Would you get the same fragrance by burning something as by melting it?

No. By burning something you are breaking it down and forming new products (smoke, carbon dioxide, etc), and these are different from the original compound. In contrast, when you melt something, some of it is actually vaporized at the same time, and that is what you are smelling. So when you melt it, you smell the molecules of the original compound, whereas when you burn it, you are smelling the compounds that were formed during the burning process. That said, when burning something, you will probably also smell some of the original compound, because usually when something is burning, some of it is also vaporized and not all of it is burned.
