I've always liked Lampe Berger fragrance lamps since my former MIL bought me one as a Christmas gift years ago. I think they're classier and provide a more subtle fragrance than an oil or wax burner does and they're cleaner burning than candles.
The glass onyx lamp is pretty and understated, so it fits in with just about any decor. I have 3 of them for just that reason.
However, one thing to note is that the "oil" is not really oil it's alcohol based. If you look at the description on the "neutral" fragrance, it's 90% isopropyl alcohol. A bottle of the Lampe Berger branded "oil" is $20, but you can get 90% isopropyl alcohol at any drugstore for around $3 a bottle or less. I buy generic brand alcohol an add a few drops of my own essential oils rather than spend $20-$40 a pop for the branded fragrances. It's just as effective and much less expensive.

I've used the lampe bergers before & been VERY impressed with the purity and strength of the scents. For this reason I'm very disappointed with the lampe I ordered & received here. Shortly after "blowing out" the flame, I'll get a minute to three of muted scent and then... nothing. The ceramic burner is then cool to the touch. It's as though the second phase of burning simply never happens. This is atypical & perhaps I just got a bum burner. I plan to call Amazon on Monday & see how much hassle it is to exchange the burner. The lamp itself is lovely & comparably priced to other simpler Lampe Berger lamps. It's just the burning (& yes it is the L.B. oil) that has been a let down.
