The Cut

The Cut by Penhaligon's, released in 2025, is a woody aromatic fragrance built on herbs and conifers. It is crisp, clean and refined, like a well-tailored suit.

The composition has seven notes, listed together. Mint gives a cool, fresh lift. Lavender, basil and clary sage add a clean, herbal and aromatic character, typical of classic barbershop scents. Cypress and fir bring a green, resinous and forest-like freshness, while cedar provides a dry, clean woody base.

The profile suggests a polished, everyday masculine scent. It would suit the office, smart-casual occasions and spring or autumn days, for someone who likes clean, aromatic woods with a herbal freshness rather than sweet or heavy fragrances. Penhaligon's British heritage suggests a tailored, gentlemanly character, and the name hints at precise, sharp lines. It is likely an easy choice for daily wear.
