It is the smell of the nocturnal myth, repeated in code all over the world, since ancient times. It is the ritual that allows those who are part of it to recognize themselves, consciously or not, as belonging, to have initiated it, to use it, not to be able to do without it. It is that hidden, underground space, with inaccessible and dark passages, with moldy walls and full of ephemeral pleasure, where personal stardom is abandoned to make room for one's own nakedness without ever questioning who one really is. Sexuality is a fundamental and integral part of the human being. Losing oneself in the silence of one's intimacy means being able to look beyond (Latin “transgredi”), that is, going beyond the limits of what is lawful. It is therefore right to investigate, to analyze and discover, also through smells, what is considered to be a break in a social pattern. Breaking the stereotype, and the price to pay is that of diversity. Filippo Sorcinelli opens a new collection of four fragrances with an ambiguous and graphically provocative name X SÉ ready to differentiate the man himself from the others around him. We discover ourselves and accuse ourselves, we recognize ourselves and justify ourselves, in the meanders where sexuality is regulated by fantasies and imagination; and the desire to experience a certain type of eroticism reveals an absolutely transgressive dimension in all human beings. Four smells enclosed in 30 ml bottles in “roll-on” version, experienced first of all as an intimate, isolated, silent gesture, far from false respectability. Four small sculptures, from the industrial pack and entirely handmade, also by Filippo himself, using materials usually used in the electrical and hydraulic fields. Sheaths for radiators melted with the blowtorch, other heat-shrinkable, with clear and clear colors, clamps that block latex flaps. All enclosed in "ambiguous" black boxes molded in yellow, red, black or blue that open "reveal" images and articulate the project one by one. Four perfumes for (or for?) Themselves that slowly release all their power, materializing gestures, events, places and sensations. Four profound and true analyzes, which for the first time and shamelessly recount the needs, desires and their own manifestations of human pleasure, in its complex erotic dimension, and which today has more possibilities to represent itself as "normal" or as an "extrait de perversion".
