Drake launches eau de parfum 'Summer Mink'
Better World Fragrance House, the high-end fragrance label founded by Drake, launched on Friday its first-ever eau de parfum, dubbed "Summer Mink".
Crafted in collaboration with senior perfumer Michael Carby of Givaudan, Summer Mink is an amber woody scent that invites wearers to indulge in the luxury of mink during the heat of summer.
It opens with Italian citrus, clary sage, and petitgrain, moves into jasmine sambac and rose oil spices, and finishes with base notes of vetiver, ambrofix, and musk. It comes in a globe-shaped bottle, draped in the brand's signature midnight blue.
'Summer Mink was inspired by a yin yang principle of fusing warm, creamy base notes with cold spices and sparkling citruses,' said Carby. 'The ingredient composition was uniquely crafted to reflect a multinational culture with aspirations toward a Better World.'
Now available on the brand's website and rolling out exclusively online at Ulta on May 11 and in-store nationwide on May 12, Summer Mink marks the first men's fragrance founded by a celebrity to enter Ulta Beauty's fragrance portfolio. The 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum Spray retails for $148.
'This launch marks an exciting new chapter in our partnership with Drake, driven by a shared passion for innovation, quality, and design,' added Lori Singer, president of Parlux Ltd.
'With its striking bottle and meticulously crafted scent, Summer Mink delivers a standout fragrance experience. Its exclusive nationwide debut at Ulta Beauty, across more than 1,400 doors, represents a major milestone for Better World Fragrance House—bringing Drake's vision to life for an even broader audience through a premier retail destination. We're thrilled for consumers to experience it.'

Daredevils tumble for glory at Gloucester's annual cheese-rolling race
A German YouTuber and a London thrill-seeker took top honours (and likely a few bruises) at one of Britain's most chaotic and bizarre sporting traditions: the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling Race. For the second year in a row, Munich's Tom Kopke threw caution to the wind, hurtling down the 200-yard, nearly vertical hill after a runaway wheel of Double Gloucester in front of thousands of spectators. 'All the people at the top said they were going to steal my title but this is mine,' a shirtless Kopke declared as he clutched his prize - the 7-pound (3-kilogram) circle of cheese. 'I risked my life for this. It's my cheese. Back to back.' In the women's race, Ava Sender Logan from London came out victorious. 'I will probably feel it tomorrow,' she said. 'It felt quite long coming down and then I hit my head. I'm down, that's what matters. I'm fine.' The origins of this wild event remain unclear, though it's believed to date back much further than its first recorded mention in 1826. Take a look below to see the day's dramatic moments captured in photos. The American Music Awards (AMAs) are back after a two-year hiatus and took place last night at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas. Kendrick Lamar led the nominations with 10 nods, with Post Malone following behind with eight noms, and Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey following behind with seven each. At the end of the evening, Billie Eilish emerged triumphant as the biggest winner of the night, winning all seven of her nominations, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. Eilish was not present at the awards and instead sent in video speeches thanking her fans. Scroll down for the full list of winners. Elsewhere, Gracie Abrams won New Artist of the Year, while Eminem beat Kendrick Lamar for Favourite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Favourite Hip-Hop Album. Lamar did win Favourite Hip-Hop Song for his record-smashing and Grammy Award-winning Drake diss track 'Not Like Us'. SZA won Favourite R&B Song and Favourite Female R&B Artist, while Beyoncé won Favourite Country Album and Favourite Female Country Artist. Janet Jackson received the Icon Award, and both Road Stewart and Zac Brown were awarded special prizes, with the Lifetime Achievement Award and Veterans Voice Award respectively.
