If you're in Melaka and you've been browsing Rave perfumes, two names probably keep showing up: Now for Men and Au Soleil. Both come in 100ml bottles, both are from the same brand, and honestly, shopping for them online can get confusing fast. This post is for anyone in Melaka who wants a simple, straight answer on which of the two fits their everyday wear better — based only on what the product listings actually say.
Now for Men: Fresh, Woody and Built for Guys
Now for Men is a 100ml fragrance made for men, and its profile is listed as Fresh • Woody • Aromatic. That's a clean, classic masculine direction — bright citrus up top with a warmer, woodier finish.
- Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Mint
- Heart notes: Lavender, Cardamom, Amber
- Base notes: Cedarwood, Musk, Patchouli
The store lists it for everyday and casual wear, and the seasons include summer, which is handy since the heat in Melaka doesn't really take a break. One thing worth knowing: the listing doesn't state a concentration for this one, so if that detail matters to you, keep it in mind before deciding.
Au Soleil: A Unisex EDP for Busy Days
Au Soleil is the other 100ml option, and this one's a unisex Eau de Parfum. Its fragrance family is Floral Fruity, so it sits in a much brighter, fruitier lane than Now for Men.
- Top notes: Citrus, Fresh Herbs, Fruity Notes
- Heart notes: Soft Florals, Smooth Woods
- Base notes: Musk, Warm Woods, Soft Sweetness
The occasions listed for Au Soleil are daily, office, casual and even the gym, and daytime appears in its seasons list. So this is the one that leans towards bright, busy hours — desk to errands to a quick workout.
So, Which One Should You Pick?
Both are 100ml and both cover casual wear, so the choice really comes down to a few practical points:
- Gender: Now for Men is made for men. Au Soleil is unisex, so one bottle can be shared between you and a partner or a sibling.
- Scent direction: Want a fresh, woody-aromatic scent with lavender, amber and musk in the mix? That's Now for Men. Want something floral fruity with citrus, herbs and a soft sweetness at the base? That's Au Soleil.
- Where you'll wear it: Au Soleil's list covers office and gym alongside daily and casual use. Now for Men is listed for everyday and casual moments.
- Concentration: Au Soleil is an EDP. The concentration for Now for Men isn't stated in its listing.
My honest take? Don't overthink it. If you're buying strictly for yourself and you like a masculine fresh-woody scent, Now for Men is the clear match. If you want something brighter that anyone in the house can reach for, Au Soleil makes more sense. Pick based on how you'll actually use it, not just which bottle looks nicer on your shelf.
