Our story

Scripting our story – and yours.

We make candles that celebrate what YOU love.

Scripted Fragrance is the vision of mother-daughter duo Elizabeth and Amberlee Isabella. Our original hand-poured soy wax candles that double as Reusable Rocks Glasses tell your stories and provide moments to reflect upon the pets, places, experiences, and cherished relationships we all hold close.

Finding inspiration from a dog named Dixie-Lee

There are dogs, and then there is everything else. The bond between humans and our fur babies is unbreakable. It’s impossible to capture the spirit of our canine companions, but that doesn’t stop us from trying. This is where the idea behind Scripted begins.

One day in 2015, Elizabeth was browsing dog-related home decor and turned down an aisle full of candles. She envisioned a fragrance in the spirit of her favorite breed – the Dachshund – especially her Dixie-Lee, with whom she shares an extraordinary connection. When Elizabeth arrived home, she couldn’t shake the idea. She mocked up labels for these hypothetical candles that included whimsical narratives around her beloved Dachshunds and her favorite state, South Carolina, which happens to be the birthplace of Dixie-Lee.

Imagine Amberlee’s surprise when Elizabeth then invested $300 in supplies and declared that both of them were going to learn how to make candles.

They spent a year developing handmade products in their respective Rhode Island and New York City kitchens. The pair debuted with two of Scripted’s most popular collections: the Pet Collection, which finds inspiration in the origins and personalities of each dog breed, and the State Collection, inspired by special memories of their travels with beloved family.

Lighting it up

Scripted’s early success at New York City pop-ups and through sales on Etsy has led to the creation of ten giftable collections with more than 150 unique candles. We’re continuing to expand with a charming studio space in New York’s Hudson Valley, a dedicated team, and the development of partnerships with some of the largest retailers in the nation. 

At Scripted, we develop our fragrances, design our packaging, print our glassware, pour our candles, and fulfill all of your orders in-house. Our unique, hands-on process ensures that each and every candle leaves our studio ready to be cherished.
