How to use?

Benjoin du Laos is best used in a mixture with other resins. To release the fragrance, it should be heated in an aroma lamp or burned on glowing coal.

In aroma diffuser / aroma lamp (see image):

Fill the bowl to 2/3 with sand. Light the candle and place your resin mixture on the sand. For a softer emission, you can replace the sand with water and make sure to refill before it evaporates completely, so the mixture doesn't burn.

The fragrance is released after a few minutes, when the sand or water reaches a warmer temperature.
