But Not Today

First you laugh because you realize you've been tricked into spraying yourself with tiger urine. Next it smells like something is growing on you, on your rotting flesh that just started rotting where you just sprayed. Then you smell like the jungle floor after the battle of the apes and the snakes for a while. It really reeks. But you stick your nose in it because it reeks so good.

My instant reaction was strong disgust but with good humor. "Oh! Why would people smell this on purpose?" I think it's bad and I hate it and everyone should hate this perfume. And find it comically funny at the same time.

The name "But Not Today" describes the signal this scent sends: yes, let's do it, but I need to be disinfected first.

I'm smelling it on myself, hunting for what I hate about it, and everything that I can find is something I like. I'm disappointed when I can't find a single thing I don't like. It's just too many things clashing, harmonies interrupted by dissonant yet beautiful notes. This perfume dries in so many stages, the waxing and waning notes making a chord progression through alternating phases of tension and release, it's a rhapsody.

I need more time with this one. "But Not Today" is a hint that there is more to this fragrance than can be grasped in one day.

I’m not exactly getting Hannibal here. It opens up sticky sweet, like maple syrup, then moves on to a base of herbal that gets close to musty animalic. It’s layered but doesn’t quite hit the mark.
I’ve been going down the list of challenging scents and this was underwhelming. I was told that it smells like blood and razors, but I think Inexcusable Evil did a much better job of depicting that theme.

Smells like an herb garden on an overcast day. I don’t get any of the decay or other eerie notes people attribute to this fragrance, just a nice, if intense, earthy herbal.

Well packaged and delivered quickly!

I really can’t tell the blood smells like that, but who you really try to impress if you smell like a raw steak? Maybe a neighbors dog will be more appreciated than your gf?

The longer I wore it, the more I loved it. Every time I smelled it I felt like I was transported into an ancient cathedral.

Smells like blood.

I can smell all the herbal scents mentioned in the notes very strongly, but there is also something intimate. Like being up close to the neck of a man who is wearing these scents.

Death and decay

Love this, but it somehow feels incomplete. I'm not sure what that is so I'm experimenting with layering until I find the right note. Smells dark and dusty, like an old home where no one has been living for a while. It's kind of mysterious and is a great scent for a gloomy day. Unlike a lot of other reviews I've read, this fragrance does not smell alarming or creepy in any way to my nose. I say give a decant a try but it's not full size blind buy safe.

This fragrance absolutely makes me gag and I find it unwearable for the first 6 hours. This juice has LONGEVITY and after about 12 hours dries down to a very tame leather scent. While I personally hate this fragrance I do give it 5 stars because of the longevity, complexity and successful formulation: it truly does smell like how I imagine Hannibal’s mind would smell. Undeniably classy and sophisticated, but something is OFF.
My impression is: old man who is near death or is emitting a sickly sweet old person smell, wearing a leather smoking jacket and standing way too close to you…breathing on you…and one or more of his teeth may be rotting. 10/10 but absolutely would not wear this.
