HAPPI magazine reports that trend-tracker Mintel expects mood changing scents to be big in 2010.
Mintel predicts that the high-stress lifestyles that consumers are currently experiencing will drive them to look for simple olfactory escapes. They give examples of a pina colada scented candle that could bring back memories of a beach vacation and an air freshener that smells like pumpkin spice scent that could be reminiscent of the holidays. A second scent trend that they forecast involves simple clean scents. We should expect to see products like body lotions, dish detergents, and air fresheners with few- or single-component scents.
Flavor Fave
Even more intriguing are Mintel’s prediction for flavor trends for next year. Here are their top 6 flavor notes to watch out for:
- Cardamom
- Sweet Potato
- Hibiscus
- Cupuaçu
- Rose water
- Latin
Fun fact: The title of “HAPPI” magazine has nothing to euphoria or the Clinique fragrance. It stands for Household And Personal Products Industry.

What does ‘Latin’ smell/taste like? Old books comes to mind…
I was hoping it tastes Antonio Banderas! (Or maybe even Eva Mendes?)
