Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - But Not Today Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. It absolutely lives up to its 'Hannibal' inspiration, delivering a polarising blend of elegant florals and deeply unsettling notes. Expect compliments or utter revulsion - there's no in-between.

Our Verdict - de Jacomo Eau de Parfum
Jacomo de Jacomo is a divisive, full-throttle 80s powerhouse. It's not for the faint of heart, blending pungent spice and smoke with a rugged masculinity many adore, and others detest. This one's an acquired taste, darling.

Season and Occasion Fit

But Not Today Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Given its intense character, strong projection, and divisive scent profile, this is emphatically not an office scent. It leans more towards a bold statement for dates, formal evening events, or niche gatherings where its artistic merit can be appreciated, though its unsettling nature makes it a challenging wear for most casual scenarios.

de Jacomo Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its potent, assertive character and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but ideal for formal occasions where its masculine depth can shine. While too heavy for casual daytime use, it could work for an evening out, though it's hardly romantic in a conventional sense.
