Many years ago I bought a version of this and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for your ible, I'm sure I'll have a go at It.

Can a scented oil be used? Like for aromatherapy?

Yes, I think... good idea!

There's a traditional Indian Light that works in a similar way, I made one when I was a kid. They use "Ghee" (clarified butter) as the fuel, I used sunflower oil, but I recently learned that OLIVE OIL is considered safest for such things. I'm told that Olive Oil can only support the flame due to the evaporative action of the wick, so that if it get's knocked over there's less chance of burning oil running in all directions. I also put a little hint of colour in the water, just for fun. I used metal foil to support the wick, plastic foil isn't so easily obtainable here, but the principle is exactly the same.
