# Mexican Cuisine Candles The Burrito Scented Candle Will Have you Dreaming of Lunchtime By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2014-11-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burrito-scented-candle References: [thegreenhead](http://www.thegreenhead.com/2014/11/burrito-scented-candle.php) & [thegreenhead](http://www.thegreenhead.com/link/burrito-scented-candle) While the idea of a [candle that smells like food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mornings-at-levain-candle) seems a bit outlandish considering most people use them as a source of light or to mask the smell of cooking, the Burrito Scented Candle will have you ready to eat in no time. Featuring the distinct notes of spicy ground beef, cumin, cayenne pepper, cilantro, guacamole and onion, the Burrito Scented Candle is sure to leave some curious and others grossed out. Coming directly from none other than The [Stinky Candle Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-sheets), the Burrito Scented Candle is likely to be just that when light in your home; a bit stinky, but a whole lot of deliciousness when you're considering where to go for dinner. Be sure to use caution as the Burrito Scented Candle does not taste like it smells (someone had to learn the hard way). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food-inspired Candles:** Opportunity to create a range of candles that mimic the scents of popular foods, tapping into consumers' love for unique and nostalgic aromas. - **Multi-sensory Marketing:** Potential for businesses to enhance customer experiences by incorporating scents into their marketing strategies, allowing customers to engage with products on a more immersive level. - **Unconventional Candle Scents:** Room for innovation in the candle industry by producing unexpected scents like burritos, appealing to niche markets and creating buzz. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Fragrance Industry:** Disruptive opportunity to introduce unique and unconventional scents, expanding the range of offerings in the market and attracting consumers seeking novel experiences. - **Restaurant Industry:** Innovation potential for restaurants to use scented candles as a marketing tool to create a sensory connection between their cuisine and the customers' dining experience. - **Gift Industry:** Opening for gift shop owners to offer novelty candles, like the Burrito Scented Candle, as quirky and humorous gifts, catering to consumers looking for fun and unusual presents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fast Food-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-apotheke.md) - [Fried Chicken-Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-of-chicken-candle.md) - [Pasta Preparation Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasta-water-candle.md) - [Brunch Cocktail-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunch-gossip.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Mexican Aromatherapy Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santu-beauty-candles.md) - [Soup-Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soup-scented-candles.md) - [Food-Inspired Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodinspired-candle.md) - [Cheeky Pickle-Themed Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-pickles-candle.md)
