Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Cut Eau de Parfum

A kinetic green herbal blast, The Cut is a modern British fougere with a crisp, cooling edge and a sophisticated woody backbone. Effortlessly wearable yet distinctively natural.

Our Verdict - Russian Leather Eau de Parfum

Don't be fooled by the name - this ain't your grandad's 'Russian Leather'. It's a 'frozen fougère' that captures a cold, piney forest wonderfully, but its subtle leather accord and barbershop vibe means it's not punching above its weight in the leather category. A divisive one, with performance niggles.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Cut Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Vivid green and herbal notes with cooling peppermint make it ideal for spring and summer, while the resin and woods provide some warmth for early fall. The light, crisp freshness does not suit the coldest winter days.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its clean yet distinctive green character is perfect for office and casual wear, with moderate projection and freshness that won't overwhelm. The herbal brightness is uplifting for sport and daytime, less ideal for formal events.

Russian Leather Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its generally subdued performance and fresh, clean barbershop feel make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The sophisticated, cool aura also works for informal dates, but it may lack the gravitas required for formal events and is too subtle for active sport.
