Clinique 2005 EDT
Clinique Happy To Be
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 Rain, 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 fruity-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Best Occasions
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.

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
