How your burner works

Add water and fragrance oil to the glass flask, following the instructions in your box. Light the tealight beneath it. As the water gently warms, it releases fragrance into your space. Give it time to warm — the fragrance is not released immediately. See the three-step photo guide and video.

The warm copper stand and layered plywood base of an Abel burner

Why choose an Abel burner?

A simple ritual.
A beautiful object.

Made by hand, made for your home

A layered ply base, warm copper stand and clear glass flask. Hand cut, prepared and assembled in our Cornish workshop, with natural variations that make each one its own.

Powered by candlelight

No socket, cable or charging. A tealight gently warms the water and oil, bringing fragrance and a soft glow to your evening.

A different scent for a different mood

Choose the fragrance you love, then explore another when you feel like a change. Let the burner cool and clean the flask between scents.

A ritual to return to

Keep your burner and replenish your oils and tealights. Replacement glass flasks are available separately if you ever need one.

At home with the Abel family

Ash and Kat in the Abel workshop in Cornwall

A Cornish family business

From our home
to yours.

We’re Ash & Kat. Welcome to the Abel family.

Our first burner was made for our own home in 2017. In 2020, that simple idea became Abel. Today, we still hand cut, prepare and assemble our burners in our village workshop, alongside our small team.

Thoughtful design, beautiful fragrance and a little ritual to look forward to. That’s what we wanted in our home — and what we make for yours.

Each pairs with your ply & copper diffuser for £67.

A few good questions

Before you settle in.

What is an Abel burner?

A tealight-powered home fragrance burner. The candle warms water and fragrance oil in the glass flask, helping the scent diffuse into your room. It needs no electricity.

Does this bundle come with everything I need?

Yes. This £67 bundle includes the ply and copper burner, glass flask, your chosen 30ml fragrance oil and two soy tealights. Just add water and follow the supplied instructions.

Will I smell the fragrance straight away?

The tealight needs time to warm the water before the fragrance begins to diffuse. It is a gradual, candle-powered ritual rather than an instant burst of mist.

Can I change my fragrance?

Yes. Extinguish the tealight and allow the burner and water to cool completely. Clean the flask following the care instructions before preparing your next fragrance.

How big is it, and where can I use it?

Approximately W20cm × D12cm × H26cm. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from children, pets and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

What if I break the glass flask?

You can buy a replacement flask separately. Shop replacement Abel flasks.

When will my order arrive?

We dispatch within 2 working days using Royal Mail Tracked 48. Standard UK delivery for this bundle is £4; orders of £70 or more after discounts qualify for free UK delivery. Read the delivery policy.

What if it is not right for me?

You can request a return within 30 days of receiving your order, subject to our policy. Items must be unused and in their original packaging; return postage is your responsibility. Read the full returns policy.

A little ritual. That says welcome home.
