If you're new to perfume and living in Kuala Lumpur, picking your first bottle can feel overwhelming. The good news is you don't need anything complicated. Rave makes two easy-to-wear EDPs — Now Women and Au Soleil — and both lean fruity, one of the friendliest scent directions for beginners. Whether you want something for the office or just an everyday scent, here's how the two differ.
Now Women by Rave — sweet, fruity and feminine
Now Women is a 100ml Eau de Parfum made for women. Its fragrance family is Fruity, White Floral and Gourmand, so expect something juicy and sweet with a soft floral heart running through it.
- Top notes: Red Fruits, Orange
- Heart notes: Marshmallow, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley
- Base notes: Vanilla, Moss, Musk
It opens with red fruits and orange, then softens into marshmallow, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The base settles on vanilla, moss and musk. The store describes it as playful yet refined, which sums it up nicely — sweet, but not childish.
It's listed for casual, formal, everyday and special occasions, so it can move from your daily routine to dinner or an event without feeling out of place. If you like your scents on the cosy, gourmand side, this one's worth a look.
Au Soleil by Rave — bright, clean and unisex
Au Soleil is also a 100ml EDP, but this one is unisex, so anyone can wear it. The fragrance family is Floral Fruity, with a bright citrus-aromatic feel.
- 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, then blends soft florals with smooth woods before settling into musk, warm woods and gentle sweetness. Overall it reads clean, bright and modern — the kind of scent that feels right on a hot, humid KL day, whether you're walking between LRT stations or sitting in an air-conditioned office.
Its occasions are listed as daily, office, casual and gym, which makes it a very practical pick if workwear is what you're after.
Which one should you go for?
Both bottles share a lot: same brand, same 100ml EDP format, and both have a fruity side. The difference is the mood.
Go with Au Soleil if office wear is your main goal — it's the one that lists office among its occasions, and its citrus and fresh herbs profile sits comfortably in Malaysia's heat. Being unisex, it's also an easy bottle to share.
Pick Now Women if you want something sweeter and more feminine. The red fruits, marshmallow and vanilla give it a warmer, gourmand character, and it's flexible enough for casual days, formal settings and everyday use.
Whichever you choose, both are straightforward EDPs that don't need any perfume knowledge to enjoy — exactly what a beginner in Kuala Lumpur wants.
