Summer Mink and Cloudar bring two very different sides of Drake’s fragrance brand to Sephora Canada.
Drake has built an empire spanning music, fashion and culture, and now one of his more personal ventures has finally made its way home.
Better World Fragrance House, the fragrance and lifestyle brand founded by the Toronto-born artist, has officially launched in Canada with two Eau de Parfums, Summer Mink and Cloudar. Both are now available exclusively at select Sephora Canada stores and Sephora.ca.
Created with perfumer Michael Carby, both fragrances are unisex and designed to be worn by anyone. Summer Mink is the warmer, richer option, while Cloudar is lighter, cleaner and fresher. Both are also impressively long-wearing, lingering on the skin well after the first spray. Better World Fragrance House leans into sleek, sculptural packaging and scents that feel polished without trying too hard.
Summer Mink is warm, smooth and a little more dressed up
Summer Mink was Drake’s first Eau de Parfum, and even the name gives you a pretty good idea of what the fragrance is trying to do.
Inspired by the contradiction of wearing something as luxurious as mink in the middle of summer, it blends warm, creamy notes with cooler spices and brighter citrus.
On skin, Summer Mink feels warm, smooth and elevated. It has more depth and sensuality than Cloudar without becoming overly heavy or sweet, and it wears particularly well if you gravitate toward richer fragrances.
This is the choice for someone who likes warm woods, amber fragrances and scents with a little more presence. It feels especially suited to evenings, cooler weather or anytime you want something a little more dressed up.
There’s also something very Drake about it. It feels polished, indulgent and slightly unexpected, but still wearable enough to reach for regularly.
Cloudar is fresh, light and easy to wear
Cloudar takes things in the opposite direction.
The fragrance is woody and aromatic, opening with a brighter freshness before moving into a softer floral heart and smooth base.
Our first impression was simple: fresh, light and clean.
It has that crisp, just-showered quality that makes it incredibly easy to wear, but it still has enough staying power that it doesn’t disappear shortly after spraying.
If you normally like clean musks, fresh woods or lighter fragrances, Cloudar is a great choice. It’s subtle, easygoing and the kind of scent you could wear every day without thinking too much about it.
If Summer Mink feels like the evening fragrance, Cloudar is the effortless daytime option.
The packaging is part of the appeal
Better World Fragrance House also has one of the more distinctive bottle designs in the celebrity fragrance space.
Both scents come in the brand’s signature spherical bottle, which makes them feel more like small design objects than traditional perfume bottles.
Cloudar comes in an opaque cream finish that ties into the soft, cloud-like feel of the fragrance, while the rounded shape gives the entire line an instantly recognizable look.
It’s minimal and modern, and it stands out without needing Drake’s name plastered across the bottle.
So, which one is for you?
Both Summer Mink and Cloudar are unisex, so the choice really comes down to what you like to smell like.
If you prefer warm, smooth and richer fragrances with more depth, start with Summer Mink.
If your taste leans fresh, light and clean, Cloudar is probably the better match.
They’re different enough that there’s a clear reason to try both, and now that Better World Fragrance House has officially arrived in Canada, you can actually smell them in person before choosing your favourite.
Better World Fragrance House Summer Mink and Cloudar are available now at select Sephora Canada locations and Sephora.ca.
