Spring 2021 - 117

ONE LAST THING
you can create; it's just a matter
of how big your imagination can
be. We also offer unique touch wax
warmers, which are a massive hit
with our customers.
Where do you find inspiration for
your design concepts?
DB: We like to keep our ears to
the ground to see what people may
be into that isn't too trendy - so it
will have longevity in our lineup.
We also go with the " everyone loves
___ " concept, such as mermaids,
dragons, the beach - fun themes
like that. Sometimes a fragrance
house will introduce a new scent
that we immediately have an idea for
and sometimes it may be a passing
comment we
hear
that
sparks
an idea. We have many different
personality types here at Shining
Sol so there's never a shortage of
inspiring ideas!
Did any new products surprise you
because they were more successful,
or less successful than you thought?
DB: Every business owner would
like to think that all their ideas are
home runs but that certainly is not
the case. We had a product we called
Sizzling Citrus, which was a unique
scent combining chili pepper and
citrus. It turned into a love/hate -
with more hating it than loving it!
Our Dragon's Lair candle was a bit
of a risk in that we did not include
what one might think would be the
obvious - smokiness. We went with
a sugared fruit and citrus combo to
embrace the " wise, majestic and
powerful " elements of a dragon. It
worked out exceedingly well and
it's one of our best-sellers.
Share with us any trends you
see which impact your concepts or
product offerings.
DB: With COVID we're noticing
people want to be " swept away "
whether it's to the beach,
to the
mountains, anywhere other than the
living room. We are fortunate enough
to offer a scent for most people's love
and interests since we have over 75
individual scent profiles across our
products.
Shining Sol Candle
Company's candles
are handcrafted
and poured, and
some creations
receive hand-placed
embellishments for an
artistic appeal.
