The Cut by Penhaligon's, as a decant
The Cut by Penhaligon's is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
The notes of The Cut are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like The Cut, and we note it. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Penhaligon's The Cut, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties The Cut to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide.
There is no audience on file for The Cut, which leaves it open to anyone curious. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. Filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us: a decant, not an official brand sample. We are not affiliated with Penhaligon's. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants The Cut from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Penhaligon's The Cut, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
Penhaligon's has 'British Perfumers, Established 1870' in its header and a royal warrant crest in its logo, and it sorts its perfumes like a library: Portraits with their figurine-topped bottles, Trade Routes, British Tales. The house itself shows only three key notes per fragrance, so descriptions stay brief and characters do the talking. Whether Lord George or Halfeti suits you is a question for your skin, and a 10 ml decant answers it.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
