Get Creative: How to Customize Your Fragrances Sophia’s & Scentimental Scents
Posted by The Lamp Stand on Feb 19th 2026
Your home has a personality. Your fragrance should too.
One of the best-kept secrets about catalytic fragrance lamps? You don’t have to stick to just one scent. You can mix, blend, and create a fragrance that feels completely you.
At The Lampstand, two customer favorites, Sophia's Fragrance and Scentimental Scents, make it easy (and fun!) to customize your catalytic fragrance lamp experience.
Let’s explore how.
First—What Makes Fragrance Lamp Oils Special?
Catalytic fragrance lamps are different from candles and diffusers. After briefly lighting the wick to heat the stone, the lamp works flamelessly, using a catalytic reaction to disperse fragrance throughout your space.
Because of this unique process:
- Lamp oils are specially formulated with the proper alcohol base
- They are designed specifically for catalytic lamps
- They provide fast, even fragrance distribution
- They help neutralize unwanted odors
That’s why it’s important to use only lamp-approved oils, like those from Sophia’s Fragrance and Scentimental Scents, when blending.
Now for the fun part…
Yes, You Can Mix Your Fragrance Lamp Oils
One of the most exciting things about catalytic fragrance lamp oils is that they’re blendable — as long as you’re mixing lamp oils with other lamp oils.
Think of it as becoming your own perfumer.
Want something fresh but not too sharp?
Cozy but not too sweet?
Bold but still balanced?
Blending lets you dial it in perfectly.
How to Create Your Signature Scent
Here’s a simple, foolproof way to start:
Step 1: Pick Your “Main Character”
Choose the scent you want to shine the most.
This might be a warm vanilla, crisp linen, bright citrus, or rich amber.
Both Sophia’s Fragrance and Scentimental Scents offer beautifully crafted base scents that perform wonderfully in catalytic lamps.
Step 2: Add a Supporting Note
Now add dimension. Try:
- Floral to soften woodsy scents
- Citrus to brighten warm scents
- Musk or amber to deepen lighter fragrances
Step 3: Start Small
Blend in small amounts first, try a 70/30 or 50/50 ratio in a separate bottle before filling your lamp. Keep notes on combinations you love.
Step 4: Test & Adjust
Run your lamp for 20–30 minutes and see how the scent develops in your space. Want it brighter? Add more top note. Want it warmer? Increase your base.

Need inspiration? Here are a few crowd-pleasers:

Why Blending Works So Well in Catalytic Lamps
Catalytic fragrance lamps are powerful. A short 20–30 minute run can scent a room for hours. That means:
- Your custom blend fills the space quickly
- The scent feels smooth and well-dispersed
- You can change fragrances seasonally without commitment
Spring? Go light and floral.
Fall? Add warmth and spice.
Hosting guests? Create something fresh and welcoming.
It’s fragrance freedom.

A Quick Safety Reminder (Because We Care)
To keep your lamp performing beautifully:
✔ Only blend catalytic fragrance lamp oils
✔ Never add essential oils or diffuser oils
✔ Store blends tightly sealed
✔ Label your custom creations
Blending within the proper product category ensures safe catalytic performance and long-lasting enjoyment.
Additional Safety Tips for Blending
When creating your custom blends, always mix your lamp oils in a chemical-safe container (such as glass or approved plastic). Avoid using decorative cups or containers that aren’t designed for alcohol-based products.
We also recommend using a funnel when transferring oils into your lamp to prevent spills.
Lamp oils contain an alcohol base and can:
✔ Damage wood finishes
✔ Affect painted or sealed surfaces
✔ Be flammable
Because of this, it’s important to mix carefully, avoid spills, and wipe up any drips immediately.
A little care goes a long way in keeping your lamp—and your home—beautiful.
