On TikTok, Instagram, and even local Facebook groups, people are sharing their favorite finds. Here’s a Pakistani-focused look at the biggest scented candle trends of 2025.
🍅 Tomato-Scented Candles: The Bold New Choice

Tomato scents are a global trend, and Pakistanis are catching on. Luxury brands like Diptyque and Loewe may be on the pricey side, but local artisanal brands are experimenting with their own takes. The result? A crisp, green scent that cuts through stuffiness and pairs beautifully with Pakistan’s humid summers.
Why it’s catching on in Pakistan:
- A refreshing change from heavy rose or oud candles.
- Perfect for summer nights and iftar gatherings.
- Works well in apartments where natural greenery is limited.
