TeaDidikai I haven't met a pagan who didn't like to light things on fire. Most commonly candles, parchment and incense. So, the question at hand is this: Do you use fire in your practice? If so, candles, incense or something else? When I use candles, I most often use chime candles. They're readily available in just about any color I care to think of. They're within my budget and I have some of the most adorable holders for them.
I don't actually use fire in my practice, although boy oh boy do I love using fire in general. The operative problem is that out of the Aspects and Essences I work with, only one is even close to fire conceptually (Star/Radiance) and that's really a different kind of "fire" than we get on Earth outside of a nuclear reactor or a nuke bomb.
I prolly could use candles or flame of some kind to solidify the connection more, but until I actually get some closer Essences to that zone (I'll likely not work with the Fire Aspect, too chaotic for me) I don't have much use for the burinating in my practice.

Bastemhet Aino Ailill How does one burn oils? I've never burned much of anything other than matches, firewood, candles, and the occasional bit of food, but my mom just bought me some oils as a gift - more so as a perfume than to burn, but as it is pure oil, it ought to work for that, too, oughtn't it? You'll need an oil burner for it. Oils made for perfume I'm not sure are safe to burn. If by pure you mean essential then it's fine to burn them, but if you want to wear an essential oil you'll need to put it in a carrier oil. http://www.aromaweb.com/essentialoils/carrieroils.asp
By pure, I was referring to the '100% Pure Oil' that it typed on the label. It says that it is a fragrance oil, not an essential oil.
Oh, finally found the producer's website. Works a lot better when using the correct name. sweatdrop Apparently it isn't a perfume oil. Would that mean that it is unsafe or otherwise unsuited to use as a perfume?

Well...I'm guessing by pure they mean essential oil instead of manufactured fragrance. Essential oil is not safe to apply directly on the skin without a carrier oil because it can cause irritation. I think the link I gave you shows how much essential oil you can add to a carrier oil for safe wear. If anything I'd try putting it on a small patch of skin to test it. I've heard that the scent lasts longer for essential oils if you wear a carrier oil, though.
