Which Should You Buy?
A zesty, effervescent burst of citrus and florals, Clinique Happy is the quintessential mood-lifter-bright, clean, and instantly recognizable. Youthful and energetic, it's a timeless everyday pick for the feel-good crowd.
Survival is Perfume Parlour's take on a crisp designer fruity-floral, opening on tart grapefruit and quince before a clean jasmine-hyacinth heart settles onto soft iris, cedar and musk. Like most budget dupes it renders flatter and skin-closer than a boutique original, but it's a pretty, easy-wearing fresh floral.
