My scent is fragrant, but danger to some
The more I cry, the hotter I become
Used oft only when the flow is severed
Rarely used after it was bettered
What am I?

Are you a
Candle?
My scent is fragrant, but danger to some
Some candles are aromatic, some are infused with insecticide
The more I cry, the hotter I become
A candle starts to drip when the wax becomes hot.
Used oft only when the flow is severed
I. e. when there is a blackout.
Rarely used after it was bettered
After light bulb was invented.
