Filippo Sorcinelli But Not Today is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. But Not Today opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Styrax, Rosemary, Cascarilla, and Calamus, and dries down to a base of Angelica, Musk, Resin, and Amber. Filippo Sorcinelli's But Not Today carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.

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.

About

But Not Today opens with a sharp, herbal blast of artemisia and tart lemon, quickly undercut by a whisper of lavender. As it develops, a complex heart of green galbanum, aromatic rosemary, and a subtle spice unfolds. The base is an intricate tapestry of earthy oakmoss, warm amber, and animalic musk, creating a strangely compelling and deeply unsettling aroma. It's a scent that conjures images of sterile metal, dried flora, and something darkly human.
