1. Why should I choose Scented Sonnets over cheaper candles?

At Scented Sonnets, every candle is handcrafted with care—not mass-produced.

We focus on:

• Premium quality wax

• Carefully selected fragrance oils

• Strong yet balanced scent throw

• Clean and even burn

• Beautiful handcrafted finish

Each candle goes through multiple quality checks before it reaches you because we believe you're buying an experience, not just a candle.

​

2. Are your candles handmade?

     Yes.

Every Scented Sonnets candle is individually handcrafted in small batches. This allows us to maintain better quality and attention to detail than factory-made candles.

Because they're handmade, tiny variations in color or texture may occur—and that's what makes every candle unique. Handmade products naturally have slight differences, unlike machine-made items.

​

3. What wax do you use?

We use premium-quality candle wax selected for a clean, beautiful burn and excellent fragrance performance.

Our priority is creating candles that burn evenly while delivering a luxurious scent experience.

​

4. Are your candles strongly scented?

Yes—but not overpowering.

We carefully balance every fragrance so it fills your room beautifully without becoming overwhelming.

The scent intensity can vary depending on:

• Room size

• Air circulation

• Burn time

For the best fragrance experience, allow the candle to burn until the entire top layer melts.

​

5. Do you accept custom orders?

Yes!

We love creating candles for:

• Birthdays

• Weddings

• Baby showers

• Corporate gifting

• Return gifts

• Festivals

• Special occasions

If you have an idea, we'd love to bring it to life.​

​

6. Do you offer bulk or corporate gifting?

Absolutely.

We offer:

• Custom branding

• Personalized packaging

• Thank-you cards

• Wedding favors

• Corporate gifts

• Event gifting

​

7. What makes Scented Sonnets special?

We don't just make candles.

We create little moments of comfort.

Whether it's your morning coffee, a rainy evening, a quiet reading session, or a thoughtful gift for someone you love, our candles are designed to make ordinary moments feel a little more special.

Because every candle tells a story—and every story deserves the perfect scent.

​

 

8. How long do your candles burn?

Burn time depends on the candle size.

Approximate burn times:

• Small candles: 15–25 hours

• Medium candles: 30–40 hours

• Large candles: 45–60+ hours

For the longest life, trim the wick before each burn and follow the care instructions.

​

9. How can I make my candle last longer?

To get the best performance:

• Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before every burn.

• Let the wax melt completely across the top during the first burn.

• Avoid burning for more than 4 hours continuously.

• Keep away from fans and open windows.

Following these simple steps helps prevent tunneling and extends the candle's life.

​

10. How long will it take to receive my order?

Since every candle is handcrafted, processing usually takes 2–5 business days.

Shipping time depends on your location, and you'll receive tracking details once your order is dispatched.

​

11. Can I return or exchange my candle?

Because our candles are handmade and made in small batches, we generally do not accept returns for change of mind.

However, if your candle arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we'll make it right.

Your satisfaction matters to us.

​

12. What if my candle gets damaged during shipping?

No worries.

If your candle arrives broken or damaged:

• Contact us within 48 hours.

• Share clear photos of the product and packaging.

We'll review it promptly and arrange a replacement or suitable resolution.

​

13. Is it safe to burn scented candles every day?

Yes, when used correctly.

Always:

• Burn within sight.

• Keep away from children and pets.

• Place on a heat-resistant surface.

• Keep away from curtains and flammable objects.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Following standard candle safety practices ensures a safe experience.

​

14. Why is the first burn so important?

The first burn sets the "memory" of your candle.

Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges before extinguishing it. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn for future uses.

​

15. Is Scented Sonnets a genuine small business?

Yes.

Scented Sonnets is a proudly handcrafted small business built with passion, creativity, and attention to detail.

Every order is carefully made, packed, and checked before shipping. We genuinely value every customer and strive to provide a product we're proud to put our name on.

​

16. Why does my candle look slightly different from the photos?

Every candle is handmade.

Small variations in:

• Wax texture

• Color

• Frosting

• Surface finish

are completely normal and do not affect quality or performance.

It's one of the beautiful characteristics of handcrafted products.
