Obvious Un Été is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Meabh McCurtin. Un Été opens with Clementine, Mandarin, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Mate, Matcha, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Peru Balsam. Obvious's Un Été carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Un Été is a divisive one, blending creamy matcha with citrus and ginger. While some find it an amazing, realistic tea scent, others are put off by its initial bitterness or lament its poor longevity and projection. It's not a safe blind buy, but if you love creamy tea notes, it's worth a sniff.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear without overwhelming. The fresh, clean, and comforting notes also lend themselves well to everyday settings, though its creaminess might be too informal for very formal occasions. Reviewers often mention its versatility for day wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Imagine sipping a creamy matcha latte infused with zesty clementine and mandarin, brightened by a hint of spicy ginger. As it settles, the rich, earthy notes of mate and matcha blend beautifully with delicate orange blossom, all resting on a soft, comforting base of vanilla, tonka bean, and Peru balsam. It's a journey from vibrant freshness to a sweet, milky embrace.
