Ryan Oosthuizen – Founder of BOTL
Hi, I’m Ryan Oosthuizen, the founder of BOTL (Blessings Of The Lord). I launched this company when I was just 15 years old—not just because I love colognes, but because I wanted to create something with purpose, inspired by my faith and personal story.
I was born in South Africa and moved to Australia with my family when I was two. I live in Perth, Western Australia, and I play competitive basketball, but one of my biggest passions has always been fragrances. I’ve always loved smelling good and the confidence that comes with it.
But BOTL wasn’t just born from a love of fragrance—it came from something deeper. About a year before I started this brand, my older brother passed away in a car accident. That loss changed everything for me. It made me more compassionate, more grounded, and more aware of how fragile and meaningful life is. I carry that experience in my heart every day, and it drives me to connect with others who have faced pain or loss. That’s why BOTL isn’t just about scent—it’s about purpose, healing, and hope.
I started this company because I love the Lord and wanted to create a brand that honors Him. Every fragrance is inspired by scripture, each one telling a story and carrying a deeper meaning. Whether you're a Christian or not, BOTL is for everyone—whether it draws you closer to God or simply helps you feel confident and refreshed.
My goal is to inspire people through the scriptures behind each fragrance—and if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here. You can reach out anytime through Instagram or TikTok
Thank you for being here.
BOTL is more than a brand—it's a blessing.
