Occasion:
After the shock of its opening, But Not Today evolves into a spicy, herbal cologne-like fragrance. It calls two scenes from the Hannibal universe to mind: Hannibal Lecter’s escape in The Silence of the Lambs (“ready when you are, Sergeant Pembry”) and all of Florence in Hannibal. Palazzo Vecchio, the pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella (via delle Scala 16), the River Arno, and many glorious Baroque visuals. A scent for lovers of the film, evocative and visceral statements, and surprising classicism. It is much more wearable than one first expects. 

Made in Italy

When Hannibal Lecter draws in a deliberate breath and murmurs to Clarice Starling, “Sometimes you wear L’Air du Temps… But not today,” it is a touching without hands; an olfactory caress. But Not Today channels the charged, unspoken bond between Hannibal the Cannibal and the determined young agent - a fragrance that feels like warm flesh and flowing blood, a turbulent and restless maelstrom that trembles on the skin.

It unfolds like the scent of raw mineral pigments, warmed by golden immortelle and cooled with bitter green galbanum, it carries the cold intensity of a gaze pressed too long against bloodied glass. Resolutely herbal, it evokes an old and traditional image of Florence - the city where Hannibal always slips just out of reach, a place of shadowed elegance and elusive danger. It unfolds into an unsettling and strangely magnetic chypre crossed with a sharp cologne, bringing bergamot, wormwood, lavender, lemon, rosemary, and mosses together. The elegant and the brutal, much like Doctor Lecter himself.
