Frequently Asked Questions
What makes oil-based fragrance different?
Oil-based fragrance wears closer to the skin than traditional alcohol-based perfume.
It warms with your body chemistry and evolves gradually, creating a more intimate and restrained presence.
Rather than projecting outward, the scent remains personal — noticeable to those near you, never overwhelming a room.
What are Georgie & Ophelia's body oils made of?
Each fragrance is composed using a blend of high-quality fragrance oils suspended in an all-natural lightweight oil base designed to absorb cleanly into the skin.
The formulation is intentionally simple — allowing the fragrance itself to lead, while the oil supports wear, comfort, and longevity without heaviness or greasiness.
How long do the fragrances last?
Oil-based fragrances are designed to linger quietly.
Longevity varies by skin type and environment, but most wear comfortably for several hours, settling in rather than fading abruptly. Reapplication is subtle and intentional, not necessary for projection.
How should I apply the fragrance?
Apply directly to clean skin anywhere you prefer — shoulders, arms, décolletage, or other areas where fragrance naturally warms.
These fragrances are meant to be worn broadly and naturally, not limited to traditional pulse points.
Will the oil stain clothing?
Our oils are formulated to absorb into the skin rather than sit on the surface.
We recommend allowing a moment for the oil to settle before dressing, particularly with delicate fabrics.
Are the fragrances strong?
They are noticeable, but controlled.
Georgie & Ophelia fragrances are composed to wear close, favoring presence over projection. If you are accustomed to loud or highly diffusive perfumes, the experience may feel more understated by design.
Are the fragrances unisex?
Yes.
All fragrances are designed without gender in mind. Wear is guided by preference, not category.
Do you offer samples or discovery sets?
Discovery offerings are released periodically and announced through our mailing list.
At present, we recommend beginning with one of our Signature fragrances to experience the house.

How should I store my fragrance?
