In a local market selling small commodities near the Zhengzhou railway station, fashionable fragrance lamps are catching customers' eyes.
The lamps have been especially well-received among young people, the Zhengzhou Daily reported.
In the lamps, the essential oil gives off the scent of the plant from which it is obtained, such as rose and lavender.
The fragrance creates a pleasant aroma. Just one or two drops of essential oil can maintain the scent for several hours, according to one shopkeeper.
The fragrance lamps sell for ten to one hundred yuan.
