Why choose solid oak?

Our premium choice. A solid oak base with natural grain and a substantial feel. Hand cut and assembled in Cornwall.

Every finish uses the same candle-and-flask method. The difference is the material and appearance.
Craftsmanship & dimensions

Hand cut, prepared and assembled in Cornwall. Natural variations in grain and the patina of the metal give every burner its own character. Approximate dimensions: W20cm × D12cm × H26cm.

How your burner works

Add water and fragrance oil to the glass flask, following the supplied instructions. Light the tealight beneath it. As the water gently warms, it releases fragrance into your space. Allow time for the water to warm; fragrance is not released immediately.

Which oil is included?

Your 10ml starter fragrance is selected from available scents when we pack your order. If you have a favourite, you can add it separately.

Delivery, care & safety

Royal Mail Tracked 48. Free UK delivery on orders £70+ after discounts. Standard delivery is £4 for orders from £25 to £69.99; see our delivery policy for smaller orders. Use on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep away from children and pets, and allow the burner to cool before handling. Follow all instructions supplied.

Ash and Kat working in the Abel workshop in Cornwall

A CORNISH FAMILY BUSINESS

Made by our family in Cornwall.

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, with a small team and a love of thoughtful design. From that first burner in our home to a little ritual in yours, we’re so glad you’re here.

MAKE THE RITUAL YOUR OWN

Find your perfect fragrance.

Every standard burner includes a 10ml fragrance selected by us. If you’d like to choose another, these are lovely places to begin.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you settle in.

Does it come with everything I need?

Yes. Every standard burner includes the stand and base, a glass flask, a 10ml fragrance oil selected by us and two soy tealights. Just add water and follow the instructions in your box.

Will I smell the fragrance straight away?

The candle needs time to gently warm the water before the fragrance begins to diffuse. Allow the ritual to unfold rather than expecting an instant burst of mist.

Do the different finishes work differently?

The standard burners use the same tealight-and-flask method. Choose the wood and metal finish you enjoy looking at; the difference is in the materials and appearance.

Can I change the fragrance?

Yes. Once the burner is extinguished and completely cool, clean the flask according to the care instructions before preparing your next scent.

Can I replace the glass flask?

Replacement Abel glass flasks are available separately, so you can keep enjoying your burner if the glass needs replacing.

Poor quality for the price

The item was bought as a Christmas present and is a really interesting item to have on display and to use. However, when considering the price and then the quality of the item it just doesn't work.
The walnut wood does look beautiful, however there is a small section that looks to have broken away (possibly during the cutting of the piece) which always catches your eye when you look at it. There's also several scratches on the bottom of it (not too bad as you don't see it - but for £75 I don't expect this). The copper piping looks good with the walnut wood but again has several scratches and 'black spots' on sections which there shouldn't be for the price paid. I appreciate that pieces are individual and unique but when you look at something that is relatively expensive and would put it back due to the condition it's in I don't accept 'individuality' as a reason for poor quality.
Another weird thing was the delivery - it was packed in a box full of packing chips (those things that look like wotsits) which surprised me as it wasn't exactly secured from being bashed, and wasn't sent as a tracked delivery, just 'signed for' which when the order was almost £130 I'd have expected tracking as standard and better packaging of an expensive item of wood and glass that is at the mercy of a delivery company.

Weird and wonderful

What a wonderful item you guys have made. I love weird and wonderful things and this is just that. And it works really well! I absolutely love my burner. Just 4-5 drops of oil fills my room with a beautiful smell and I relax instantaneously. It looks the part as well. Everyone I’ve had in the house so far has commented on how lovely it looks in my living space. Worth every penny and more. Well done guys. Also, their after sales service is fantastic, my flask arrived slightly chipped and just one email to their customer service team sorted that issue out for me and they sent me another flask out in the post straight away. I would highly recommend Abel and their products.

Good while it lasted

I mean it did smell fantastic when I first got it, but the screw holding the clip for the glass bottle was sitting a little proud and when I went to clip the glass back the clip snapped the glass back in to place but pushed it against the screw and broke the glass.so now it’s unusable, gutted really as I had just bought some new scents, so just thrown it in the bin.

Loved it so much, I bought another!

Got one of these as a gift a year ago. Everyone comments on it. Easy to maintain and scent lasts ages. Just bought one for another room - this time the one with the walnut base and Santa Monica oil… perfect for the summer. Great customer service.
