The scent leans fully into Mug Root [Beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/branded-dna-kit) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-tote-bundle) 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.
