Drake Bottles Summer Vibes And Swagger In New Fragrance Ad That’s Got Fans Talking

Honk Magazine

Drake’s got that heat for the summer, but this time, it’s not on the mic, it’s in a bottle. The music legend and cultural influencer has debuted his premiere Eau de Parfum, Summer Mink, under his Better World Fragrance House line. The scent, which retails for $148, is currently for sale on the brand’s website and will hit the shelves of Ulta Beauty stores all throughout North America beginning May 12. To mark the launch, Drake steals the spotlight. In the new ad for Summer Mink, the rapper forgoes the recording studio for a perfume lab. Dressed sharply in black, with beakers and vials as accessories, he leads viewers on a sensory adventure of discovery and scents.

“F–k. F—k, that’s good,” he says, his eyes widening and voice exuding satisfaction. “That’s it. That’s it.” It’s a raw creative breakthrough moment, rendered somehow as intimate as his music. On the Better World Fragrance House Instagram side, the comments are a mood. “Bruh actually a good actor you can tell he be having fun doing ts,” one fan wrote, reflecting the ad’s vibe. “Damn what did gambo say to drake,” said another who joked “drake we need the album asap. I got enemies, and fine shyts, waiting on me to pop up.” The juxtaposition of love for his artistry and the thirst for more music says a lot. Drake knows exactly how to keep the culture buzzing.

Behind the smell is Michael Carby, the senior perfumer at Givaudan tasked with the seemingly contradictory nature of the scent. “It was, for me, all about opposites coming together,” he says, calling it his “yin-yang principle of mixing warm, creamy base notes with cold spices and sparkling citruses.” It’s a scent meant to capture the global spirit of a better world, ambitious, but never lost in the details. With this release, Drake shows once again that he’s not just a hitmaker but a tastemaker. Summer Mink is a proclamation. And if the ad’s any indication, he had a hell of a time making it.

Honk Magazine Default

Phlo-osophy’s “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” is a thoughtful and relaxing meditation on intellect and existence, packaged with laid-back production that encourages both thought and comfort. The song starts with atmospheric synths and a low-key beat, creating a space that is the laboratory of contemplation.

Phlo-osophy’s lyrical style steers into tough concepts spontaneous physics of thought, the chemistry of emotion — and yet remains highly accessible. The production is the strength of the production: soft, warm textures, synth pads, muted guitar echoes, quiet electronic pulses, cohere into a hushed, private atmosphere.

The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
