Now you can enjoy the nostalgic scent of vintage book pages whenever your heart desires with the Book Lovers' Scented Soy Candle. Developed by Frostbread Studio, the Book Lovers' Scented Soy Candle is unlike any other [scented candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snuggle-x-homesick) out there. The fragrance of classic yellowing book pages is captured in the notes of must, timber, newsprint and white tea. This candle has a [sweet-smelling scent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evergreen-candle), rather than an off-putting mildew fragrance. Available in a 8-oz jar, the Book Lovers' Scented Soy Candle is made from a [soy wax base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spice-tea-exchange) and comes in a conveniently yellow color to remind you of your all your favorite old books. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Scented Candles:** The growing popularity of unique scented candles demonstrates opportunities for further innovation in the fragrance industry. - **Nostalgia Products:** The demand for products that evoke nostalgia creates market space for novel products inspired by retrospection. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Consumer preference for eco-friendly goods and packaging presents the opportunity to create innovative and sustainable product packaging. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fragrance Industry:** The fragrance industry can develop more innovative products that appeal to consumers looking for unique scents, such as book-scented candles. - **Home Decor Industry:** The home decor industry can leverage the popularity of nostalgic products and design unique decor items that evoke fond memories. - **Packaging Industry:** The packaging industry can create more sustainable and eco-friendly options to meet the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly goods and packaging, such as soy-based candle packaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Book-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yankee-candle-and-reeses-book-club.md) - [Smokey Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burning-woods.md) - [Rustic Cocktail-Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-candle.md) - [Bakery-Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mornings-at-levain-candle.md) - [Member-Exclusive Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commodity-candles.md) - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [Clean Ingredient Aromatherapy Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lab-co-soy-wax-candles.md) - [Book Club-Inspired Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-book-club.md) - [Soup-Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soup-scented-candles.md)
