| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Fat Mascara. I'm Jen. I'm Jess. It's our beauty podcast and we do |
| 0:12.8 | interviews with important beauty people or interesting people that we discover on our beauty travels. |
| 0:18.8 | I wish I could have been here for your interview with this particular duo of people, |
| 0:24.8 | but you handled it by yourself. You want to explain who's here because I actually have a side note |
| 0:29.6 | that I'm a bit of a fan. I was so excited to invite Fisherson into the studio. Fisherson is a family |
| 0:35.8 | run per fumery. It's an art collective. And you know who I had here? I had Yonsey Bergerson and |
| 0:43.6 | his sister Lila Bergerstauter. And they are part of Fisherson. I know that name. This is why I could |
| 0:51.9 | not believe when you put this together. When you told me about this fragrance company and I was |
| 0:55.6 | like, why does that name sound familiar? He's the musician from Seagarross. No. Yes. Yes. |
| 1:03.1 | When I visited Iceland, I discovered Seagarross because I had a driver and he had it on. And I was |

| 1:25.7 | through the forest, put on some Seagarross and like transforms the landscape that you're looking to. |
| 1:30.5 | To like hear that music, I can't even imagine that the brains that that came out of making perfume. |
| 1:35.8 | It's so perfect in my mind. It's very emotional. It's very cinematic. It's very atmospheric. |
| 1:43.0 | Oh, atmospheric. It's very atmospheric. And yeah, it makes perfect sense that this |
| 1:48.8 | mind would also create fragrances. The family's incredible. They're all very creative. |
| 1:54.9 | That you'll listen to. The mother does this. This sister does this. This person does design. |
| 1:59.0 | It's like they all work in tandem. They all have different roles. It almost reminds you of the |
| 2:04.9 | olden days when the family all worked together and the child was making these shoes and the dad |
| 2:12.5 | was doing it. Like they all work as a family. That's beautiful. It's really beautiful. So |
