Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

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.

Best 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.

About

The Cut Eau de Parfum by Penhaligon's opens with a rush of peppermint and clary sage, delivering a brisk, green energy that feels like a spring morning after rain. Basil and lavender add an aromatic, slightly floral facet, while fir balsam, cypress, and woods conjure a walk through sun-dappled forests. The drydown is clean and resinous, blending cedar and vetiver for a subtle, lingering trail. Vibrant and naturalistic, The Cut balances herbal freshness with a tranquil woody core.
