  The Hannibal Lecter perfume, haha. No jokes, Filippo says he based it on the character and he really achieved something that makes my stomach churn. This is because it has a very marked metallic note, supposedly the blood note, and I hate that note. It’s the same blood note I detect in Secretions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d’Orange, a perfume I also despise.

  ‘But Not Today’ takes its name from a phrase Dr. Lecter says to Clarice Starling in ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, a psychopath movie that has become a classic. Perfumer Filippo Sorcinelli uses Lecter’s personality to create a conceptual fragrance about serial killers, evil, and predation. Although the movie is the reference, the opening smells more like 2000s horror cinema, like ‘Hostel’ or ‘Saw’. An industrial, metallic, cold note appears, accompanied by carnal notes like hot skin. It’s pure gore: electric saws, torture instruments, and tied-up people while a sinister figure approaches with a scalpel. The first time you smell it, your stomach turns. It’s very hard to find something that hints so majestically and realistically at an uncomfortable sensation. It’s the scent of panic, cold sweat, and goosebumps. But everything evolves in a few minutes. The horrifying sensations sink and give way to beautiful, unusual floral notes, along with a touch of sandalwood that adds soapy creaminess and some leather. The whole thing works. I disagree that it’s hard to wear, especially once it reveals its true heart. This aims to be the perfume for the unclassifiable. It’s a pure, hard-core author fragrance. In its evolution, it becomes a threatening yet hypnotic aroma, like the embodiment of that charming person who seduces you and slowly leads you into their web without you being able to avoid it, even though you know they’re dangerous and that’s precisely the emotion that attracts you. With bubble-like projection and immense longevity, it’s the ideal perfume to make a statement or express a life sense where fascination with the hidden and the dysfunctional plays an important role.

  It’s curious, but this perfume smells like spices with something hot to me. After reading reviews mentioning Hannibal Lecter, I find it hard to wear and the image of him with the mask keeps popping into my head. At some point in its evolution, I feel like my adrenaline kicks in and I get an involuntary smile when I smell it.

  I don’t know what happened here; overnight the declared notes have changed completely and no longer have anything to do with the early versions.

  It has a vintage, cold aldehydic base with animalic musks and crisp green notes. Yet the fragrance takes a very rustic path, like unpainted, splintered wood. Sometimes it’s almost fetid, but it’s a resinous, subtle kind of stench, typical of vegetation. The vintage vibe persists, surrounding that splintered roughness, just like ‘The Blair Witch Project’, enveloping everything in its dusty opulence. These are two distinct worlds mixing here, but I think they fit perfectly.

  It’s an incredibly rare perfume, almost impossible to wear. At first, it smells like blood and gives you chills, but on the skin it calms down and becomes warm and pleasant. It reminds me of a bad person who eventually finds God and turns good: it starts with malice, but later smells like church and kindness. If you’re looking to smell different, don’t care what others think, or you’re a collector, it’s worth it. But if you’re going on a first date or want to impress, forget it, because many people won’t like it.
