Pursuit — a place you cannot remember
Updated: Aug 31
Chilini Private
He lived among people who always knew what they wanted. The wants arrived ready-made, and he followed them, taking them for his own will. One day he saw how little will there was in it. The niche fragrance Pursuit by Edgardio Chilini is a protest against that planting. It was inspired by a Gesaffelstein clip.
When they ask what it smells of, he says: a place I cannot remember. It feels as if you have already stood there. The city does not come back. That is enough for him. Not everyone will choose to wear it. Private collection.
Reality is clay with raisins. A man presses on the clay picture that appears, called «the world». He wants to dig out a few tasty crumbs for himself, and on that picture towers fall, ships sink, empires and civilizations perish. But usually someone else has already seen it. Victor Pelevin
What sets it apart
A protest against imposed wants. It smells of a place you cannot remember, though it feels as if you have already stood there.
