Men's Cologne

Every Stuga fragrance is blended without a gender in mind — these are simply the scents men reach for most, and every one of them is worn by everyone. New to it? Start with Phantom: clean, sharp and the one that suits almost anyone. If it's not quite right, go darker with Obsidian. If it's too heavy, go lighter with Eclipse. That's the same way we'd walk you through it across the table. All at 20–25% concentration, with 10ml Travellers from $35.

How Long Should a Cologne Last?

Longevity comes down to concentration — how much fragrance oil is actually in the bottle. Most designer colognes sit between 15 and 20%. An eau de toilette can be as low as 5%. Every Stuga scent is blended at 20–25%, which is why a long-lasting cologne shouldn't need topping up at lunchtime. The roll-on oil lasts longest of the three formats, because there's no alcohol in it to flash off.

Pick by Scent, Not by Label

Cologne Oils and Alcohol-Free Sprays

Every scent comes three ways at the same strength: classic eau de parfum spray, alcohol-free spray, or roll-on cologne oil. The oil sits closer to the skin and lasts longest. The alcohol-free spray suits sensitive skin and won't sting straight after a shave. Same blend in all three — only the carrier changes.

Cologne as a Gift

The 10ml Traveller ($35) is the honest way to gift fragrance you haven't smelled on the person. Full strength, a few weeks of wear, and nobody blind-buys a 50ml bottle for someone whose taste they're guessing at. Works just as well if you're buying for yourself and can't decide.

“Men's” Is Where You Start, Not Who It's For

Nothing on this page is formulated for men. These are the scents men pick most often, which is a different claim entirely. Obsidian — the darkest, oudh-heaviest thing in the range — sells heavily to women. Ember sells about evenly. If a scent works on your skin, it's yours. Here's why we don't split fragrance by gender — and the women's page is the same idea from the other side.
