CANDLES FOR
REAL LIFE.

The wax is serious. The label is not.

Most candles are sold on a mood board. Ours are sold on a sentence you were already thinking. Underneath the joke sits a jar we would light in our own house: soy wax, a cotton wick, and enough fragrance to fill a room instead of the inside of the glass.

Sassy Scents is operated by Tim Geithner, a sole proprietor based in Coburg, Germany. We create the designs, run the store and provide customer service. Our candles are produced and fulfilled on demand by U.S.-based production partners in the Printify network and shipped directly to customers in the United States. Sassy Scents is your seller and your contact for all order questions.

The labels

WE SAY IT SO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Every label started as something someone actually said — in a group chat, in a kitchen, at 2am after a shift that went badly. That is the whole brief: if it would not make it into a text message, it does not make it onto a jar.

Which is also why the censoring stays. The joke lands harder with the asterisk.

THE BORING QUESTIONS

Do you ship outside the USA?

Not yet. Wax and international freight are a bad combination, so we ship inside the USA only.

Which scents can I choose?

Our candles use soy wax and cotton wicks. The 9oz candles come in Sea Salt + Orchid, Apple Harvest and Cinnamon Vanilla. The 13.75oz special comes in Comfort Spice, Sea Breeze and Vanilla Bean. Choose your fragrance on the product page before adding your candle to the cart.

Can I get a custom label?

Write to us with the sentence and the occasion. Small batches for weddings, leaving parties and offices are possible if there is enough lead time.
