Juliet is the founder and owner of House of Amao, a luxury candle company dedicated to making all spaces smell incredible without the effects of headaches or allergy triggers, while also tapping into as many senses as possible (sight, smell, touch, hearing).With a career in managerial consulting, and product delivery strategy, Juliet loved using candles for her project downtime and me-moments. However, the idea of House of Amao was planted when Juliet realized she had not burned a candle, used a home diffuser or even brought home fresh flowers in over 4 years because her husband would have horrible allergies that ended with him in bed, not able to do much. The true catalyst was when she became a new mom and felt she needed an in-home oasis if you will, a true time to herself. Though she would have thankful quiet moments here and there, it was obvious something was missing. She realized how much the incredible sense of smell was severely underused in her home due to just "giving up" on candles and worrying about its effects on her husband. As she wished and longed for scented candles that had depth and she could light in her home, she simply decided to stop wishing and instead, do something about it. Alas, House of Amao was born.As the birth of their child was the truest catalyst to prioritizing her self care, Juliet chose to name the company House of Amao, with the thought of her scents making anywhere feel as cozy as home, and Amao being the combination of her daughter's first and last name.Cheers xoxo
