Man has always loved fragrances and ranging from flowers and perfumes, scented candles and incense sticks, he has sought ways to put in fragrance in his home and his surroundings. A fragrant room exudes calmness and purity relieving one of the stresses that he might have gone through the day. With the introduction of fragrance lamps this quest has been fulfilled. Fragrance lamps are becoming an essential part of the interior designing of homes simply for the reason that they provided an aesthetic and purified appeal to the home and they score better when compared to other methods of fragrance generation.

Fragrance lamps are also known by the name of catalytic lamps mainly because this is the technique used in the working of the fragrance lamps. These catalytic lamps not just eliminate all sorts of household odors but also impart fragrance while purifying the air.
