<v Speaker 1>Oh fantastic? Oh, this is this the new fragrance by

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the way, So I had heard this. Sebastian has pivoted

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>from music. He's pivoting.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>He missed out, he missed out on Tesla shares, he

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 2>missed out on man shares. So he's decided that he's

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>going to do this is this is your fragrance, this

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>is mine? Yeah, you just had When when did you

0:01:58.520 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>come up.

0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>With that idea?

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 4>So I did a couple for Chemists Warehouse for they

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 4>were female sense and then the pressure was on for

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 4>the It was the masculine one that I was feeling

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.239
<v Speaker 4>most nervous about because I'm I'm obsessed with smelling good.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Your style is smelling good? Guy, Well, I my dad.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 4>He was always smelling good. So my dad was like

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 4>a fly and fly out worker. He'd go and work

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 4>in the minds are an oil. He was a geologist

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 4>and and I just always remember dad smelling amazing.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 3>So I've named this. I've after Ivan is my dad

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 3>and used to.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>So the fragrance is because I did see that you

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>had a new fraime and I wasn't sure if it

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>was Eve or I.

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:41.000

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 3>it's I've done it. Doubt yourself.

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 4>You think it's cool, Yeah, but it's very Look, it's

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 4>wanting to create something that was different. It's if it's

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 4>a genre, I wouldn't say I his pop.

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.560

<v Speaker 4>loose and I and I only had one interview for

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:25.680

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 2>that's a testimony to you. No.

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 4>But then all I remember was getting in the car afterwards,

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, I put my feet up like

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 4>I think, I put my feet up on the table like.

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I just you know, I thought you must feel very comfortable.

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought you must have been very comfortable, feeling very

0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 2>at home.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I like to make everyone who can on Toto the show,

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.200

<v Speaker 1>I love that old school stuff.

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 3>It's so cool, it's so nostalgic.

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Like even I was in Adelaide for a few hours

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 4>doing an Adelaide signing at a Westfield and then these

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 4>kids coming up and they're so confused what this thing

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 4>is and it's like a CD and they've never seen

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 4>them before.

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.599
