Handmade Stuga Australian perfume bottles on linen with eucalyptus — gift ideas
Not sure what they’d like?

Start with a 10 ml. It’s the easiest gift to get right.

The 10 ml Traveller is $35 of full-strength perfume — a couple of weeks of daily wear, enough for them to properly fall for a scent. Every Stuga perfume is unisex, so even if you’re not sure of their taste, a 10 ml in a scent they’ll like is hard to get wrong.

Perfume gift sets

Giving perfume without guessing their taste.

Fragrance is the hardest gift there is, because you are guessing at something you cannot describe and they cannot return politely. A perfume discovery set removes the guess: five scents grouped by family, so you pick the direction and they pick the bottle. It arrives as five things to open rather than one, and the full size is waiting behind whichever they fall for.

A perfume gift set for him

Woods, or Amber & Spice. Woods is the safer of the two — warm and wearable year round. Amber & Spice is the evening one: oud, tobacco and leather.

A perfume gift set for her

Vanilla & Sweet holds the most-bought scent in the range and is the easiest set to give. Fresh is the one nobody has ever disliked.

Shop women's perfume

No idea at all

Read the house, not the person. Candles and baking point to Vanilla & Sweet. Dark clothes and good boots point to Amber & Spice. Outdoorsy points to Woods or Fresh.

Why a Stuga gift
01

Actually handmade

Made by one person in a Moss Vale studio — not an imported product with an Australian label stuck on.

02

The 10 ml is a real format

$35 of full-strength perfume, not a sample. A couple of weeks’ wear — long enough to fall for it.

03

Every perfume is unisex

Buy with confidence for him or her. If you have any sense of their taste, you can’t go far wrong.

04

Boxed, ready to give

Kits and gift sets arrive in a proper box — not a satchel of loose bits — and you can add free ribbon wrapping when you order.

05

Made fresh, not warehoused

Oils are blended to order in small batches, not pulled off a shelf where they’ve sat for a year.

06

They won’t already own it

Nobody’s already got a handmade Australian perfume or a handmade timber shaving brush. It lands as something new.

The practical bits

Free shipping over $99

Within Australia. Most kits and gift sets qualify.

Every perfume is unisex

Fresh, woody, floral or sweet — and any of them works for him or her. No his-or-hers guesswork.

Free ribbon wrapping

We’ll ribbon-wrap your kit free of charge — just pick it from the dropdown when you order.

Dispatched in 1–2 days

Posted from Moss Vale. Need it for a date? Leave a note and we’ll do our best.

The no-guess option

Or let them choose: the gift card.

From $50 to $500, emailed straight to them on the day you choose — with your own message — or sent to you to hand over. It never expires, and it works on everything made in the workshop.

Made by one person

If you want to know who you’re giving something from.

I’m Nicklas. Every soap, perfume, brush and balm in the range is made by hand in one Southern Highlands studio. If that matters to you, the back story is on the maker page.
