We're Vince and Adolfo, founders of Chicano Candle Co., a proudly gay- and Chicano-owned fragrance brand based in California's Coachella Valley. We believe scent is one of the strongest connections to memory, bringing us back to the people, places, and traditions that shaped us. Inspired by our Mexican heritage and everyday moments, we create candles and home fragrances rooted in nostalgia. From Grass, inspired by Adolfo's father returning home smelling of freshly cut lawns, to Chamoy, inspired by Vince's childhood memories of fresh fruit covered in chamoy, every fragrance tells a story. Our mission is to celebrate Latino culture, create representation in home fragrance, and help people feel seen, connected, and at home.
