About Retrograde Candle Co.

Retrograde Candle Co. was created for people who care about how a space feels, not just how it smells. Our candles are designed to unfold slowly, filling a room over time and creating atmosphere that lingers.

We believe scent should be intentional, not overpowering. Comforting, not chaotic.

Our Philosophy

We don't rush the process, and we don't chase trends.
Every Retrograde Candle is developed with balance in mind—wax, wick, and fragrance working together for a clean, even burn and a refined scent experience.

Luxury, to us, means restraint. It means knowing when to add more, and when to stop.

Small Batch, Always.

All of our products are hand-poured in small batches to ensure consistency and quality.
This approach allows us to focus on details—smooth finishes, steady flames, and blends that feel considered rather than loud.

Because when something is made well, you can feel it.

More Than Candles

In addition to our candles, we offer Retro Melts—wax melts designed to deliver bold scent without an open flame. They're perfect for kitchens, offices, or anywhere you want atmosphere without lighting a wick.

Difference format, same intention.

Made for Real Spaces

Our products are made to be used, not saved for special occasions.
Whether it's a quiet evening, a full house, or a moment to reset, Retrograde is designed to meet you where you are.

Thank you for being here.
We're glad you found us.
