A year after launching the Carby Musk perfume oil, Better World Fragrance House, better known as the Drake perfume brand, has launched another perfume. This one is a spray, and has a unique presentation. It would be nearly impossible for a perfumer to produce two hits in a row, and Summer Mink is a disappointment. ⠀
It opens with a citrus accord that reminds me of orange juice, syrupy sweet and tart, on a base of generic amber woods. This is mass appealing in the way that it smells like the perfume section of a department store or a gaggle of teenage boys at the mall. While the opening and sweetness is feminine, the dry down is masculine and sticks around for hours and hours. It feels like AI tried to make a unisex perfume and smooshed together elements from best-sellers in both categories so here we are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a safe blind-buy if you like the mainstream perfumes of today. I’m still a fan of Carby Musk and the candles from this brand – there still nothing out there that smells quite that good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
