Filippo Sorcinelli But Not Today is a fragrance that exists beyond the usual perfume experience. It does not try to be pleasant, cosy or ‘comfortable’ — on the contrary, it encourages us to feel what we usually hide. It is a provocative, dark, uncompromising composition, created on the border between art and revelation.

Inspired by the film Hannibal and the symbolic combination of beauty and cruelty, But Not Today conveys the atmosphere of red velvet, cold steel and traces of forbidden desire. It is a fragrance that speaks with the voice of instinct.

The first wave is a sharp, almost dagger-like accord of metal and leather, creating the effect of a cold surface on which flashes of red spices flicker. It feels like the tension before the action, like the moment when your breath is held.

Then the heart unfolds, filled with dark, almost animalistic nuances: thick jasmine, a slightly smoky accord of balms and a moist, dense hint of earth. Here, the fragrance takes on a pulsating, intimate depth — like the flip side of human nature.

The base notes are a combination of rich leather, resins, wood and warm, almost carnal musk. The trail is sensual, heavy, magnetic: it envelops you, but does not let you forget. It is a fragrance that remains in the memory as stubbornly as the echo of emotions that we try not to voice.

For those who are not afraid of darkness — within themselves and in art. For collectors who appreciate conceptuality, boldness and perfumery provocations.

But Not Today is not about everyday life. It is a perfume-experience, a perfume-manifesto.
