Applying essential oils directly to wooden candle holders isn’t advisable, as oils can be flammable, and their scent can interfere with the candle’s natural aroma. Additionally, oils can stain untreated wood and may not interact well with certain finishes. If you want a subtle fragrance, consider placing the essential oil on a cotton ball near the candle holder rather than on it. For a decorative scent element, try wood oils designed for candle holders, as these are less likely to pose a fire risk.
