Morphology

unscented = scented (transparent) = un + scent + ed

The adjective 'unscented' is formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'scented', producing a straightforward negation.

Etymology

The word unscented is made from un- meaning 'not' and scent meaning 'smell'. So unscented simply means 'without an added smell', which is why people with allergies often choose unscented products.
