Why Jeju's volcanic stone works as a home fragrance object

 

Jeju Island was built by volcanic eruptions, and its dark, porous scoria shows up in field walls and along the coast. StoneJeju, a maker on the island, puts that same stone into a small vessel and uses its pores to hold fragrance oil, which the stone then releases slowly into the room.

The set comes in two sizes: 350g in a glass vessel (about 75 x 100 x 75 mm) and 500g in Jeju onggi earthenware (about 100 x 105 x 100 mm), each with 10mL of citrus oil. Add 10-12 drops to the upper stones and refresh with a few drops when you want the scent back. No flame, no plug. To change scent, rinse the stones in warm water and let them dry completely.
