Picture: Drake, Instagram
You’ve seen the 50,000-square-foot Toronto mansion where Drake rests his head in the pages of AD, and soon you'll be able to fill your home with the aroma of the multiplatinum rapper. The man known on Instagram as @champagnepapi has teamed up with perfumer Michael Carby to create a line of scented candles called Better World Fragrance House, and one of the five scents is described as being a blend of “musk, ambers, cashmere, suede, and velvet,” which “actually smells like Drake—it’s the personal fragrance he wears, which inspired BWFH.”
So far there hasn't been any word about when exactly the candles will become available, but last month they quietly popped up for sale on Revolve.com along with a video of a panel discussion featuring Carby. As of now, all five scents—Williamsburg Forever, Sweeter Tings, Muskoka, Good Thoughts, and Carby Musk (a.k.a the Drake smell)—are all sold out, and the landing page specifies that the offering was a limited sneak peek.
The lucky souls who caught the Revolve sale are not the only ones already inhaling the sweet scent of Drake. The Cut reports that the “Laugh Now Cry Later” rapper and native Canadian sent candles to various members of the Toronto Raptors basketball team when they entered the NBA bubble in Florida in July, with the team’s official Twitter handle sending out a message of appreciation.

The pictures in the Tweet show that the dark blue packaging of the candles lends itself to being personalized. Under each scent name is the word "for" and then a space where you can write the name of the person to whom you are giving the candle. Leave it to Drake to be so thoughtful.
