How about some inspiration for scenting your products, both for bath and body and home fragrances? Whether you make bath products or candles, reading up on all scent trends can provide lots of creative ideas.Mintel has made no fragrance and flavor predictions for 2011 (they're a reliable source.) So I am having to pick up ideas from other places. Here's what I've gathered:
Top Ten Fragrance Notes 2011
1.Jasmine Sambac—Predicted as the hottest emerging note for 2011
2.White Patchouli—New emerging retro note with a modern twist
3.Rich Balsamic—Bold and indulgent note, great for emerging men’s lines
4.English Toffee—Sweet accords for royal weddings are in the air
5.Caviar Luxe—Caviar accord gives a luxurious trait to a unique fragrance
6.Lime Cilantro Spice—Traditions from the “Day of the Dead” reinvigorate authentic fragrance accords for emerging markets
7.Fir Needles—Traveling from mountain to mountain has never been so invigorating with this modern natural accord
8.Brazilian Nut—World Cup 2014 and the 2016 Olympics make for an amazing Brazilian blowout 9.Guaiacwood—The “tree of life” known as Palo Santo in Jamaica, brings rustic accords alive again
10.Brisk Blue Algae—Life’s power source and the next big wave for energy

Nature's Garden Candles puts out an awesome guide each year for fragrance and color trends. The 2011 home fragrance report quotes Mintel's 2010 predictions along with some new ideas. You can find the last few trend guides here.
Another nice guide is put out by Star Candle. I don't see a definitive date on the information, but I still found it both interesting and relevant. You can view it here.
