About Elden Fragrances

Elden Fragrances  is a small scale perfume manufacturer hand creating fandom-inspired perfumes/colognes and soy candles inspired by pop culture heroes, villains, and familiar fictional settings.

Elden Fragrances firmly believes that perfume should have a purpose. You deserve to wear a scent that’s meaningful to you: whether it’s modeled after a favorite character, inspired by a personal philosophy, or evocative of a cherished place in your heart, you want a fragrance that sends a more significant message to the world — and we’re here to help you find it.

Who handcrafts our fragrances?

Ellen Walsh has been perfuming as a hobby since she was a child, when she received a “make your own” scent kit for her eighth birthday. She even still has some of the perfumes she made back then!

As she grew older and geekier and fell in love with some of her favorite fandoms, she combined her two passions by blending scents inspired by pop culture, and inspired by some of the characters she admired – first for herself, then as gifts for friends and family, and finally she took the plunge and launched Elden Fragrances as a sole proprietorship in 2017.

With the support and assistance of her partner James, she handles everything from the perfume development itself, to production and shipping, to site maintenance and social media management, and everything else that goes into running a small crafting business (she’s writing this paragraph in third person, too!).

Elden Fragrances is a cottage industry conducted out of Ellen’s home in central North Carolina.

Keep up with our important announcements, giddy fangirling, and cheesy memes on social media at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

You can also find our pop culture fragrances at conventions, craft fairs, and fan events in the Raleigh area and across the East Coast.

What the Fans Say

I bought a bottle of Kitty’s got Claws at Supercon, and it is amazing! You can smell different notes throughout it, and it makes it very versatile. I definitely plan on buying more, and hope that maybe you will venture into wax melts for warmers and not just candles!

Katherine H.

While at Raleigh Supercon I got some scents and a candle, and ohmagosh they are amazing! Everything smells so good, I will definitely be shopping Elden Fragrances in the near future ♥

Grace J.

I went to Raleigh SuperCon and I got the Enchanted perfume and I’m in LOVE. I’ve been complimented a lot on how wonderful it smells. It really does feel like you’re in a fairy tale when you smell it.  ♥ I will be buying more!

Sarah W.

This is spicy, and sweet, like walking through my grandmother's rose garden on a humid summer night, just after the rain! Thank you for the sweet memories this fragrance [A Dream So Familiar] just dropped on me.

Alison H.

I would immediately jump any man wearing this.

Liz W.

I didn't know it was possible for a scent I've never smelled to be so rich, and so full of memory.

Thanks to Elden Fragrance's line of Harry Potter inspired perfumes, I can literally wear my Gryffindor pride on my sleeve - and it's divine.
