Filippo Sorcinelli is an Italian perfumer known for unconventional compositions that prioritize raw materials and structural complexity over commercial appeal. His fragrances often challenge traditional fragrance categories, working within niche distribution and small production batches.

But Not Today opens with a sharp aromatic burst of artemisia, lavender, bergamot, and lemon that feels herbaceous and slightly herbal-green rather than citrus-forward. The heart reveals calamus and cascarilla, which add a spiced, slightly woody quality that deepens the aromatic profile. The base is where the composition anchors itself with oak moss, sandalwood, amber, and musk, creating an earthy, resinous foundation that's distinctly dry and textured. The overall DNA is aromatic-woody with amber undertones, leaning herbaceous and mineral rather than sweet or sensual.

This extrait concentration is best suited to someone seeking an assertive, non-linear fragrance that develops over time. It works for everyday wear but rewards close attention rather than providing obvious crowd-pleasing notes. The scent aligns with The Homesteader, The Tactician, and The Sensualist archetypes.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Artemisia
Artemisia
The wormwood family, artemisia adds a dry, herbal, slightly bitter greenness that evokes wild Mediterranean hillsides and ancient apothecaries. It's the botanical that gives absinthe its distinctive aura. In perfumery it grounds compositions in something honest and slightly difficult, which makes them feel more real.
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Calamus
Calamus
The rhizome of sweet flag, an ancient aromatic plant used in perfumery for millennia. Calamus has a complex, slightly sweet, spicy, and earthy character with a warm, slightly medicinal quality. It was a key ingredient in ancient incense and perfume formulas. Today it adds a historical depth and complexity to oriental and woody compositions.
Cascarilla
Cascarilla
Rosemary
Rosemary
Herbal, camphorous, and slightly pine-like, rosemary is a Mediterranean herb with a clean, almost medicinal crispness. It adds freshness and a culinary familiarity to fragrances, grounding more abstract notes in something real. A pillar of classic fougère (fern) fragrances and modern herbal compositions.
Styrax
Styrax
A complex resin with both balsamic-sweet and slightly rubbery, leathery facets, styrax adds a dense, heavy warmth to oriental fragrances. It has an almost tar-like quality that, in context, creates depth and presence. One of the oldest perfumery ingredients, it anchors many classic oriental bases.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Angelica
Angelica
Complex, musky, and slightly earthy, angelica root has a unique profile that sits between herbs, earth, and musk. It was historically used as a fixative and still adds a deep, rooty quality that grounds and extends other notes. Angelica seed is slightly citrusy; the root is darker and more complex. A note beloved by niche perfumers.
Galbanum
Galbanum
One of perfumery's oldest raw materials, a bitter, intensely green resin with a cut-grass, slightly medicinal quality. It's the note that gives vintage green chypres their sharp, naturalistic edge. Galbanum alone is almost unpleasantly aggressive, but in a composition it adds a vivid green freshness that nothing else can match.
oak moss
oak moss
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Resin
Resin
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
