Now Women vs Au Soleil: Best Rave Fruity Perfumes for Women in Kuala Lumpur

If you're working in Kuala Lumpur and want a fruity Rave perfume for the office, this one's for you. Rave has two very different picks here: Now Women, a sweet scent made for women, and Au Soleil, a unisex option that leans brighter and cleaner. Both are 100ml Eau de Parfums, so let's look at what each one is really about before you choose.

Now Women by Rave (100ml EDP)

Now Women is Rave's pick for women who like something sweet but still put-together. The brand describes it as a sweet, fruity and elegant scent — playful yet refined. Its fragrance family is Fruity • White Floral • Gourmand, so think juicy fruit up front, a soft floral heart and a cosy finish.

• Top notes: Red Fruits, Orange
• Heart notes: Marshmallow, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley
• Base notes: Vanilla, Moss, Musk

That marshmallow and vanilla combo gives Now Women its sweet, comforting side, while jasmine and lily-of-the-valley keep it from being just a gourmand. The brand lists its occasions as casual, formal, everyday and special occasion. That formal listing is the one that matters for office wear — it's a scent you can take into a KL meeting and still enjoy on a weekend outing.

Au Soleil by Rave (100ml EDP)

Au Soleil is the unisex one, and its occasion list reads like it was written for a working week: daily, office, casual and gym. The fragrance family is Floral Fruity, and the overall feel is bright, clean and modern — the brand even notes that the trail suits Malaysia's climate.

• Top notes: Citrus, Fresh Herbs, Fruity Notes
• Heart notes: Soft Florals, Smooth Woods
• Base notes: Musk, Warm Woods, Soft Sweetness

It opens with sparkling citrus, fresh herbs and light fruity touches, moves into soft florals and smooth woods, then settles on musk, warm woods and a gentle sweetness. Because it's unisex, it works whether you share a dressing table or just prefer something that doesn't lean obviously sweet or floral.

Now Women vs Au Soleil: how to choose

Both come in the same 100ml EDP format, so the real difference is the mood. If your days run from the gym to the office to a casual dinner, Au Soleil covers all of those occasions in one bottle, and its citrus-herbal opening suits KL's heat and humidity. If you'd rather smell sweet and feminine, Now Women brings the red fruits, marshmallow and vanilla, and its formal occasion listing keeps it office-friendly too.

A simple way to decide: match the scent to your week, not the bottle. Office-first and unisex? Au Soleil. Sweeter, for women, with a gourmand touch? Now Women.
