Penhaligon’s The Cut is much more than a fragrance: it’s a gesture of style.
Inspired by the sartorial art of Savile Row, this elegant fougère is designed for those who dress with character and precision—for those who choose every detail with the care of a tailor. It’s the fragrance of someone who doesn’t simply wear perfume… they wear their identity.

Like a pair of scissors gliding through fine fabric, The Cut celebrates the perfect moment when form meets substance. Its name evokes craftsmanship, proportion, and the decisive gesture that brings an impeccable garment to life.
In the same way, each note in this composition speaks of harmony between discipline and freedom, between tradition and modernity.

The opening is bright and sharp, with mint oil and basil lending a crisp, sophisticated freshness. At its heart, lavender, clary sage, and cypress add balance and depth, recalling the subtle scent of fabrics and London ateliers.
Finally, base notes of vetiver, balsam fir, and cedarwood give the fragrance a warm, woody elegance—wrapping the wearer like a perfectly tailored jacket.

The Cut is the quintessence of British elegance reinterpreted with a contemporary spirit. A fragrance for those who recognize beauty in precision, luxury in discretion, and style in consistency.
