The Story Behind The Brand

Hi, I’m Elleni—founder of Scented By Eight, a proud woman-owned small business based in Melbourne.

It all began when I bought a Froot Loops candle that had zero scent once lit. That experience sparked my mission to create super-strong candles, which I perfected after months of testing like a mad scientist. Once I had that down, I wanted to create something a little different, something that would stand out. My goal became to offer people hyper-realistic wax melts that look and smell like real food, with a focus on those comforting gourmand scents that we all love. To make them even more unique, I began creating my own moulds, which added a special touch to each one.

Then, my kids, who absolutely loved bath bombs, inspired me to create my own. I got to work (mad scientist mode again), hand-pressing each bomb myself and adding skin-loving ingredients to make them not just fun, but nourishing too.

Everything I make is designed to bring joy, memories, and a burst of fragrance into your space.

Scent is powerful—and I hope mine leave a little happiness behind.
