How to Choose Between Now Women and Au Soleil by Rave for Office Wear in Selangor

If you're in Selangor and hunting for a Rave perfume you can wear to the office, you've probably landed on two bottles from the same brand: Now Women and Au Soleil. Both are 100ml EDPs, both come from Rave, but they go in quite different directions. This guide breaks down the character of each one, who it suits, and how to pick between them without overthinking it.

Now Women by Rave

Now Women is a women's EDP that leans sweet and fruity. The fragrance family is Fruity, White Floral and Gourmand, so think juicy rather than sharp. It opens with red fruits and orange, then moves into a heart of marshmallow, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The base settles on vanilla, moss and musk, which gives it that cosy, comforting finish.

The store describes it as sweet, fruity and elegant — playful but still refined. It's listed for casual, formal, everyday and special occasion wear, so it's flexible. If you're a woman who likes a warmer, sweeter scent that still feels put-together for work, this one fits the brief.

Who it suits

• Women who enjoy gourmand and fruity scents with a floral heart
• Anyone who wants one bottle that can move from the office to dinner
• People who prefer a scent with a sweeter, softer character instead of something crisp

Au Soleil by Rave

Au Soleil is a unisex EDP in the Floral Fruity family, and it's built around bright, clean vibes. The top brings citrus, fresh herbs and fruity notes. In the heart, you get soft florals blended with smooth woods, and the base settles into musk, warm woods and soft sweetness. The store describes it as fresh, bright and clean, and notes it's suitable for Malaysia's climate — which matters when you're commuting in Selangor heat.

Where this one really stands out is the occasion list: daily, office, casual and gym are all named. If you want a single bottle you can spray before work and keep using on weekends, Au Soleil ticks that box.

Who it suits

• Anyone looking for a unisex scent — men and women both
• Office wear, since office is listed right in its occasions
• People who like citrus and fresh, clean scents more than sweet ones

How to choose between them

The easiest way to decide is to ask yourself what mood you want at your desk. If you like sweet, fruity and slightly gourmand, Now Women is your pick — vanilla and marshmallow in the base give it a warmer personality. If you'd rather smell fresh and clean through a humid workday, Au Soleil makes more sense, with its citrus and herbs up top.

Gender matters too. Now Women is made for women, while Au Soleil is unisex, so it works if you're buying for a shared desk drawer, a partner, or you just don't want to think about labels.

There's also the occasion angle. Au Soleil explicitly lists office among its occasions, along with daily, casual and gym, so it's the more obvious 9-to-5 choice. Now Women covers everyday and formal wear, so it can absolutely work for the office too — it just comes with a sweeter character. Both are 100ml EDPs, so you're choosing on scent and fit, not size or concentration.
