Escentia Terracotta Oil Burner is a candle-heated oil burner used to diffuse essential oils and naturally fragrance a room. It has a warm, earthy terracotta look, while the oil dish is coated so the oils are not absorbed into the clay during use. This is a traditional tea light style burner, not an electric diffuser, so it works by gently warming water and essential oils above a small flame. A complimentary tea light is included to get you started.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those simple home fragrance pieces that feels both practical and beautiful. We love offering it because it brings a softer, more natural ritual to essential oil use, and the terracotta finish gives it an easy, grounded look that suits almost any space.
