Essential oils (the type you put reeds) in will lift a finish the same way, I'm sorry to say. If it's all the way through the finish, you could try blending it in with a repair kit like these: https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wood+repair+kit
It was probably a scented diffuser type oil that did the damage.. I really don't know of any quick easy repair for that damage You may have to redo the whole top..
Minwax Stain Markers and/or Minwax Blend-fil pencils. Come in a variety of wood tones. Available at Hime Depot, Lowes, and Menard's.
Old English has a product that is called Old English, that comes in two stain finishes. Light and dark, you need dark and light. You drop a few drops from the bottle, on the scratch line in the table. Rub it into the scratch until the scratch disappears. The wood will be wet,let it sit for t least 2 hrs, then wipe with paper towel until the paper towel comes up clean, you'll need a few wipes
Use dark for the dark wood, and light for the light wood. Don't spread it too far from the scratch, or it will change the color of the table. Good Luck!
If the spots are smooth; try the meat from a walnut. Just break off a piece of nut and with your thumb, firmly rub the piece of not onto the flaws. This is great for fixing scratches and should work well on a marred finish. It is cheap, simple and does a good job. It s an old woodworkers trick. Good luck.
If the walnut doesn’t work, look for a refinisher by Formsby. It will reliqufy the finish only in the area you apply it so you can work some of the old finish into the bare areas. Use it sparingly so you can spread the dirt in the old finish so it will cover in the right color. A piece of wood furniture darkens with age due to dust settling into the finish, so don’t ever strip it. Even a refinished product will lighten it if you work it too much, so Usa gentle hand.
