Now opens on pineapple, bergamot, apple and black currant, a bright fruit stack that settles into birch, patchouli, Moroccan jasmine and rose. Musk, vanilla, oakmoss and ambergris close it out. On Fragrantica, 54% of voters rate longevity moderate, with sillage sitting mostly in the moderate range through the day.
Now opens on a stack of fruit rather than a single note: pineapple and apple bring sweetness, bergamot adds citrus lift, and black currant gives the whole accord a slightly tart, juicy edge that keeps it from reading as candied. That fruit does most of the early talking before the floral heart takes over. Birch brings a faint smoky-leathery undertone that grounds the fruit, while patchouli adds earthiness and Moroccan jasmine and rose bring a proper floral core rather than a fruity-floral in name only. The rose in particular keeps the composition from tipping too sweet, giving it a slightly more serious, grown-up floral center. The base pulls everything together with musk for softness, vanilla for warmth, oakmoss for a green-mossy depth, and ambergris for a salty, ambery finish. Read start to finish, Now moves from bright fruit through a real floral heart into a mossy, musky base — a fuller structure than the fruity opening first suggests.
The first impression is fruit-forward and bright, led by pineapple and black currant with bergamot sharpening the top. That fades within the opening stretch as birch and patchouli begin filling in underneath, giving the fruit some weight and a first hint of earthiness. Moroccan jasmine and rose then take the lead, turning what started as a fruity spray into a proper floral through the middle of its wear. As the florals soften, oakmoss and ambergris start to surface, pulling the fragrance toward a mossier, saltier register, while vanilla and musk round the edges so the drydown reads warm rather than sharp. By the later hours, the fruit and florals have receded almost entirely, leaving a soft musk-vanilla-moss base as the lasting impression.
Longevity votes cluster around the middle: 54% of respondents call it moderate, with 31% rating it long lasting and only 9% finding it weak. That points to a fragrance that holds for a solid few hours of clear presence rather than performing as an all-day scent, so a reapplication later in the day suits it well. Sillage follows a similar pattern, with 63% describing it as moderate and 26% as strong — projection that reads clearly up close and at conversational distance without filling a room.
Season votes split fairly evenly across spring, summer and autumn, with summer at 34%, spring at 33% and autumn at 22%, and winter trailing at 11%. That spread fits the notes: the fruit-forward opening suits warmer months, while the mossy, musky base gives it enough depth to carry into early autumn without feeling out of place. It reads best as a spring-through-summer fragrance with some room either side of that window.
Now is marketed as a men's fragrance, and the voter data agrees clearly: combined male and male-leaning responses make up 68% of the gender vote, against 29% unisex and a small remainder leaning female. Both signals point the same way, placing it in men's fragrance territory rather than a shared space.
Now shares its fruity-floral-over-moss shape with Zara's Vibrant Leather Bogoss, another fragrance that pairs bright fruit against a woody-mossy base. The comparison is a family resemblance rather than a copy — Now leans further into jasmine and rose in its heart, giving it a more floral center than the brand it is compared to, while covering similar ground for anyone drawn to that fruity-floral-mossy pairing.
Now suits anyone reaching for a fruity-floral fragrance with a mossy, musky base for spring and summer wear. The pineapple and black currant opening gives it an easy, bright character, while the jasmine-rose heart and oakmoss-ambergris base add enough depth to hold interest through the day. Moderate longevity and sillage data both point to a comfortable, close-wearing scent that suits reapplication for evening wear.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
