ABOUT
Hi, friends! We're Heather and Genevieve, the witchy BFF team behind Birch & Besom. We started our business out of a love for magic, self-care and superb smells.
Truth be told, a long time ago we were both die-hard fans of Halloween season at Bath & Body Works. But after developing headache sensitivities (and a more refined palette!), we decided to venture into the world of fragrance on our own.
Genevieve is our fragrance designer with years of experience creating and reviewing indie perfumes. Her hyperosmia (heightened sense of smell) allows her to masterfully blend fragrances to create little works of olfactory art. Sometimes you can spot her on Reddit, lurking the Indie Makeup and More community as u/oaksandroses.
Heather handles the business side of things, including customer service, marketing, package design and fulfillment. She's a jack-of-all-trades with that entrepreneurial witch blood in her veins. On the weekends, she can be found schlepping our magical wares to pop-up markets around Oregon.
There are plenty of amazing gothic perfumeries out there, so we created Birch & Besom to embrace the playful side of witchcraft and magic. Gorgeously captivating scents with a dash of whimsy, a smidge of spooky, and a pinch of silly humor is what we're all about. And if that mission resonates with you, you're our kind of people 🤍
Happy Sniffings,
G & H
