Is it better to use fragrance oils or essential oils for an oil burner (ya know the ones where ya put the tea lights underneath and it heats the oil)

I just picked up a bunch of crystals and geodes from the flea market based on my birth sign and the feng shui style and stuff... got my apartment almost totally set up... but i want to get an oil burner to give it some ambiance...

Ive got some Nag Champa incense (I looooove them...)

and can your reccommend any good oil scents for a saggitarius (yeahh recently got into the whole astrology-feng shui coordination too)

??
 
Whether it's EO or FO you'll need to watch your flash point. It has been my experience that EO's smoke pretty bad. I had to change to an electric oil warmer. Works wonderful.
 
*waves hand* Sag here! :D I'd love to hear what Pepper suggests!

I got a pound of DPG from a friend and I've been mixing a 50/50 with Fo's and Eo's. Burns great with no smoke.

I also got 2000 unscented incense cones...*hi jack* anyone know what to do with those??

Thanks Lane! I have DPG. I have used water (evaporates in no time) and oils to mix my scents in for an oil burner. Neither with real satifactory results.

New thing - astrological scents. What do you say Pepper? How about for us Virgos?

I know Sag's are spicy, sweet, and rich... something like cloves, orange, bergamot...

And I know Virgo's are earthy.. sandalwood, sage. That reminds me, I smelled a *wonderful* Virgo cande once, sage and wintergreen.

Place them in a bag, mist the heck out of them w/ your 50/50 DPG & fo blend, shake well, allow to dry & you are done.

Di-Propylene Glycol... It is what they "water" down FOs and EOs with. :)

Sweet! Thanks! Can I do that with EO? Or is it best to stick with FO?
