# Personality-Instilled Luminairies Daring, Gracious and Charming Candles Bring Character to a Room By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charming-candle References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2015/3/17/sideshow-press-candle-set) & [stitchdesignco](http://www.stitchdesignco.com/work/) While many candles are labeled by their particular fragrances, these charming candles suggest the assumption of more human qualities. [Stitch Design Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-and-disney) created this set of three luminaries that are decorated with descriptions of personality traits. You'd have your pick of either "Daring with a Touch of Polite Restraint," "Gracious with a Touch of Good Humor" or "Charming with a Touch of Modesty." All rather poised and sophisticated sounding, these different scents are marked with [minimalist typography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-candle-collection) in dark blue, orange or pale teal, coordinating with the colorful gloss inside the ivory enamel pots. These charming candles do feature [high-quality hand-poured soy wax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpoured-candle), yet their primary appeal may be the unconventional aesthetic theme of their textually ornamented candle holders. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Personality-instilled Products:** Creating products that embody human characteristics and personalities can provide a unique and engaging consumer experience. - **Minimalist Typography:** Using minimal and simple typography can create a modern and sophisticated aesthetic for products. - **Unconventional Aesthetic Themes:** Exploring unconventional themes and designs in product aesthetics can capture the attention of consumers seeking unique and innovative products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Incorporating personality traits and unconventional aesthetics into home decor products can enhance the ambiance of living spaces and appeal to design-conscious consumers. - **Fragrance:** Developing fragranced products, such as candles, that embody specific personality traits can create a curated and personalized sensory experience for consumers. - **Art and Design:** Integrating typography and unconventional aesthetics into art and design products can create visually appealing and emotionally engaging pieces that resonate with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Holiday Candle Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-candle-collection.md) - [Affirming Candle Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affirming-candle.md) - [Uplifting Youthful Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friday-collective.md) - [Design-Forward Timeless Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kevin-francis-design.md) - [Self-Leveling Coconut Wax Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlan-fragrances.md) - [Functional Artisanal Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-candle-collection.md) - [Glitter-Infused Summer Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-candle.md) - [Romance-Inspired Candle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romanceinspired-candle.md) - [Warm Fragrance-Paired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleasing-2.md)
