Many Drake fans are buzzing about his upcoming solo project, but for now, he’s making waves with his new fragrance, Summer Mink.
This scent, under his lifestyle brand Better World Fragrance House, marks the label’s first foray into fragrances and is priced at $148. You can find it online and at Ulta Beauty stores starting May 12.
Drake is promoting Summer Mink with a fun commercial that shows his creative process. In the ad, he excitedly reacts to the final blend, saying, “F–k. F–k, that’s good. That’s it.”
On social media, fans have been quick to share their thoughts. One Instagram user commented, “Bruh actually a good actor you can tell he be having fun doing this,” while another wrote, “Drake we need the album ASAP. I got enemies and fine shyts waiting on me to pop up.”
The fragrance was developed with Michael Carby, a senior perfumer at Givaudan. Carby explained that Summer Mink is all about balance, combining warm, creamy notes with cold spices and bright citruses. He aims to reflect a global culture, embracing a vision of a “Better World.”
Interestingly, the fragrance market has been growing steadily, with recent reports indicating a 6% rise in sales over the past year. Consumers are increasingly interested in luxury scents, showing a trend toward personal expression through fragrances.
As Drake expands his brand into this new territory, he joins a line of celebrities like Rihanna and Ariana Grande, who have also successfully launched their own fragrances. The blending of music and luxury experiences is not just a trend; it’s a way for artists to connect more deeply with their fans.
