If you need a gift as soon as possible, we recommend our gift cards which are emailed directly to the recipient upon purchase.

Where do you ship?

We ship our candles to anywhere in the United States.

Regretfully, we do not offer international shipping at this time.

Do you offer expedited processing and shipping?

Expedited shipping options are provided at checkout. We are not able to expedite processing at this time.

How can I change my shipping address?

If an incorrect shipping address is provided at checkout, please contact us within 1 hour of placing the order. Once notified, we will be able to advise if the address can be changed, or if and order must be cancelled. Shipping addresses can not be changed once a shipping label has been generated.

Additional postage required for orders that are 'Returned to Sender" due to inaccurate information provided at checkout are the responsibility of the buyer. If a buyer opts to return the order, the refund will be less any shipping costs associated with the incorrect address. 

How can I track my order?

Please refer to your shipping confirmation email for tracking information. Note, it may take a few business days for packages to show tracking information.

Order shipped via the United States Postal Service (USPS) can be tracked at USPS.com. Orders shipped via United Postal Service (UPS) can be tracked at UPS.com. We highly recommend signing up for tracking alerts directly from the carrier to ensure the most up to date information.

Can you help me located a package that is shown as delivered but I can't find it?

The first step is to confirm delivery via the shipping company directly. Sometimes tracking via ScriptedFragrance.com is not the most up to do date.

Orders shipped via the United States Postal Service (USPS) can be tracked at USPS.com. Orders shipped via United Postal Service (UPS) can be tracked at UPS.com. We highly recommend signing up for tracking alerts for the most update to date tracking information directly from the shipping provider.

In the event you can't find a package that has been indicated as delivered, we recommend checking with neighbors and your local postmaster by leaving a note in your mailbox inquiring about the location of your package. We find this resolves most concerns when this is done within 48 hours of delivery.

If a package is shown as delivered, ‘Missing Mail’ claims can only be filed with USPS after 14 days of a confirmed delivery.

‘Missing Mail’ claims can be filed by Scripted Fragrance or the buyer. At Scripted Fragrance, we’re privy to the same information that is shown by USPS.com and UPS.com once a package is in their possession. While we are happy to assist with filing a claim, please understand we do not send replacement candles for orders that are in ‘transit’ or shown as ‘delivered’.

Stolen packages are a serious and rare occurrence. If you believe your package has been stolen, a police report must be filed by the buyer to facilitate a claim with either USPS or UPS.

Why does tracking show my candle is going in the wrong direction?

Regretfully, sometimes tracking on packages shows delays and it’s headed in the wrong direction. At Scripted Fragrance, we’re privy to the same information that is shown by USPS.com and UPS.com once a package is in their possession. It’s not uncommon for packages to have extended transit times and take ‘detours’ during the busy holidays season.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we’re at the mercy of our shippers just like you as a small business.

Please understand, we do not send replacement candles for orders that are in ‘transit’ or shown as ‘delivered’.

Candle details

Where are your candles made?

We design, hand pour, and package all of our soy candles at our studio Warwick, New York, located in the lower Hudson Valley. We take great pride in creating a 100% soy candle experience for your home and to share with friends.

Our candles are made with premium fragrance and essential oils.

They are vegan, cruelty-free, dye-free, additive-free, preservative-free, petroleum-free, and phthalate-free.

Are your candles 100% soy?

Yes. Our candles are 100% soy wax made from U.S. grown soy beans in Kentucky. 

What ingredients do you use in your candles?

Hand-poured, our candles are 100% soy wax made from U.S. grown soy beans in Kentucky. 

Unlike many manufacturers, we do not use paraffin wax which is made from petroleum. As a fossil fuel it is not a sustainable or renewable energy source. Many believe that burning paraffin candles can emit potentially harmful toxins into the air. At Scripted Fragrance, we're proud to make our candles with 100% natural soy wax. 

Most candles that say "soy wax blend" on the label contain paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is often a less expensive raw material, easier to ship overseas, and can be loaded with over the top fragrance that may cause discomfort for some.

Our one-of-a-kind candles are designed to fill a small room with fragrance and have a lighter scent in larger spaces. If an intense fragrance experience is what you aspire to have with your purchase, you may want to consider paraffin wax candle.

Taking care of your candle is important to ensure maximum fragrance throw and burn time. More can be read about Candle Care here.

Candle Safety & Care

How do I burn my candle?

Candles should NEVER be left unattended. Burn on a flat, heat resistant surface away from drapes and other flammable materials. Keep away from children and pets and do not touch the hot wax. Please use caution as Scripted Fragrance will not be held responsible for user misuse and negligence.

We recommend a burn time of 2-3 hours to prevent the glass from overheating or wax from “tunneling.” Wax has a memory, please be sure to allow the wax to melt to the edge each time you light. Limit the burning time to prevent overheating the glass.

Do not burn your candle all the way down to the glass. We recommend discontinuing burning when ¼ inch of wax remains.

To preserve the quality of your candle and extend its burn time, we recommend our Gold Candle Accessories Set which includes a wick trimmer & snuffer. 

Do I need to trim the wick of my candle?

Yes. We recommend keeping wick at ¼ inch. Flames can get out-of-control if the wick is left untrimmed, which leads to flickering, smoke and soot. A wick trimmer is the best way to trim the wick.

To preserve the quality of your candle and extend its burn time, we recommend our Gold Candle Accessories Set which includes a wick trimmer & snuffer. 

How do I clean my Reusable Rocks Glass Candle?

We recommend to discontinue burning when between ¼ inch of wax remains.

Step 1 - Scoop out the remaining wax with a spoon. Do not allow candle wax to go down a sink drain. 

Step 2 - Fill glass with 1/2" of hot water, not boiling, to loosen the wick. Wait for 2 minutes.

Step 3 - Use a spoon to pop the wick and wick sticker from the bottom glass using gentle pressure.

Step 4 - Dampen a paper towel with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax remnants.

Step 5 -Hand wash the glass with soap and warm water.

Please note, printed glassware is hand wash only.

Can a place my glass in the dishwasher?

To ensure the longevity of your glassware, we recommend hand washing only with warm water and a soft sponge.
