Now Rave Eau De Parfum

“Now Rave Eau de Parfum” is a fragrance line from Lattafa Perfumes, a very popular Middle Eastern fragrance house from the UAE. It’s known for its bold, often fruity and woody profiles, and good performance for its price.

Fragrance Profile (Notes):

Rave Now is classified as a Fruity Aromatic or Woody Aromatic fragrance. Its notes are designed to create a strong, fresh, and slightly sweet impression.

• Top Notes: Pineapple, Black Currant, Bergamot, Apple. This creates a very vibrant, juicy, and energetic opening with prominent fruity sweetness (especially the pineapple) and a zesty freshness from bergamot.
• Middle Notes: Rose, Dry Birch, Moroccan Jasmine, Patchouli. The heart blends floral sophistication with woody and earthy notes. Rose and jasmine add a subtle floral elegance, while dry birch contributes a smoky, leathery, and woody nuance, and patchouli provides earthy depth.
• Base Notes: Musk, Vanilla, Oakmoss, Ambergris. The dry down is warm, smooth, and long-lasting. Musk provides a clean, soft sensuality, vanilla adds a creamy sweetness, oakmoss offers a classic earthy, slightly green and mossy accord, and ambergris enhances the warmth and longevity with its unique salty-musky facet.

Key Characteristics:

• Aventus-like DNA: It shares a similar fruity (pineapple), smoky (birch), and woody profile with Creed Aventus, making it a popular choice for those seeking that highly desired scent at a much lower price.
• Fruity & Smoky: The prominent pineapple, combined with the dry birch, creates a distinctive blend of fresh fruit and subtle smokiness.
• Bold and Strong: It’s designed for those who want to “stand out in a crowd.”
• Excellent Performance: As an Eau de Parfum from Lattafa, Rave Now is generally praised for its strong longevity (often 6-10+ hours) and good to strong projection/sillage, especially in the first few hours.
• Versatile: Despite its strength, its fresh and fruity opening makes it quite versatile.
• Unisex Appeal: While marketed for men, the prominent fruity notes and vanilla in the base make it very appealing to women who enjoy bolder or fruity-woody fragrances.

Usage:

• Occasions:
  • Highly versatile for daily wear, including office (if applied moderately), casual outings, and daytime social events.
  • Excellent for night outs, parties, and clubbing due to its strong projection and crowd-pleasing aroma.
  • Suitable for dates, as it’s generally well-received and attractive.
• Seasons:
  • Performs well in all seasons. The fresh and fruity notes are great for spring and summer, while the woody, smoky, and warm base makes it suitable for autumn and mild winter days.
• Application:
  • Given its EDP concentration and good performance, 3-5 sprays are usually sufficient for a noticeable and lasting presence. Over-spraying might be too much in warmer or more enclosed environments.
  • Apply to pulse points such as the neck, wrists, and chest.
