  • Discovering Dossier: Turning Dupe Culture Into a Luxury Fragrance Movement
    In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Sergio Tache, founder and CEO of Dossier, the viral fragrance brand rewriting the rules of luxury. What started as a simple question—“Why should smelling good cost $150?”—has evolved into a global movement redefining access, quality, and transparency in the world of scent.Sergio shares his unconventional journey from finance to fragrance, revealing how a curiosity for entrepreneurship led him to challenge one of beauty’s most exclusive markets. Dossier began with a clear mission: make high-quality, cruelty-free perfumes with premium ingredients—without the markup. What emerged was not just an affordable alternative, but an entirely new way for consumers to explore fragrance through layering, discovery, and personalization.From its early “impressions” collection inspired by luxury icons to its growing line of original creations like It Factor, Dossier has evolved from “dupe” to disruptor—proving that true luxury is about integrity, not price tags. Sergio also lifts the curtain on the brand’s minimalist ethos: recyclable packaging, transparent sourcing, and French craftsmanship that speaks for itself.As the fragrance landscape shifts, Dossier stands out for celebrating individuality and inclusivity. Sergio discusses how consumer preferences are changing—toward genderless scents, mindful spending, and authenticity—and why the future of fragrance lies in accessibility, not aspiration.Tune in to hear how Dossier is democratizing luxury, one scent at a time—and why the next evolution of perfume is all about confidence, creativity, and connection.Shop all Dossier Fragrances!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:54 – Sergio’s Transition from Finance to Fragrance2:18 – Founding Dossier & Making Luxury Accessible4:01 – Value vs. Discovery in Fragrance5:37 – Breaking Down Luxury Pricing7:16 – From “Dupes” to Original Creations10:57 – Fragrance as an Everyday Luxury11:43 – Lessons from Building Dossier16:44 – Craft, Packaging & the Future of FragrancePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

  • The Science of How Mitochondria Regulate Skin Longevity - Timeline Masterclass Part 2
    In this masterclass episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Julie Faitg, Senior Manager of Applied Research and Regulatory Affairs at Timeline, to uncover how mitochondrial science is transforming the future of skin longevity.Dr. Faitg challenges the familiar “powerhouse” analogy, instead calling mitochondria the “CEO of the cell.” Far from passive energy producers, these organelles orchestrate communication, repair, and renewal—directly influencing collagen production, elasticity, and cellular resilience. “If your mitochondria aren’t healthy,” she explains, “the entire cascade of cellular function begins to falter.”Through vivid analogies, Dr. Faitg describes how mitochondria behave differently across tissues—fueling endurance in muscles, focus in the brain, and regeneration in the skin. This adaptability, she notes, is what makes them the foundation of both vitality and longevity.The conversation dives into mitochondrial resilience, the skin’s ability to repair and recover from stress. Aging begins when this resilience declines, leading to diminished energy, slower renewal, and visible signs of fatigue.Dr. Faitg highlights Timeline’s breakthrough ingredient, Mitopure® (Urolithin A)—a clinically validated compound that triggers mitophagy, the process of recycling damaged mitochondria. In trials, topical Mitopure® improved collagen expression, hydration, and firmness while reducing inflammation and UV-induced stress.Developed in Switzerland under rigorous safety and precision standards, Timeline’s skincare line redefines beauty as m—a shift from treating the surface to revitalizing the source.🎧 Listen to this episode to explore how mitochondrial health holds the key to radiant, resilient, and truly ageless skin.Learn more about Timeline and shop their products on their website and social media.Chapters:0:02 – Episode Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Why Mitochondria Matter & Overview3:34 – Mitochondria Across Different Tissues5:22 – Mitochondria’s Role in Skin Vitality7:04 – Dysfunction, Aging & Skin Longevity12:19 – Mitochondrial Resilience & Oxidative Stress18:48 – Clinical Studies & Observed Effects on Skin21:32 – Delivery Systems, Penetration, & Safety Considerations25:40 – Translating Swiss Science from Lab to ProductPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

  • Fall Fragrance Edit: The Best Vanilla & Oud Scents Curated by Olya Bar
    In this special Fashion Friday episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav welcomes back fragrance expert Olya Bar for the highly anticipated Fall Fragrance Guide 2025. Together, they explore this season’s most sophisticated scent evolutions—where vanilla and oud take on richer, moodier, and more nuanced dimensions.Olya shares how her personal and professional journey has refined her olfactory taste—moving from novelty toward depth and balance. “It’s not about losing interest, it’s about refinement,” she says, reflecting on how motherhood and her role at Europerfume have shifted her appreciation for scent.Vanilla emerges as the star of the season, but far from the sugary gourmand stereotype. Olya highlights new interpretations—like Vanille Mathonie by Reserve and Afrique, a cinnamon-tinged tropical warmth, and Vanille Poudrée Extrait by Matiere Premiere, a sensual, boozy evolution of the original. Even bolder options like Mancera’s Brown Sugar Oud Vanilla blend sweetness with smoky, resinous complexity.The conversation deepens with oud—a timeless yet polarizing note. Olya demystifies its origin, quality variations, and artistry, spotlighting approachable scents like Chabaud’s Mysterious Oud and the enduring Montale Dark Aoud. A rising trend? Tropical oud fusions, marrying exotic brightness with earthy warmth.As the fragrance landscape matures, Olya encourages a slower, more intentional approach to scent—treating perfume as a “tasting experience” rather than a trend chase. This fall, she says, is about substance over sugar—fragrances that embody identity, depth, and quiet sophistication.🎧 Listen to the full episode for Olya’s complete fragrance picks and insights into the evolving artistry of modern perfumery.Shop Olya Bar's Fall Fragrance recommendations HERE!
