What's the performance on the oil alone? 10ml isn't a lot but I've never worn oil just EDT and EDP.

Lasts around 6 to 8 hours of regular living. I’m sure a bit less in the summer time and a lot less if you are too active and moving around. Projection isn’t too far either, but it is an inviting scent
My Carby Musk should he here in 2 days

I work 12hr shifts and I can smell it on my wrist after i’m done. I’d say it’s close to 14-16 hours on me. I was very surprised at its performance. The projection is very intimate though, if someone goes in for a hug, they will certainly smell it but I doubt it’ll leave a scent trail.
if you buy a drake candle, you suck cock. if you brought a girl home and she saw you owned a drake candle, she knows your secret now, too.
Who else itt tryna smell like Aubrey 👀 Imagine, ladies flocking you at the club begging for that big boy meat. 😏🔥 Even my baby mommas momma would be begging for the night with Nephew 😉🍑 Big tingz Bossman. #6GodLyfestyle
When drake was making these candles what were his thoughts at the time when selecting the candle scents? Did he have a personal favorite? Personally I like the nature of good thoughts. It's got a tinge of orange but I know some people like muskoka, more woody/sandalwood/cloves for fall.

William Cheng and Niko Carino first approached Givaudan about creating a couple of scents for Drake in the summer of 2019. Karen Elliot, a Givaudan executive, suggested they work with Michael Carby. “I was the only Black creative perfumer at Givaudan at the time, and am one of the few Black perfumers in the history of the industry, from a creative standpoint,” Mr. Carby notes.
It was an effective move. “I thought it would be the perfect match to utilize him,” Mr. Carino says today. “Obviously his being a person of colour made me feel most comfortable, and kind of kicked it off.” The only guidance the clients gave Mr. Carby was a small vial of body oil that Drake wore.
Mr. Carby had the oil spectrometrically a***yzed, and recreated it. “I got the duplication done,” he remembers, “but it didn’t smell quite like the oil, so I had to do other things, too.”
Months passed. In January of 2020, Ms. Elliott phoned Mr. Carby to say they were heading to Toronto – the next day, to visit Drake and William Cheng and Niko Carino at Drake’s mansion with the sample Mr. Carby had prepared. Mr. Carino warned the pair again ahead of time: Drake was a busy man. If he gave them three minutes of his time, that was not unusual. If he gave them twenty minutes, their project was a go.
This is where the story gets wild and touched by whatever force it is that makes life seem fated and destined to happen: please follow along. Two months earlier, a young woman in the Whitney Hotel bar near Mr. Carby’s office had begged him to tell her what scent he was wearing. He was drinking with a pal and tried to ignore her but she persisted. Michael Carby was wearing the only scent he ever wears, a musk body oil of his own creation. It’s noticeable but subtle, hard to pin down: a musky, amberish, leathery base with spicy and even tropical high notes. Mr. Carby always has a few samples in miniature roll-on containers in his pocket, a perfumer’s version of a business card, so he finally gave her one.
And then, the day before the presentation of the reconstituted body oil to Drake in Toronto, the enthralled young woman from the bar showed up in the lobby of Givaudan’s Manhattan headquarters.
She desperately wanted more of Mr. Carby’s personal scent. She’d given the sample to her father, Victor, as a birthday present. Victor lived in Toronto, and worked as a waiter in a high-end restaurant near Yorkville called Sotto Sotto, one of Drake’s favourites. One night as Victor served him, Drake noticed the musky body oil’s scent, loved it, and asked Victor where he got it. Victor said he’d get him some more. Hence the desperate young woman in the lobby.
“You should sell this to Drake,” she asserted.
“As it turns out,” Mr. Carby replied, “I’m going to meet Drake in Toronto tomorrow.”
Now we know how the meeting turned out. Mr. Carby put aside the formulated body oil. (It later became the basis of another BWFH candle, Good Thoughts.) Instead, he remembers, “I take out my roll-on. Drake rolls it on. Smells it. ‘Hold on,’ he says, ‘how do you know Victor?’”

Bless up thank you.
I've only tried 2 of the candles. I wish the fragrance oil was cheaper but I don't know how much those things usually go for.

14:00 carby talks about what drake asked from him when they started working on the scents

The oil is extremely overpriced unfortunately. I guess its cause it was Carbys personal scent for himself and his close friends/family. They have been working on an edp though so that should drop somewhere this/next year

I only bought the carby musk oil, the shipping $ to europe is insane (like €50-60 if I remember correctly). I cant spend that type of money on candles lol. I love the oil but next purchase gon be the edp aswell
The oil does last a while though, i bought it back in february and still have some left despite using it often
I bought the oil as I have some money now.
It smells amazing, kinda girly IMO. I’m going to wear it here and there and see how it performs.

Doesnt smell girly at all tbh. Maybe if you associate musk with girly scent
