder and a quantity of liquid scent. The fragrance holder includes a rim portion attached to a top of a body portion to form a fragrance trough. The body portion is received by a chimney retainer of an oil lamp and the body portion receives a glass chimney. The fragrance trough is filled with the liquid scent. An oil lamp flame causes the liquid scent to evaporate and emit a pleasant aroma. In a second embodiment, the fragrance ring includes a snap-on trough ring and a liquid scent. A snap-on area is formed on an inside perimeter of the snap-on trough ring at a bottom thereof. The snap-on trough is snapped on to a top of a chimney retainer to secure the snap-on trough ring thereto. The snap-on trough ring is filled with the liquid scent. The oil lamp flame causes the liquid scent to evaporate and emit a pleasant aroma. In a third embodiment, the fragrance ring includes a trough ring, trough ring retainer, and a solid scent mixture. The trough ring retainer is inserted into the chimney retainer of the oil lamp. The trough ring is inserted into a ring trough formed in the trough ring retainer. The solid scent mixture includes a liquid scent mixed with a candle wax. The oil lamp flame causes the solid scent mixture to melt and evaporate.
