If you're in Ipoh and after a Rave perfume with a musk base for office days and everyday wear, there are two options worth a look. Both come in 100ml bottles, both settle into musk at the base, and they suit different moods — one leans fresh and woody for men, the other is a unisex floral fruity in EDP strength. Here's how they compare.
Now for Men
Now for Men is Rave's fresh, woody and aromatic pick for men. It opens with bergamot, lemon and mint, so the first impression is clean and bright — handy when the weather is hot and humid. The heart brings in lavender, cardamom and amber, and the base of cedarwood, musk and patchouli gives it a smooth, masculine finish. That musk base is also why it made this list.
It's a 100ml bottle, though the store doesn't list a concentration for it, so don't go in expecting an EDP claim. The store suggests it for everyday wear, the office and casual moments, and summer is among its listed seasons, which lines up nicely with Ipoh's weather.
Who it suits
If you're a guy who wants something fresh and clean in the morning that ends up smooth and musky later on, this is the one to check out. It's made for men, so keep that in mind if you were hoping for a bottle to share.
Au Soleil
Au Soleil is the unisex option, and it's an EDP in a 100ml bottle. The family here is floral fruity. It opens with citrus, fresh herbs and light fruity touches, then the heart blends soft florals with smooth woods. The base settles into musk, warm woods and soft sweetness — musk again at the end, which ties it straight into this post's theme.
The store describes it as bright, clean and modern, and says its fresh trail is suitable for Malaysia's climate — something to think about when you're moving between the heat outside and air-conditioned malls in Ipoh. Its listed occasions are daily wear, office, casual and even the gym.
Who it suits
Because it's unisex, anyone can wear it. If you prefer a lighter, fruitier and more floral scent over something woody and aromatic, Au Soleil is the easier match. It's also the natural pick for daytime wear, since daytime is listed among its seasons.
So, which one should you get?
Both share that musk base, so the difference is really the journey. Now for Men goes bergamot, lemon and mint into lavender, cardamom and amber, and lands on cedarwood, musk and patchouli — a fresh woody aromatic made for men. Au Soleil goes citrus and fruity into soft florals and smooth woods, and finishes on musk, warm woods and soft sweetness — a floral fruity EDP for anyone.
A few pointers from the data: Au Soleil is the only one with a stated concentration, so if EDP matters to you, that's the clearer answer. Go for Now for Men if you want a masculine fresh woody scent; go for Au Soleil if you want something unisex, brighter and more floral. Both are 100ml, and both cover office and casual occasions, so you can happily rotate them through the working week.
