The short answer: the three Rave Now bottles are three separate perfumes, not one scent in three strengths. Lattafa Rave Now, the fruity pineapple-and-apple original, is the bright, sweet one with a mossy-woody base. Rave Now White is a dry citrus, green-apple and patchouli musk. Rave Now Women is a sweet marshmallow, red-fruit and jasmine vanilla.
Pick Rave Now for a loud, fruity crowd-pleaser, White if you want something cleaner and less sweet, and Women if you love soft, sugary, powdery scents like Yara.

Why the Rave Now Names Confuse People
Rave is one of Lattafa’s house brands, and the Rave Now name now covers several bottles. The three most people shop for are the original Rave Now (2022), Rave Now White (2023) and Rave Now Women (2023). The names suggest a family: a main scent, a lighter “white” version and a feminine flanker. That is not how they smell.
Look at the official note lists side by side and the overlap is small. Rave Now and White share bergamot, apple, patchouli and musk. Rave Now and Women share jasmine, vanilla, moss and musk. White and Women share almost nothing beyond musk. So if you loved one, do not assume the others will feel familiar.
Search suggestions show the same confusion: people type “Rave Now White”, “Rave Now Women”, “Rave Now Intense” and “Rave Now Black” straight after the main name. This guide covers the three we stock. We do not sell Intense or Black, so we have left them out rather than guess at them.
The Three Note Pyramids
These are the official pyramids. For Rave Now and Rave Now Women, Lattafa’s site and Fragrantica agree. Lattafa’s own page for Rave Now White does not list notes, so its pyramid below is from Fragrantica.
Top: pineapple, bergamot, apple, blackcurrant
Heart: birch, patchouli, Moroccan jasmine, rose
Base: musk, vanilla, oakmoss, ambergris
Top: grapefruit, bergamot
Heart: green apple, patchouli
Base: musk, cashmeran, amber
Top: red fruits, orange
Heart: marshmallow, lily of the valley, jasmine
Base: vanilla, musk, moss
Rave Now: The Fruity Original
The original is the one that built the name. Fragrantica voters list its main accords as fruity, sweet, tropical and fresh, with musk and woods underneath. In plain terms: a big, juicy pineapple and apple opening, a heart that adds a little birch and patchouli for shape, and a vanilla, oakmoss and ambergris base that keeps it from smelling like pure fruit juice. It rates 4.18 out of 5 from more than 1,250 votes on its Fragrantica page, the highest of the three.
Lattafa lists it as a men’s fragrance, and that is how most people wear it. The pineapple-led style puts it in a crowded, popular lane. On Fragrantica, the first bottle listed under “people who like this also like” is Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan, which also opens on pineapple. Fakhar, Khamrah and Asad appear further down the same list.
Best for: anyone who wants a sweet, fruity scent that is easy to like, from weekends to casual nights out. If you find tropical fruit too sugary, start with White instead.
Rave Now White: Drier, Cleaner, Less Sweet
White is the odd one out. Despite the name, it is not a softened copy of the original. There is no pineapple, no blackcurrant and no vanilla in its pyramid. Instead you get grapefruit and bergamot over green apple and patchouli, settling into musk, cashmeran and amber. Fragrantica’s top accords are citrus, musky, powdery and fresh spicy, so expect a sharper, more grown-up opening and a soft, skin-like musk finish.
Fragrantica lists it “for women and men”, and it is the most unisex of the three. It is also the least reviewed: 4.01 out of 5 from around 310 votes on its Fragrantica page. That is a respectable score, but treat it as a smaller sample than the other two.
Best for: daytime, work and anyone who wants the “clean” side of the line rather than the sweet side. At £13.99 it is also the cheapest of the three.
Rave Now Women: Marshmallow and Red Fruit
Rave Now Women is the sweetest and softest of the trio. Lattafa’s official notes are red fruits and orange up top, marshmallow, lily of the valley and jasmine in the heart, and vanilla, musk and moss in the base. Fragrantica’s leading accords are sweet, powdery, fruity and vanilla, so think fluffy and sugary, with a light floral lift.
It is also the most voted-on of the three, at 4.02 out of 5 from more than 1,750 votes on its Fragrantica page. The bottles fans also like tell you its style. The list includes Yara, Yara Tous, Yara Candy, Ansaam Gold and Burberry Her, all soft fruity or powdery gourmands.
Best for: anyone who likes cosy, sweet, powdery scents and wants a cheaper bottle in that style. If you already own and love Yara, this is the Rave Now most likely to suit you.

Three Quick Ways to Decide
If sweetness worries you
Go for White. It is the only one of the three with no vanilla in its pyramid, and its accords lean citrus and musk rather than sweet. Both the original and Women have sweet as a top-two accord on Fragrantica.
If you are buying for someone else
Match the bottle to what they already wear. A fan of fruity “blue” or pineapple scents will probably prefer the original. Someone who wears Yara or other soft gourmands will be closer to Women. If you have no idea, White is the most neutral and the hardest to get badly wrong. Our guide to the best Lattafa perfumes for men and best Lattafa perfumes for women list other safe picks by occasion.
If you want a warm-weather bottle
The original and White both suit warmer days thanks to their citrus and fruit. White is the subtler choice for the office. If you want more fresh options, our fresh and aquatic Lattafa guide covers eight more.
A Note on Performance
We do not print hour-by-hour longevity figures for these three, because we could not find reliable community vote data for them. How long any fragrance lasts also depends on skin, how many sprays you use and where you spray. As a rule, sweet bases with vanilla and moss, as in the original and Women, tend to stay noticeable longer than light musks like White. Spraying clothes as well as skin helps any of them. A fresh bottle can also smell sharper at first. Our guide to perfume maceration explains why some people let a new bottle rest for a few weeks.

Rave Now FAQs
Quick answers to the questions we are asked most about the Rave Now line.
Is Rave Now White a lighter version of Rave Now?
No. It is a different perfume. White drops the pineapple, blackcurrant and vanilla, and swaps them for grapefruit, green apple, patchouli and a cashmeran-musk base. It shares a few notes with the original but smells drier and less sweet.
Is Rave Now Women the women’s version of Rave Now?
Only in name. Rave Now Women is a sweet marshmallow, red-fruit and jasmine scent with a vanilla-musk base. The original is a fruity pineapple-apple scent with oakmoss and ambergris. They share jasmine, vanilla, moss and musk, but the overall feel is quite different.
Can men wear Rave Now White or Rave Now Women?
Anyone can wear any fragrance. Fragrantica lists White for women and men, so it is the easiest crossover. Rave Now Women is listed for women and is very sweet and powdery, so it suits people of any gender who enjoy that style.
Which Rave Now is best rated?
When we checked, the original Rave Now had the highest Fragrantica score at 4.18 out of 5. White and Women were close behind at 4.01 and 4.02. Women had the most votes. Scores change over time, so treat these as a guide.
Do you sell Rave Now Intense or Rave Now Black?
Not at the moment. We stock Rave Now, Rave Now White and Rave Now Women, all as 100ml Eau de Parfum with free UK delivery. If you want to ask about a bottle we do not list, please get in touch through our contact page.
The Bottom Line
Three names, three different smells. If you want the fruity, sweet one most people mean when they say “Rave Now”, start with the original Lattafa Rave Now 100ml. Choose White for a cleaner, drier musk, and Women for a soft marshmallow sweetness. All three cost under £17, so they are an easy way to try the Lattafa style without spending much.
