Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. But then whenever a new SKU shows up, we grab some of the fakes, we grab some of the reels, we train it on the new SKU. And then now there's a device that can tell them apart.

The first investor prospectus that we made, the double-edged sword was like, okay, so like we have this entire space to ourselves. Now the risk is, how do you focus? This is kind of like a piece of history here, Plum 1.0. This was the first scent that was teleported. So the first scent to be digitized and then reconstituted in another place.

And what we've done with this, and I will show you the vial here, is this is the essence of a fresh summer plum. And in this vial, this kind of clear liquid is probably thousands or tens of thousands of sniffs worth of this one moment of biting into a fresh summer plum. And what we're showing here is literally everything, the source code of that memory, of that scent experience.

So I want you to smell it. So I've already dipped some in the vial, so I just put the blotter into the vial. But close your eyes and think of biting into a fresh summer plum.

Right? Did we get it?

So this is, I think, a piece of history. And we only made 100 of these, but I'd like you to have one. Oh, wow. Amazing. It's important to me, what we've done. And I think, you know, it's just a plum today, but it's a lot more that we're doing in the future. So one thing that we're doing... is we're launching a new kind of fragrance house called Generation.

And the idea is to take all the technology that we've built, but also all the humanity, the people, the perfumers, the noses, and to combine that in a new way of designing scents for people who might not have been able to have access to designing a new scent or haven't been able to do it fast enough. And so that's called Generation, and that's something that we're just now launching. So

What we're doing with this scent is this is a scent that we custom designed for a creator. So someone who has a very large active audience on Instagram, has like a really great rapport and a brand, frankly, but what she doesn't have access to is a way of creating her own product that is resonant with her values, but also just straight up beautiful.

And so what we're able to do is take all of our technology, take our perfumery, and what we've done in very short order is design her a fragrance and we're going to help her launch it. And so part of the value proposition of generation is do you want to launch a fragrance? Do you have a place to put it in front of people but you're missing all the pieces?
