Steph first came into the limelight as the Chief Operating Officer of Kardashian West Brands. She now serves as the Chief Impact Officer of Plus, a biodegradable body wash brand, and co-founded Future Earth, a climate education platform. In partnership with Snif, Steph launched her own genderless fragrance housed in 100% compostable packaging and named Suganami as an homage to her Japanese last name. It’s her signature scent, blending natural, woody iris with hints of incense, myrrh, and amber and finishing with cypress and bright spices like angelica seed and pink pepper.
In this episode, Steph sits down with Marianne Mychaskiw, who runs communications at Scentbird. She takes us back early scent memories growing up in Ohio, why she has always been very specific about fragrance, and how to blend luxury lifestyle and conscious consumerism in your everyday life.
