SO, I usually use candles or tarts but got a great deal on some bottles of oils from Bath and Body works, so I decided to use some in my tart burner..... I just assumed I needed to add a bit of water to my tart burner and then a few drops of the oil...ANYWAYS, I went reading and the bottle doesnt mention anything about adding water, just says to add 20 drops. I got talking to someone and we started looking at other fragrance home oils and 1/2 say to add to water and half doesn't mention anything about water....


Since I'm not a home fragrance oil user normally this is quite confusing...DO you or do you NOT add some water to your tart burner with the oil....Just curious to see what others are doing....

I'm sorry, but I don't have an answer for you on this. I am curious as to what the answer might be though. I usually will have a small candle on the candle warmer and DH will usually walk by and turn it off if he doesn't like the smell of it. I've never used the oils before.

My SIL always uses the oils and I've always seen her use them with water. HTH

I use essential oils and mix them with water (I’d go broke if I didn’t) so assume it would be the same with the blends. I don’t use air freshners and rarely use candles so usually have oils burning – different oils depending on what atmosphere I need. Peppermint for energy, lavender when I want the kids to settle down LOL, etc.

You can also use a few drops on your pillow if you have a calming oil. Or if you have one with peppermint a couple of drops on your temples will help a headache There are a million uses for oils.

I just went to the website and I don't think you add water to these - If you find you like oils I would go with essential oils next time much more concentrated so in the log run cheaper.

I am a vendor for the Yankee Candle Company, we sell fragrance oils and with ours you do not add water.

You can get some good deals on FO compared to the bath and body works oils
online through candle making supply companies
Like 16 oz for 18.00 shipped
or cheaper sometimes

I've done it both ways, and it didn't seem to make a difference in the burning time or the scent either way. And, you can add more than 20 drops to the burner....have you ever seen the one at BBW? That sucker is FULL of oil.....lol
