I like Brut. The commercials are irrelevant.
This commercial for Brut cologne would spark controversy if it were aired today.

Just shows how commercials can manufacture an image for a product.
I grew up largely oblivious to Brut. When I first tried it, I liked it, but did not think of it as the most manly fragrance. How can Jasmine and Ylang Ylang be something football players and bikers would wear? Marketing.
If you want a fragrance that reeks toxic masculinity, I had a few bottles of American Chopper I got at a discount store once. It smells like leather and black pepper.
No company in their right mind would air a commercial with that message today. They would be vilified and trashed by the mentally ill mainstream media. The feminazis would demand the resignation of anyone involved in the production of the commercial. Boycotts would be organized. Psychiatrists would make a fortune treating all the softies whose feelings were hurt or offended.
I like it! 
Somehow I kind of feel that it wouldn't be too bad a decision to buy a bottle of Brut, even though I detest the scent.
Worked for me, but then I was only 16 and it only happened once lol...
Men are whatever women need us to be.. so if we're not what they want, they only have themselves to blame.

((I remember this commercial, and I probably thought at the time, "oh, this is just a stupid commercial" and didn't give it a 2nd thought...))

That's what they call "the performativity of gender roles" now days.
