A classic Lampe Berger consists of a liquid reservoir and a special ceramic catalytic burner. The burner is lit first to reach the correct temperature. Then the flame is extinguished, and the catalytic action remains active. The liquid evaporates, and the fragrances are dispersed into the room.

That principle is an important part of the brand's identity: not simply burning perfume, but dispersing perfume via catalysis.
