Obvious Une Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Une Rose opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Pink Pepper and Cardamom.

This is a fresh, bright rose for people who usually avoid rose scents. It's a crowd-pleaser that manages to be both uplifting and subtly spicy, though some find it a touch too simple or intimate.

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.

Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate performance and fresh, inoffensive character make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as noted by several reviewers. While pleasant, it might be too subtle for a formal event or a high-impact date, and works well for light activity.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Une Rose opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and tangerine, giving it an immediate juicy, almost effervescent quality. This vibrant citrus quickly leads to a fresh, dewy rose heart, uplifted by a hint of green geranium. As it settles, subtle warmth emerges from pink pepper and cardamom, adding a delicate, nuanced spice that prevents the rose from becoming overly sweet or one-dimensional.
