About

Clinique Happy opens with an unmistakable hit of juicy orange, tart blood grapefruit, and crisp bergamot, creating a sparkling, almost fizzy citrus rush. This energetic start quickly melds with a bouquet of fresh-cut freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and soft orchid, lending a clean, airy floral heart. Hints of green apple and plum add depth without sweetness, while the drydown is subtle, with gentle mimosa, powdery musk, and a whisper of amber. The whole experience is fresh, breezy, and transparent-like sunshine on a spring morning, bottled.
