Broadening from just skincare products, its first physical design piece is in the form of a [solid brass oil burner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-incense-burner) to accompany its [fourth oil burner blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asop-aurner). The Béatrice oil blend evokes notes of woody and citrusy scents along with its signature Patchouli and Cedar Atlas smells. The brass burner is designed with Studio Henry Wilson, who has been a partner of the skincare label for some time now. To create the piece, the duo used an old traditional technique that blends together wax molds to cast metal design objects. This unique process was selected in order to give each piece its own sense of individuality through its respective brass patina. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Solid Brass Design:** The trend of incorporating solid brass design elements into products like oil burners presents opportunities for innovative and luxurious home décor. - **Expansion Beyond Core Products:** The trend of skincare labels expanding into physical design pieces opens up avenues for diversification and reaching new consumer markets. - **Traditional Wax Molding:** The trend of utilizing traditional wax molding techniques for casting metal design objects offers opportunities to create unique and individually crafted products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Décor:** The home décor industry can leverage the trend of solid brass design elements to create elegant and sophisticated products for interior decoration. - **Skincare:** The skincare industry can explore the trend of expanding into physical design pieces to enhance brand identity and tap into new customer segments. - **Artisanal Crafts:** The artisanal crafts industry can leverage the trend of traditional wax molding techniques to create handcrafted, one-of-a-kind metal design objects with unique patinas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ceremonial Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-brass.md) - [Artfully Sculptural Incense Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aw030001na.md) - [Cylinder-Shaped Stone Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cote-and-ciel.md) - [Luxe Candle-Melting Lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna-20.md) - [Dynamic Glass Incense Burners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palo-santo-burner.md) - [Artful Heated Candle Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna.md) - [Artful Aromatic Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-diffuser.md) - [Modern Incense Burner Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-incense-burner.md) - [Bonfire Wooden Diffuser Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-de-camp.md)
