Clinique Clinique Happy To Be is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Olivier Cresp. Clinique Happy To Be opens with Pear and Rainwater, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Rose, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Sandalwood. Clinique's Clinique Happy To Be carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent - you'll either want to bathe in its fresh, fruity goodness or you'll be running for the hills. Some call it crisp and uplifting, others say it's rusty and just plain awful. Not a safe blind buy, mate.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and aquatic nature makes it perfect for casual wear and sports, especially in hot weather. While some find it office-safe, its strong aquatic notes could be too much for formal or intimate date settings. Longevity is noted as good for an EDT, which means it probably projects enough to be noticed.

About

Imagine biting into a juicy, crisp pear after a summer rain shower, followed by a light, airy bouquet of hibiscus, rose, and lilac. It's predominantly a fresh, aquatic floral, but a whisper of warm cacao and creamy sandalwood in the drydown attempts to ground the effervescence, adding a touch of unexpected sweet sophistication to an otherwise bright and clean composition.
