# Bearded Wax Busts The Eye Candle X Wisdom Mt. Gentleman Candle is for Hipsters By Meghan Young | Published 2013-12-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-candle-x-wisdom-mt-gentleman References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2013/12/eye-candle-x-wisdom-2013-fallwinter-mt-gentleman-candle) & [pinkoi](http://www.pinkoi.com/product/1JPzBYOf) Forget about [cupcake-shaped candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations) and more classic designs, the Eye Candle X Wisdom Mt. Gentleman candle is where it is at. Shaped like a bearded man complete with glasses and a herringbone poor boy hat, it is the epitome of hipster. Although, a person doesn't have to be a hipster to appreciate it. The sculptural bust would make a refreshing addition to any home. Not to mention a great unique stocking stuffer. A [collaborative effort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-pre-candle), the Eye Candle X Wisdom Mt. Gentleman candle is part of the Wisdom fall/winter 2013 collection. It is available in original, brown and dark brown colors. Each one introduces a new scent: Light Coffee, Dark Coffee and Color. Coming in a [leather box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-bakery) and cloth pouch, it will burn for 10 hours. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## 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 - **Sculptural Candles:** The trend of sculptural candles presents disruptive innovation opportunities for artists and craftsmen to create unique and artistic candle designs that stand out from traditional options. - **Hipster Home Decor:** The trend of hipster-inspired home decor presents disruptive innovation opportunities for designers and manufacturers to create unconventional and unique products that appeal to young, urban consumers seeking self-expression through their living spaces. - **Luxury Candle Packaging:** The trend of luxury candle packaging presents disruptive innovation opportunities for packaging companies to create high-end, customized packaging solutions that enhance the value and perceived quality of candles and gift sets. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor Industry:** The hipster home decor trend presents opportunities for the industry to offer unique, unconventional decor options that can be marketed to young, urban consumers seeking self-expression through their living spaces. - **Artisanal Candle Industry:** The sculptural candle trend presents opportunities for artisanal candle companies to create unique, decorative candles that stand out from traditional options. - **Luxury Packaging Industry:** The trend of luxury candle packaging presents opportunities for luxury packaging companies to create customized and high-end packaging solutions that add value and enhance the perceived quality of candles and gift sets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uniquely Shaped Pastel Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-candle.md) - [Architecturally Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfumato-candle.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Unusual Limited-Edition Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bloom-candle.md) - [Spooky Bong-Shaped Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bong-candle.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-maker.md) - [Beverage-Themed Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-candle.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md)
