Better World Fragrance House has expanded its fragrance lineup with Cloudar, a new Eau de Parfum developed under Drake’s lifestyle brand. Designed as a genderless fragrance, the scent builds on the label’s existing fragrance identity while introducing a fresher and more herbaceous composition.
Cloudar opens with notes of crystallized ginger, mandarin, and nashi pear before transitioning into a heart of clary sage, jasmine sambac, and lily of the valley. The fragrance settles into a base of tonka bean, Haitian vetiver, atlas cedar, and musk, creating a woody aromatic profile intended for everyday wear and intimate settings.
The release is housed in the brand’s signature spherical bottle, reinterpreted in an opaque cream finish with a matte texture. Positioned on a rectangular base, the packaging reflects the soft aesthetic referenced by the fragrance’s name and concept.

Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Genderless Fragrances
- A move away from binary scent marketing toward universal compositions that blend traditionally masculine and feminine notes, enabling products that redefine consumer segmentation in perfumery.
- Herbaceous-woody Blends
- The pairing of fresh herbal hearts like clary sage with deep woody bases such as vetiver and cedar suggests novel olfactory profiles that bridge daytime freshness and intimate warmth.
- Texture-forward Packaging
- Matte, tactile finishes and reinterpreted classic forms emphasize sensory engagement beyond scent and open new possibilities for multi-sensory product differentiation.
Where This Applies
- Luxury Fragrance
- Premium fragrance houses can capitalize on formulations that eschew gender norms and command higher margins through unique ingredient pairings and storytelling.
- Retail Packaging
- Packaging suppliers may see demand for innovative materials and finishes that elevate tactile appeal and reinforce brand identity on crowded shelves.
- Lifestyle Brand Collaborations
- Cross-category partnerships between celebrity-led lifestyle labels and established perfumers create opportunities for co-branded scent lines that amplify cultural relevance and reach.
