Meet Tucker, the hardest working cat in the candle business. Sometimes you just need to paws and reflect on all your accomplishments.
ABOUT US
Our candle company started as a flicker several years ago. Everyone on our team is an Old Grad from an academy, a private university or a state school. The idea of launching a company together caught fire! We love candles. We buy candles. We burn candles and send candles as gifts. So the idea of Old Grad Candle made complete scents.
Our goal was to create luxurious candles with clean fragrances. Old Grad candles are hand-poured in small batches using premium soy wax and a cotton core wick. Pairing these ingredients with small-batch craftsmanship, we deliver the finest candles in the world.
Specializing in candles that make memories come alive.
Lighting an Old Grad candle is an invitation to experience memories coming alive. The hand-selected scents match the personality and meaning behind each candle.
Candles are our passion. Whether you are an Old Grad, A New Grad, A Soon-to-be Grad, or part of a Grad family, we hope you will enjoy the fragrances and experiences of our candle collection.
Our Wax & Fragrances
Soy Wax
We specialize in hand poured scented soy blended candles with single cotton core wicks.
All Natural
All our candle waxes are natural we do not add any dyes or colorization.
Highly Fragrant
Fragrance oils are at a high 8% load and are blended to match the personality and theme behind the candle.
We have a few candles options that carry a higher fragrance percentage because we all loved the scent so much.
We focus on scents that are sophisticated, enticing and hopefully will flood your room with memories.
Better Together
Our community action program is designed to give back through local support initiatives. We will select non-profit organizations that are aligned with Duty, Service, Peace & Equality. A percentage of sales will be donated annually to community organizations across the country.
