Episode Recap

This week we get a masterclass in levelling up everyday essentials with Cynthia Sakai — founder of the impeccably designed beauty and lifestyle brand, evolvetogether. Cynthia's a former fashion entrepreneur and 2014 CFDA inductee who previously founded the jewellery line Vita Fede. Now, she's consciously created evolvetogether — a Gwyneth-approved brand that has Business of Fashion asking “Is evolvetogether the next Aesop?”

Tune in to hear about:

• The Japanese ritual Cynthia has quietly practised her whole life that the internet just rebranded as "scentscaping" — and how to do it in your own home

• Why celebrity esthetician Joanna Czech lent her expertise to evolvetogether’s travel-friendly collab cleanser (and yes, it's #DamnGood)

• The surprising reason that this founder is unbothered about being duped — and why she actually thinks it's a good thing

• Why you won’t catch Cynthia layering her fragrances — ever

• Stay tuned to the end to hear which dreamy vacation destination is topping her ultra discerning travel list
