I personally don't see how the name fits the fragrance in any way, and to be honest when I got my sample of this, from the name, Raving - I thought immediately it was a mens perfume. (At the time I ha...Read more

Wow, my impressions of this don't seem to match any of the previous reviewers. To me, this is a comfort scent -- creamy almost rice-pudding-like with the spiciness of mace and cinnamon on a base of so...Read more

This scent is spicy and sweet, a little bit foody. The spice it contains is mace, which is the outer covering of the nutmeg and which is used in baking, especially in doughnuts. As some people have al...Read more

When I was a little girl, my mother would give me warm salt water to gargle when I had a sore throat. Raving smells like iodized salt mixed with tap water, plus a tiny bit of something sickeningly sw...Read more

Very heavy. I usually like warm/ambery scents but this one killed me. Kind of an 80s style perfume. I don't think it's awful, but I'd never wear it. Plus I don't like anything about the 80s.

I 'm not sure what the official notes for Etro Raving are, but on me this was a very heavy, spicy oriental. The main notes were creamy vanilla-incense, with a lot of spices and maybe a little woods a...Read more

Etro-Raving: Spicy and special fragrance. Not too strong. Unique bottle. Raving reminds me on KENZO JUNGLE ELEPHANT to give you an idea how it smells. It will have fans. But it's not for me. UPDATE 21...Read more

This fragrance has an heavy yet nice scent. It smells patchouli and incense, and reminds me of the scent I used to smell in my early childhood (early 80's) in my godparent's house. I like when a fragr...Read more

Smells oddly like...Thai Panang Curry. It's coconuty, but green with a spicy woodsy background. Weird, I know, but strangely addictive. Within 5 minutes of trying this fragrance, I was on sephora.c...Read more

I'm giving this a '4' instead of a '5' because it has poor staying power. Otherwise, I think it's divine. The mace/pepper hits you right away, it's very strong, but fades into a sweet woody incense. I...Read more

I tested this at Sephora, and it smelled just like Kenzo Jungle (Elephant) to me. I once owned and loved the Kenzo scent, but had to give it away, as the intensity of the spices was hard to control. ...Read more

I'll depart from the masses here and say that I like this one. I think it's the Papuan mace that gives this fragrance its edge. The reason I love it, though, is that it smells like a sharper, more d...Read more

I thought I liked this enough to consider buying it. It's a very strange melange to say the least. A fruity opening which deepens into a spicy cinnamony middle. Very interesting, yet has all the angle...Read more
