How to Make Lampe Berger Oil

While a Lampe Berger can be a great way to apply fragrance to your air, the unfortunate truth is that there are many reasons to be dissatisfied with pre-packaged Lampe Berger oil. Paying a lot of money for brand name oil can definitely be a frustrating experience for many people. In addition to this, official fragrance oils only come in so many types, leaving people who want custom scents with limited options. However, making your own fragrance oils for your Lampe Berger is an easy project that you can do in almost no time at all. What follows should give you enough information to get started.

Step 1 - Picking a Fragrance

Before you even start to mix your oil, you will need to select your materials. Tracking down isopropyl alcohol is easy enough, as you can find it at any local drug store. Fragrance oil, however, is more open ended. Any essential oil or fragrance oil will work just fine for this project. Because of this, you are free to experiment. If you have a favorite fragrance, you are free to use it. However, there is nothing stopping you from trying out new fragrances for this project.

Step 2 - Mixing the Oil

While exact measurement is not necessary, you will need roughly 16 ounces of isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol normally comes in 16 ounce bottles. If this is the case for you, your task is simple. Get out your eye dropper and use it to pick up some of your fragrance oil. Next, add roughly 10 drops to your bottle of isopropyl alcohol. By doing this, you will get the right proportions of both ingredients. If you want to, you can use multiple fragrance oils of different types to get a custom scent, but do not increase the total number of drops you add.

Once you have done this, close the bottle and check the cap to make sure it is secure. Finally, you can mix the ingredients together by shaking the bottle.

If your isopropyl alcohol did not come in a 16 ounce container, you will need to measure out 16 ounces into a sealable container, and then add the oil in the correct proportion. Again, seal the container and shake it to mix the oil and alcohol.

Step 3 - Using the Oil

You can use this Lampe Berger oil normally with your Lampe Berger, getting the same effects. However, you will be able to pick and choose between any scents you like. At the same time, you will save money.

Step 4 - Storing the Oil

If you are planning to use the oil you have just mixed immediately, you may do so. However, when you are done — or if you are planning to wait before using it — you should pour it into small, separate airtight containers. Any small plastic containers that can be sealed will do, but it is important to not spill your oil. Once you have done this, keep your scented oil in a cool place until you want to use it again.
