About Us

Gorilla Candles is a bold, family-owned candle company that crafts rugged, nostalgic scents for those who appreciate a little grit with their glow. Born in the garage but fueled by memory, Gorilla Candles specializes in unique, masculine-inspired fragrances that bring your childhood back — whether it smelled like gasoline, Dad’s old workshop, or the sweet smell fruity breakfast cereal.

We don’t do floral. We do fresh cut grass, burnt rubber, pipe tobacco, and Saturday morning cartoons. Each candle is hand-poured into industrial-style paint cans, blending rugged charm with powerful scent recall. It's not just a candle — it’s a time machine, built for those who grew up on BMX bikes, comic books, baseball mitts, and garage tunes.

With collections like Work Time, Toolbox, After Hours, and Retro Revival, Gorilla Candles turns scent into storytelling — sparking memories of barbershop chairs, candy counters, summer dirt roads, and ice-cold root beer.

Gorilla Candles: Burn bold. Remember louder.
