oil on lightbulb

[Immi666]

someone told me you can dab essential oil on a lightbulb and when it heats up it makes the room smell nice.  do u think this wud work with oil burner oils?

I don't know if if i'd want to put any liquid onto a lightbulb...they get extremely hot and it could possibly crack the bulb. You can buy small ceramic rings wich fit on a lightbuld with a small "moat" that you can fill with oil/water. Only a few quid at most craft shops.

I don't think I would put any liquid on or near a lightbulb. 
I don't know whether you have central heating - I do but I don't like any form of artificial heat but it's better than wearing a coat indoors!  I put a few drops of scented oil, in my case sandalwood, on a piece of cotton wool & poke it into the hollows at the back of the radiators - makes the room smell lovely!
