Now by RAVE

Look, I saw a lot of bad reviews and it seemed odd. People don’t realize that Arab perfumes need to breathe; Lattafa releases dozens of scents a week and they don’t get time to settle. If you let them mature, they go from lasting 4-5 hours to 8 and actually project. At $15, it’s an absolute steal. Smells like juicy pineapple, kind of like Qaed with a hint of Hawas Ice. Good buy.

Amazing price. The opening is exquisite, smells like biting into a juicy pineapple. It’s a pineapple bomb, though that opening doesn’t last long. Once dried, it turns into a sweet citrus with woody and floral notes. At full dry-down, it’s quick, with a mossy, green touch, but never cloying or like disinfectant lemon. It’s very well done. It’s my signature scent, I wear it daily. Keep in mind it fades fast, so bring a travel spray to refresh it. That’s what I do and I recommend it.

Delicious, with a sweet, ripe pineapple that always stands out. It’s creamy yet fresh, gets compliments (and some weird looks). On my skin and clothes, it lasts forever, about 6 to 10 hours on skin and days on clothes. For around 14,990 pesos in Chile, it’s a steal. I think it’s an underrated Lattafa perfume.

Super regretful. It doesn’t last or project, and the scent doesn’t agree with me. I work in a hospital and it smells like diabetic patient urine. Think twice before buying.

Exquisite fragrance. If you use plenty of sprays, it lasts hours and even days on clothes. Very pleasant, lots of pineapple at the start that turns into a rich, enchanting scent. Buy blind.

Smells great, but the listed notes don’t quite convince me. The pineapple is there, but the rest is very subtle. Also, it has a clove note that nobody mentions, and it’s the most irritating part for me; without that, it would be a gem. That spiciness makes it hard to wear on sunny days. I don’t know why so many Arabic perfumes use clove or ginger and become so hot; if you have sensitive skin, believe me, you’ll feel it. Plus, since most Arabic scents are beast mode, they last 6-7 hours projecting well, which is brutal for a full day.

Pineapple aroma, rather in syrup. If you like pineapple, it’s not bad, even if it’s synthetic. It’s very noticeable at the start, then becomes a bit more amber, but the pineapple is what you feel the most. The longevity is decent, though it projects little. I prefer the Vibrant Leather Bogoss from Zara in that style; it also smells like pineapple but feels more natural and pleasant, and has the base of the original VL that people say resembles Aventus. Overall, the Zara one is more interesting and less boring in my opinion. The downside of the Zara one is the longevity, because it projects well while it lasts but fades quickly on my skin.

Hi, hope you’re all doing well. I’m reviewing a fragrance I no longer own, so I’ll express my memories. Rave Now is very pleasant, youthful, carefree, cheerful, and takes me to summer, friends, and fun. It’s like smelling pineapple in syrup, so simple and rich. The only downside is it has a slightly metallic base, but for the price, you can overlook it. Personally, I love it, but don’t expect anything more than a fruity and sweet fragrance. As I always say, anyone can wear fragrances, but I understand men might feel more comfortable, though I encourage women to try them. Regarding seasons, it reminds me of a vibrant, fun summer surrounded by friends, not a calm one. As for ages, it seems youthful, but as a state of mind; I was 40 when they gifted it to me, and I enjoyed it a lot. In conclusion, it’s a charming fragrance that for the price, you can’t ask for more; just lifting my spirits and taking me to lovely places is enough. Sending greetings from Argentina and see you next time.

Rave Now, at first spray, smells like a freshly cut fresh pineapple; that lasts the first 20 minutes. Afterward, it turns into a very amber, syrup-like sweet pineapple with a very light touch of fine wood. Plastic bottle, medium quality: 7. Atomizer: Good atomizer: 8.5. Price: I got it for 600 Mexican pesos ($30): 8.8. Longevity: Initially 4 hours, I let it mature, and now it’s 7 hours. The first 4 hours smell great in your surroundings, followed by 3 hours of personal bubble: 8.5. Projection: Approximately 2 hours, about 1.5 meters away: 8.5. Sillage: Leaves a slight trail, nothing extraordinary: 7.5. It’s for climates between 21-30 degrees; above 30 it can be annoying due to its sweetness. If you like pineapple, it’s for you; if not, it’s not for you. Final rating: 8.5.

Wow, simply wow. I tried it alongside Lattafa Asad, which I’ve always liked, looking for a new fragrance. As expected, Asad still seemed good, but RAVE didn’t quite convince me. Since RAVE seemed fresher and more spring-like, I asked friends and family to choose between the two on my skin, and everyone leaned toward RAVE. After that debate, though not fully convinced, I decided to try it; since it’s so cheap, it wouldn’t cost me much if it didn’t end up convincing me. I sprayed it once and realized the reason it didn’t convince me was that my nose was numbed from smelling so much perfume; smelling it again, the pineapple opening hit me hard, and I’m still recovering. It’s an exquisite, fresh, masculine fragrance that everyone loved (in my case). I definitely loved it and will buy it again when I run out. That said, I want to let it mature a bit because I notice it has less projection than I expected, let’s see how it goes.

Rave Now by Lattafa is your pick if you’re looking for something sweet, youthful, and exquisite. It improves on Qaed al Fursan: starts with fresh pineapple that turns woody and playful. Perfect for ages 15-25 at parties, dates, or in cool weather (autumn, spring, mild summer), as it can get cloying in the heat. Lasts 5-7 hours with good projection. For the price, it’s a must-have.

To those who say it smells like Qaed al Fursan: they’re right, but the opening on Rave Now is much better. The pineapple doesn’t feel synthetic; it’s fresh and fruity. The dry-down on skin is spectacular and lasts longer than the original. For the price, I highly recommend it.

It’s a good perfume and proof that Fragrantica’s notes aren’t always reliable, as it doesn’t smell like vanilla or patchouli as claimed. It’s good, pretty, and cheap: it smells like sweet, smoky pineapple, which isn’t for everyone, but I like it. If you let it mature, the bergamot balances better. A solid budget option for daily wear.

Absolute beast mode, incredible perfume.

I bought it because it seemed fresh and easy, but I’m a bit regretting it. It smells good, but it’s so linear that I got bored in two days: just smoky pineapple from start to finish. If you want to smell like a jar of fresh pineapple for 6 hours, this is your perfume; if not, I don’t recommend it. The good thing is that hardly anyone finds it unpleasant, but it hasn’t given me many compliments either. Versatility: 6/10, Scent: 8/10, Complexity: 3/10, Rating: 6/10. It does the job but isn’t special.
