Obvious Une Pistache is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Fanny Bal. Une Pistache opens with Carrot Seeds, Neroli, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Pistachio, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Cashmeran. Obvious's Une Pistache carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and unique, Une Pistache isn't the straightforward gourmand many expect. Instead, it's a creamy, nutty enigma that's part carrot cake, part Santal 33, and only sometimes pistachio. You'll either love its airy sophistication or be baffled by its elusive nuttiness.

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.

About

Une Pistache opens with an intriguing, slightly savoury blend of carrot seeds and cardamom, offering a unique vegetal freshness. Soon, it softens into a creamy heart where a subtle, almost milky pistachio accord blends with powdery heliotrope, underpinned by a whisper of frankincense. The dry down is a comforting, skin-like embrace of smooth sandalwood, musky warmth, and a touch of soft cashmeran, creating an intimate, refined trail.
