Meet the Creator

Georgie & Ophelia Luxury Candles is the culmination of an infatuation with scent, along with a passion for fashion, beauty, and creativity. Based in Virginia Beach, VA, G&O was conceived from the desire to create the perfect candle, after buying several "high-end" candle brands and being left completely unimpressed. There was tunneling, uneven burn pools, soot; things that shouldn't happen when you have paid $60+ for a candle. So in 2019, Joy Pierre began the arduous journey of learning everything is there is to know about the science of candle making and scent creation. With the support of her husband and family, Joy resigned from her career in the real estate industry and devoted all of her time and effort into working on G&O full-time.
