Evolvetogether Is the Best-Smelling Body Care Brand—I Said What I Said

I’m not quite sure how we got here, but we are in the throes of gifting season, and my list of things to buy is 1000 bullet points long. I originally discovered this hand wash and hand lotion duo during a trip to Wildflower Farms, a resort in upstate New York. The gorgeous Auberge property partnered with the bodycare brand earlier this year—upon entering Wildflower Farms, guests are encouraged to take a moment to decompress and transition to a state of relaxation with a restorative hand-washing ritual. The collab is incredibly organic; both Wildflower Farms and Evolvetogether prioritize caring for the environment (Wildflower Farms composts waste and harvests vegetables from the on-property garden, while Evolvetogether has done The Most to have eco-friendly packaging).

The short of the long: I’ve been hooked ever since. This duo has permanent residence by my kitchen sink, and my guests are always commenting on how delicious it smells and how luxe it feels. It’s my number one holiday gifting go-to for that very reason. It’s always a hit. No gift receipt is ever needed.

Review: “I’ve tried so many natural deodorants and kind of committed to being a little stinky forever in the name of health, but this works better than any I’ve tried! Also smells delicious! Curious to see how long it lasts because it’s a bit pricier than I’d like but highly recommend!” — Evolvetogether

I know so many people (including myself) who have been hyper-skeptical of natural, aluminum-free deodorant. I get it: you don’t want to smell. This set is my number one recommendation for skeptics. The scents are incredibly elegant—they smell like fine fragrance, which is a huge defining factor for this body care brand—and it actually disguises the smell of BO. Would I use this when it’s 100 degrees in the summer? Probably not, but they’re 10 out of 10 for a winter deo.

Review: “It's my absolute favorite scent in this line. The soap, deodorant and hand cream smell so good. The lotion's scent is really light in scent though which is a little disappointing. But I love the evolve together products.” — Evolvetogether

I am what you would call a Body Wash Snob. A regular schmegular cleanser just isn’t going to cut it. I expect a perfect foam. A hydrating finish. And a fragrance that smells akin to something I would expect from a luxe fragrance brand. This baby fits the bill. I’m partial to the Monoco scent, which is a rose, oud, patchouli, and mandarin blend that makes me feel all warm and cozy on the inside.

Review: “I am loving the body cleanser. It is creamy and it feels very moisturizing. The Monaco scent is lovely, and I layer it with the Monaco body cream. The only issue I have is that the pump will not release to its full height, so it is difficult to put the cleanser on my loofah.” — Evolvetogether

Bar soap is back, baby. I am super dry in the winter, so I try to use this gentle exfoliating soap once every two showers. I particularly like to use it on my heels, which get pretty rough and cracked this time of year. Despite being an exfoliant (this is powered by coconut shells), it leaves my skin incredibly soft and hydrated thanks to shea butter, mururu butter, and olive oil.

Review: “Great exfoliating soap that lathers well and has nice subtle scent. It is not harsh on the skin, so don’t expect a rough exfoliation. It seems good for total body use ( excluding face) and even daily use.” — Evolvetogether

To know me is to know that I take lip balm more seriously than any human should. I am a collector who just so happens to hate having chapped lips. This is my go-to right before I apply my lipstick. It’s not too shiny or goopy, but still smooths over cracks and creates a solid barrier between my lip and any drying ingredients or harsh winds. I’m partial to the lavender chamomile scent—it’s soft, calming, and frankly tastes delicious. (Although, if it has to be said, don’t actually eat your lip balm.)

Review: “I love this lip balm! It feels incredibly smooth and hydrating without being heavy or sticky, and it leaves my lips feeling soft for hours. The Provence scent is subtle and elevated, and I love the simple packaging—it’s one of those everyday essentials that feels a little luxurious. I’ve been keeping it with me everywhere and will definitely repurchase.” — Evolvetogether

Since the brand’s origin story goes back to COVID, it’s not a big surprise that their hand sanitizers are some of their best sellers. It’s easy to see why: they’re super aesthetic (how cute is this spray bottle?) and are formulated with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and aloe vera, which is very appreciated when you’re trying to de-germ without feeling dry and riddled with eczema flares.

Review: “I was looking for a hand sanitizer that’s small, matches my aesthetic, and smells good ! This one definitely has all of that while also using clean ingredients which is such a plus ! Love how it comes with refills as well !” — Evolvetogether
