U.S. candle sales are estimated at over $3 million every year. Even with all of the room fragrance options, people still choose candles.

Candles also offer an ambiance and relaxation that no other fragrance option offers. Candles are perfect for romantic or cozy nights in and are just a nice addition to any home decor.

Because so many people still love candles, the candle industry is under many changes. From candles made for specific occasions and consumers to uniquely shaped candles, there’s a candle for everyone.

What are some unique candle ideas? Here are 5 unique and wonderful smelling candles to display in your home.

1. Coiled Candles

We all know the feeling — you find the perfect candle, but it doesn’t last that long. Fortunately, coiled candles offer a solution.

Coiled candles not only look unique but they’re long-lasting. Some last as long as 60 hours! Light the candle and coiled candles self-extinguish after a certain amount of time. Unwind it around the coil to burn more.

2. Fruit-Shaped Candles

Can’t resist fruity scents? If fruity candles are your favorite, you’ll want something more than the sweet and crisp fragrances in a typical candle tin.

Opt for fruit-shaped candles for more fun! There are many fruit-shaped candle varieties, many are powerful and long-lasting.

What are some examples of fruit-shaped candles? You can find grape, lemon, peach, strawberry, and more!

3. Book-Scented Candles

What are some popular scents? Floral, vanilla, and…books? While the smell of an old book may make some noses wrinkle in disgust, there’s a bookworm in your life who indulges in the smell of paper.

With books now available in a digital medium, what’s a bookworm to do? Fortunately, book-scented candles are the perfect pairing with a cup of coffee, a book, and a cozy evening.

4. Stinky Candles

One person’s B.O. is another person’s perfume. Not everyone wants to breathe in pumpkin spice.

Instead, they would rather smell nacho cheese and gasoline. If you would rather smell a gas station than a perfume store, opt for these stinky candles.

Okay, not all of these scents are stinky. But they’re definitely unorthodox! Scent examples include No. 2 Pencil, money, onion, chlorine, clean puppy, skunk, fart, and pizza.

5. Candles for Men

Candles were always seen as a feminine interest. Candles were also made in scents favored by women, such as floral scents. Now, candles are made for everyone — including men.

These candles, such as Fyrian candles for men, come in scents preferred by guys. These include single malt and black leather. Light one of these candles in your man cave for the ultimate male ambiance.
