# Apocalyptic Air Fresheners These Quirky and Colorful Air Fresheners Depict Apocalyptic Scenarios By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-air-fresheners References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/buy/air-fresheners-of-the-apocalypse) & [jimtheillustrator](http://www.jimtheillustrator.co.uk) Illustrator Jim Stoten has designed a series of colorful air fresheners that are inspired by post-apocalyptic literature. Stoten's designs are part of his contribution to a collection called 'Air Fresheners of the Apocalypse,' which depicts interesting apocalyptic scenarios. Stoten's designs are specifically inspired by the 1952 novel 'Daybreak 2250 AD.' Drawing inspiration from the post-apocalyptic world depicted in the novel, Stoten's characters are part-mutant and part-human. Despite the dark subject matter, the illustrations are ultra-colorful and undeniably charming. The colorful air fresheners are not only fun to look at, but they also smell intoxicating. Stoten's designs are scented by 'Bompas & Parr' and are intended to mimic the scent of coffee and the perfume worn by his girlfriend. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colorful Air Fresheners:** The rise of colorful and visually appealing air fresheners as a way to add a touch of fun and style to personal spaces. - **Apocalyptic-inspired Designs:** A trend in design and artwork that draws inspiration from post-apocalyptic literature, offering a unique and edgy aesthetic. - **Scented Novelty Items:** The popularity of scented products, such as air fresheners, that offer unique and intriguing fragrances to enhance sensory experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Opportunities for companies in the home decor industry to create and sell visually appealing and unique air fresheners as decorative items for personal spaces. - **Art and Design:** A market for artists and designers to create and sell apocalyptic-inspired merchandise, including air fresheners, to appeal to a niche audience. - **Fragrance and Perfume:** The potential for fragrance companies to collaborate with artists and designers to create scented novelty items, showcasing unique and captivating scents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Summer Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-fresheners.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Hangable Fragrance Tags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragrance-tags.md) - [Horror Film Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare.md) - [Kinetic Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conecto-air-perfume.md) - [Astrological Auto Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/febreze-carstrology.md) - [Unicorn-Inspired Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-toots.md) - [Wintery Automotive Car Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-angel-car-air-freshener.md) - [Canine Hip-Hop Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-vent-air-freshener.md)
