Clinique Clinique Happy Heart 2012 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Clinique Happy Heart 2012 opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Water Hyacinth, and dries down to a base of Woody. Clinique's Clinique Happy Heart 2012 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This flanker to the Clinique Happy line is sharply divisive. For some, it embodies fresh, watery florals and citrus zest, evoking spring and clean laundry. For others, it's straight-up screechy, smelling like wet dog, bug spray, or industrial cleaner. Approach with caution, as it definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Given its fresh, clean, and often 'soapy' profile, this scent is ideal for casual wear, office settings, or post-gym. While some find it strong, its generally inoffensive nature makes it suitable for environments where subtlety is appreciated, but it lacks the depth for formal events or romantic dates.

About

Happy Heart 2012 opens with a zesty burst of mandarin, quickly shifting into a prominent aquatic floral heart dominated by water hyacinth. This note frequently presents as fresh, green, and watery, though some perceive it as unusually sharp. The fragrance settles into a subtle woody base, providing a clean and understated finish. Expect a clear, often linear, fresh-floral trajectory with a distinct watery embrace.
