Say goodbye to generic candles.
Personalize your next candle with an engraved wooden lid!
Don’t settle for boring candles.
We’ve all been there. We’re unsure of what kind of gift someone wants, so we get them a candle. Candles are great gifts, but have you wished they could be more personalized and genuine? Other “custom candle companies” just slap on a different label to their candles, but at Scented Stories, we pair our candles with an elegantly engraved wooden lid featuring any design you like. The result is a personalized candle that’s unmatched in quality and elegance!
Our Candles Are:
Fully customizable, with dozens of designs available
Poured with 100% soy wax for a clean burn
Made with wood wicks for a premium candle experience
Handmade in Austin, TX
Shipped 3-5 business days after ordering

Family Owned-and-Operated
Scented Stories originally began as a student project for the M.S. Business program at Texas A&M University. The goal was simple - rethink the classic gift of a candle by giving it a unique engraved touch.
Kevin Champagne, one of the original teammates, decided to bring the project back to life a year later with his wife Taylor, continuing the same mission of creating high-quality, personal candles designed to delight for any occasion!
