Ceramic scent bowl and method for heating a scent bowl

1. A system for scenting the air in a room with scent from a scent bowl comprises:

a scent bowl warmer configured to generate heat at a first temperature;

a scent bowl detachable and separate from the scent bowl warmer, the scent bowl comprising:

a base comprising an external concave base surface and at least one sidewall extending from the base, the external concave base surface defining a pocket in the base surface of the scent bowl where air heated by the scent bowl warmer is trapped and provides a consistent temperature to the scent bowl; and

a scent emitter therein, the scent emitter having a fragrance and a fragrance evaporation point equal at which the fragrance evaporates;

wherein the first temperature is high enough to evaporate at least a portion of the fragrance from the scent emitter in the bowl in less than three hours.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall tapers outwardly.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein a majority of the base and the at least one sidewall is formed of a ceramic material.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the ceramic material comprises porcelain.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the base of the bowl further comprises an internal flat base surface.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the bowl has a thickness of about 1.5 to about 2.5 millimeters.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first temperature is set so that it is no greater than 230° Fahrenheit.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the fragrance evaporation point is approximately 175° Fahrenheit.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the scent emitter comprises one of scented oil and scented wax.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein an upper edge of the at least one sidewall comprises a lip that forms a top edge of the bowl, the lip configured to allow a user to pick up the bowl without touching the scent bowl warmer.

11. A scent bowl for use with a scent bowl warmer device comprising:

a base sized to rest on a heating surface of the scent bowl warmer device and comprising an external concave base surface and an internal flat base surface, wherein the external concave base surface defines a pocket where air heated by the scent bowl warmer is trapped; and

at least one sidewall extending from the base;

wherein a majority of the base and the at least one sidewall is formed of a ceramic material.

12. The scent bowl of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sidewall tapers outwardly.

13. The scent bowl of claim 11 , wherein the ceramic material comprises porcelain.

14. The scent bowl of claim 13 , wherein the bowl has a thickness of about 1.5 to about 2.5 millimeters.

15. The scent bowl of claim 1 , wherein an upper edge of the at least one sidewall comprises a lip that forms a top edge of the bowl and is configured to allow a user to pick up the bowl.

16. A scent bowl for use with a scent bowl warmer device, comprising:

a base sized to rest on a heating surface of the scent bowl warmer device and comprising an external base surface and an internal base surface, wherein the external base surface defines a pocket where air heated by the scent bowl warmer is trapped between the external base surface and the scent bowl warmer; and

at least one sidewall extending from the base;

wherein a majority of the base and the at least one sidewall is formed of a ceramic material.

17. The scent bowl of claim 16 , wherein the at least one sidewall tapers outwardly.

18. The scent bowl of claim 17 , wherein the ceramic material comprises porcelain.

19. The scent bowl of claim 18 , wherein the scent bowl base surface has a minimum thickness of about 1.5 to about 2.5 millimeters.
