About Us

Brand Bio:

Founded out of a desire for change, Selene Eve creates luxury pure essential oil fragrances that are designed to transition you from everyday overwhelm to establishing a centred sense of self. Founders Olwyn and Donna, close friends and kindred spirits, share the same values and passion for holistic wellbeing, as they feel life is too precious to let it slip away unnoticed. Experiencing the stress of juggling life, careers, and bereavement, they both found a sense of balance from carving out "me time" and learning to slow down. The act of lighting a beautiful, scented candle encompasses their idea of taking that much needed time.

Named after the Greek goddess of the moon Selene, and the first woman Eve, Selene Eve embraces all that is feminine in energy; life giving, emotive, creative, nurturing. The light of the candles represent the light giving moon; the selection of scents a nod to ones needs in an ever-changing world; and every luxury fragrance comes with an affirmation in correspondence to the feeling that each scent combination emits.

From burning a candle to the act of washing your hands, we want you to experience a sense of coming home to yourself. Our luxury essential oil blends range from calming to uplifting, peaceful to empowering, and we invite you to pause, reflect and explore what each fragrance means to you.

About Donna:

Donna's strong sense of self has meant that she has always sought out ways to find solace in the chaos of juggling her career, family, and the rollercoaster of life. Finding yoga connected her to a deep sense of inner peace and the act of slowing down and cherishing the quieter moments created a much-needed balance in her busy life. The simple act of lighting a candle offered her this time to slow down and she wanted to share how accessible, yet how underrated, such a simple act can be. Believing that we all need to prioritise our wellbeing and question society norms, Donna and Olwyn bonded over shared experiences and a love for holistic wellbeing. They created Selene Eve to encourage others to allow themselves a moment to pause, reflect and prioritise what truly matters.

About Olwyn:

Olwyn's love for essential oils developed at a pivotal time in her life. After losing a close friend to cancer, she decided to listen to her heart and quit her corporate job to launch a luxury retail business that stocked, amongst other items, scents and fragrances. When Olwyn would feel the sadness of her grief, it was the scent on Frankincense and Myrrh that would envelope her in calmness. A belief that everyone should experience how therapeutic natural scents can be as their driving force, she created Selene Eve with her close friend and kindred spirit, Donna. This would be a luxury brand, centred around wellbeing, that celebrates the incredible qualities of essential oils. With each lighting of a candle, or inhale of a scent, she hopes to offer a space for others to feel the support and comfort she experiences from the power of essential oils.
