Scent Story: "Sumud" is a rallying cry of Palestine meaning "steadfast perseverance" - a reference to the continued survival of their people and culture amid violent occupation and forced restriction of resources.

Our current recipient is Haya Abdelwahed. You can learn more about Haya and her family on their GoFundMe page. Please donate directly if you’re able, or help us spread the word about Haya on social media. Thank you kind humans!

a perfume dedicated to Palestine, and donates to its people in need. Sumud is sweet and fruity with a musky depth. I appreciate Birch and Besom for being one of the few perfume brands to support Palestine, and support its people living freely- as all people should be able to… perfume is political! I am proud to support such a brand and cause

Lush, beautiful

I just love this perfume. It is warm and mellow and fruity and floral all at once. I love that its creators are donating their profits from it to Palestine. I am 83 now but for 30 years I wrote periodically about Palestine and its occupation by Israel from the West Bank. I just completed another article on Gaza that has been reprinted in 19 publications. I wear the perfume and think of poor besieged Palestine and the worldwide movement to save it.

Yall, she’s a keeper and a repurchase. It’s beautiful, unique, and long lasting. Best of all it’s unisex and supporting a good cause.
It has a really pretty evolution on my skin.. starts off bright, airy, and watermelon fruity sweet. Then the scent becomes darker with the olive and earthy notes. Even when all of that fades, I’m left with a soft musk that projects really well. Jasmine is listed in the notes, but don’t let that scare you. I’m not fond of florals, yet I found it added a lovely supportive touch.
Run, get it, and hopefully it works well with your skin chemistry like it did with mine 🥰
