Now Women vs Au Soleil: Best Rave Fruity Perfumes for Date Night in Sarawak

If you're in Sarawak and planning a date night, Rave has two bottles that could easily end up in the running: Now Women and Au Soleil. Now Women is made for women and leans sweet, fruity and floral. Au Soleil is unisex and goes the other way – bright, citrusy and clean. Both are 100ml EDPs, so the real difference is the scent itself. Here's what the notes actually say.

Now Women: sweet, fruity and playful

Now Women by Rave is a 100ml EDP made for women. Its fragrance family is Fruity, White Floral and Gourmand – so think juicy fruit up front, soft white flowers in the middle and a sweet, cosy finish.

• Top notes: red fruits and orange
• Heart notes: marshmallow, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley
• Base notes: vanilla, moss and musk

It opens juicy, softens into that comforting marshmallow and jasmine heart, then settles on vanilla, moss and musk. The occasions listed for it cover everyday wear, casual outings, formal events and special occasions – and that last one is exactly where date night sits. If you want the scent that feels a bit more dressed up for an evening out, this is the one of the two built for that.

Au Soleil: bright, clean and easy to share

Au Soleil by Rave is also a 100ml EDP, but this one is unisex. Its family is Floral Fruity, and the whole profile is built around sunny, warm days – which, let's be honest, is basically every day in Malaysia.

• Top notes: citrus, fresh herbs and fruity notes
• Heart notes: soft florals and smooth woods
• Base notes: musk, warm woods and soft sweetness

It opens sparkling and fresh with the citrus and herbs, the soft florals and smooth woods keep it clean and modern, and the musky, lightly sweet base leaves a soft trail. The store text actually describes that trail as suitable for Malaysia's climate, which is a nice bonus in this heat and humidity. Its listed occasions are daily wear, office, casual and gym, so it's the easier, more laid-back bottle of the two. And because it's unisex, it's also the pick if you'd rather have one bottle you and your partner can both wear.

Which one for your date night in Sarawak?

Go with Now Women if you want something sweeter and more evening-ready. Special occasions and formal events are right there in its data, and the marshmallow and vanilla give it a warmer, softer mood once the fruity opening settles.

Go with Au Soleil if your idea of a date is more relaxed – daytime plans, a casual dinner, something easy. It's the lighter and fresher of the two, and it won't feel heavy in Sarawak's heat. It also makes sense if a single unisex bottle for both of you sounds like a plan.

One thing they share: both come as 100ml EDPs, so you're choosing on scent and occasion, not on size or concentration.
