Better World Fragrance House and October’s Very Own, the lifestyle brand of Drake, have officially presented the collaborative DoSayDo Eau de Parfum. The exclusive fragrance launch celebrates the 40th birthday of Drake and marks the first ever fragrance collaboration between his two brands. The scent arrives in a customized 3.4 oz vessel holding 100 mL.

DoSayDo delivers a citrus aromatic profile built on contrasting notes. The scent opens with top notes of passion fruit, white wine spritz, cannabis and clary sage oil. It moves into a heart of petitgrain, black pepper oil and rose oil. Warm base notes of cognac, white cedarwood and roasted tonka then unfold into a rich finish. The fragrance was created in collaboration with Michael Carby, the longtime perfumer of Drake, and it draws on the music, experiences and cultural influences that have shaped his journey.

The bottle reimagines the signature design of Better World Fragrance House in an all glass construction. The iconic globe bottle and its matching sculptural stand are cast in a deep burgundy translucent crimson shade. The secondary packaging features the recognizable cream colored carton of October’s Very Own, displaying the signature owl of the brand alongside the circular emblem of Better World Fragrance House.

DoSayDo previewed through a 24 hour release on October 19, 2026 at the Better World Fragrance House site, followed by an official launch on October 24, 2026 in OVO stores and at OctobersVeryOwn.com. The eau de parfum retails for $198 at octobersveryown.com, in October’s Very Own retail stores and at betterworldfragrancehouse.co.

The launch caps a prolific year for Drake, who has released three albums and teased a fourth. With DoSayDo, his fragrance house and his lifestyle brand meet in one collectible object, a birthday release designed to be displayed as much as it is worn.

Bobbi Brown has joined forces with The Metropolitan Museum of Art for a limited edition holiday makeup collection that puts masterworks from the museum onto the vanity. Each product pairs a signature Bobbi Brown formula with a specific work of art from The Met collections of European Paintings and of Drawings and Prints, chosen for the harmony between the palette of the painting and the finish of the product. A first phase of the collection is available now, with additional drops releasing globally on November 12, 2026.

The centerpiece is an eye shadow palette of eight shades in matte and shimmer finishes, priced at $72, with each pan at 0.04 oz and 1.3 g. Its compact carries a detail from Landscape with Stars, painted by Cross between 1905 and 1908, set in the signature gilded frame of the brand, with a pressed design on four of the shades. The same painting appears on the Luxe Shimmer Eyeshadow in Rose Illusion, a rose gold shade with gold sparkle, priced at $45.

For the face, the Brightening Blush is a three in one multidimensional blush priced at $52, offered in Blushed Peach and Blushed Burgundy. Its compact features a detail from Mäda Primavesi by Gustav Klimt, painted in 1912 and 1913. For lips, the Luxe Lipstick case carries a detail from Pandora by Odilon Redon, painted in 1914, and the Extra Lip Tinted Balm, priced at $39, features Bouquet of Sunflowers by Claude Monet, painted in 1881. The balm gives sheer color that blooms as it adjusts to the pH of the lips, with hydrating and plumping benefits.

Global Pro Artist Cassandra Garcia created the looks for the collection. “I love this collection because it’s so iconic yet effortless,” Garcia said. “The shades are beautiful and so versatile. You can go soft and neutral or bold and dramatic with eyes and lips, and brighten any look with a touch of cheek color.”

The Bobbi Brown x The Met collection is sold at bobbibrowncosmetics.com and at Bobbi Brown counters, and the brand presents the pieces as collectible holiday gifts that earn their place on the vanity long after the season ends.
