Mug is stepping into the fragrance world with a humorous launch, debuting Daddy’s Home by Mug, a limited-edition unisex cologne inspired by the brand’s beloved mascot and “chief sniffer,” named Dog. The scent leans fully into Mug Root Beer nostalgia, opening with the aroma of a freshly cracked can and layering in warm cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, and caramel for a cozy, gourmand finish.
The cologne is sold exclusively through the brand’s TikTok Shop as part of a $15 gift bundle that includes a 10-pack of Mug Root Beer Mini Cans and the collectible fragrance. 200 of the bottles will be released with a custom gold Dog-shaped cap, making this one of the brand's rarest drops. Daddy’s Home goes on sale the week of Dec. 8 and will remain available only while supplies last.
