Edgardio Chilini, Masculism, woody special fragrance

Male identity

Niche fragrance Masculism is rich and complex. He is changing, playing with different faces and presents pleasant surprises.

The boy escapes into the male world, into masculinity, into power. The availability of this choice for him is determined by the social assessment of his anatomy. Today it is the only way of salvation indicated on the map so as not to remain in the status of a child. The boy must build a masculine identity - a castle with blank walls and an impenetrable moat. Whatever style of self-expression he has chosen, the boy becomes belligerent in his masculinity, fierce, stubborn, stagnant, immune to humor. His fear of men turns into aggression towards women. He keeps women at an irresistible distance. He learns to be a man, and the first rule of masculinity states that no matter what he is, women cannot be.

Men become apologists for what they fear more than anything else. Confessing violence, they overcome their fear of it. Overcoming fear, they gain a sense of freedom. Some men will use language, money, religion, science or authority as instruments of violence. Men are distinguished from women by their willingness to commit violence so as not to become victims themselves. Men renounce everything that only they have in common with women, so as not to experience any generality with them.
