Abstract

An aromatic system (20) includes an aromatic member (22) such as a candle which includes a fragrance (25) disposed within wax, and a flameless heat source (24). Aromatic member (22) is disposed in the proximity of heat source (24) so that when heat source (24) is energized it melts the wax and releases fragrance (25). Heat source (24) can be a light or lamp, or alternatively can be a warming device (124) such as a hot plate.

Claims

1. An aromatic system, comprising:

a focused light source having a support;

an aromatic candle having a wick;

said aromatic candle including a fragrance disposed within wax;

a candle support connected to said light source support so as to position the candle in the proximity of said light source; and

,

so that when said light source is energized light and heat from said light source melts said wax and releases said fragrance.

2. An aromatic system according to claim 1, further including:

said light source and said aromatic candle selectively positionable with respect to each other.

3. An aromatic system according to claim 1, further including:

a reflector for focusing light and heat from said light source upon a surface of said aromatic candle.

4. An aromatic system according to claim 1, further including:

said light source having an adjustable intensity.

5. An aromatic system according to claim 1, further including:

said light source being a halogen light.

6. An aromatic system according to claim 5, further including:

said halogen light dissipating about 20 watts of power.

7. An aromatic system according to claim 1, further including:

a reflector for focusing light and heat from said light source upon a surface of said aromatic candle; and

,

said light source being a halogen light which dissipates about 20 watts of power.

8. A method for releasing a fragrance, comprising:

(1) providing an aromatic system including;

a focused light source having a support;

an aromatic candle having a wick;

said aromatic candle including a fragrance disposed within wax;

(2) without lighting said wick, placing said aromatic candle on a candle support which is connected to said light source support so as to position the candle in the proximity of said light source; and

,

(3) so that when said light source is energized light and heat from said light source melts said wax and releases said fragrance.
