I actually missed his cologne, 331 00:15:37,305 --> 00:15:40,185 Speaker 3: like the scent of you know him. And I was 332 00:15:40,265 --> 00:15:43,665 Speaker 3: walking through the now defunct Jeffrey's department store, which was 333 00:15:43,705 --> 00:15:46,505 Speaker 3: like an iconic department store in New York on Fourteenth Street, 334 00:15:47,105 --> 00:15:49,785 Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, I missus, Frank, I miss 335 00:15:49,785 --> 00:15:53,345 Speaker 3: his column boyfriend. I'm like boyfriend, Oh my god, I 336 00:15:53,345 --> 00:15:56,105 Speaker 3: miss I missed my boyfriend. I missed my boyfriend friend 337 00:15:56,105 --> 00:15:58,385 Speaker 3: and my boyfriend. What a great idea for a fragrance, 338 00:15:58,425 --> 00:16:01,665 Speaker 3: Like what a great name boyfriend. Just the stories of 339 00:16:01,705 --> 00:16:03,305 Speaker 3: it were great for me. I was like, oh my god, 340 00:16:03,305 --> 00:16:05,705 Speaker 3: everyone loves my boyfriend. One wants my boyfriend, my mom 341 00:16:05,745 --> 00:16:08,785 Speaker 3: loves my boyfriend, my husband loves my boyfriend. Everybody you know. 342 00:16:08,865 --> 00:16:11,305 Speaker 3: I was just thinking of these taglines and the creative 343 00:16:11,305 --> 00:16:15,145 Speaker 3: aspect but the idea wouldn't leave me alone. So I 344 00:16:15,265 --> 00:16:19,145 Speaker 3: just called to see if the IP was available and 345 00:16:19,785 --> 00:16:21,745 Speaker 3: it was. My lawyer checked it. I was like, neck, 346 00:16:21,825 --> 00:16:24,945 Speaker 3: I'm like, what boyfriend's available? Like how could I even be? 347 00:16:25,385 --> 00:16:28,465 Speaker 3: And this was about a few years into my tenure 348 00:16:28,545 --> 00:16:31,305 Speaker 3: on private practice, and I had a ton of energy 349 00:16:31,425 --> 00:16:32,585 Speaker 3: and I wasn't I'm not going to say I was 350 00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:35,025 Speaker 3: bored playing Adison, but I knew the part pretty well 351 00:16:35,585 --> 00:16:39,505 Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm going to make this. So 352 00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:41,865 Speaker 3: we put a whole pitch deck together and I went 353 00:16:41,905 --> 00:16:44,185 Speaker 3: to HSN at the time and so four at the 354 00:16:44,225 --> 00:16:46,665 Speaker 3: time and sold the idea in the room. And the 355 00:16:46,745 --> 00:16:50,025 Speaker 3: idea was that I would have boyfriend and then other 356 00:16:50,105 --> 00:16:53,665 Speaker 3: boyfriends and Brent and then expanding the line, but each 357 00:16:53,705 --> 00:16:57,185 Speaker 3: boyfriend would hit a certain olfactive category. And so we 358 00:16:57,625 --> 00:17:00,545 Speaker 3: just recently have finally come good on that with our 359 00:17:00,585 --> 00:17:03,785 Speaker 3: two new boyfriends that are inspired by Australia. Ones called 360 00:17:03,825 --> 00:17:07,025 Speaker 3: down Under literally and the other ones called morning Wood. 361 00:17:07,065 --> 00:17:08,305 Speaker 4: Is just a pole. 362 00:17:08,905 --> 00:17:11,825 Speaker 3: But really what I ended up with, what I wanted 363 00:17:12,225 --> 00:17:15,545 Speaker 3: was a fragrance that was a mix of At that time, 364 00:17:15,545 --> 00:17:20,105 Speaker 3: it was deemed masculine and feminine, like woods and florals together, 365 00:17:20,265 --> 00:17:23,105 Speaker 3: so the memory of him, if you will, on your 366 00:17:23,145 --> 00:17:25,865 Speaker 3: skin or on the sheets or on So it's a 367 00:17:25,945 --> 00:17:32,225 Speaker 3: really gorgeous, juicy, beautiful.
