Abstract: A device for use with an oil lamp to allow the diffusion of the scent of a perfume. The device has a circular vessel and a central tubular element extending longitudinally through the center of the vessel. A wick is inserted through the central tubular element. The vessel is closed at the bottom and open at the top, defining a perfume-holding area. In a first and second embodiment, the device also has an outwardly projecting lip along the circumference of the vessel at the top thereof. In a third embodiment, the vessel has a diameter that is greater than the diameter of the opening of the oil lamp, and is provided with a resilient member at the bottom of the central tubular element. In use, a user pours a given amount of perfume in the perfume-holding area. The device is then placed on the lip of the oil lamp and over the opening and the wick is lit. The heat generated by the flame of the wick heats the device, which in turns heats the perfume, thereby releasing a pleasing smell.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for use in an oil lamp to allow the diffusion of the scent of a perfume added to the oil. The oil lamp has an inside and a lip lying in a generally horizontal plane. The device is a ring-shaped element having a plurality of inwardly downwardly protruding tabs that are spaced apart to define gaps therebetween permitting uninterrupted air flow between the inside of the bottle and the ambient air. The tabs have free ends defining an opening and are sized and shaped to receive and hold a wick supporting tube having a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane and an upper end from which a wick projects. The tube is inserted into the opening so that the upper end of the wick supporting tube is held in place at a given longitudinal distance from the lip.
