Got this Eau de perfume from my mother as a gift a few years ago... as she knew i loved the scent of Clinique’s simply perfume... However I must have a change of taste.. i use to love these clean, fresh perfumes... but now I’m more attracted to sweeter floral scents.
Cliniques’ happy perfume has a very clean, crisp, citrusy over very slight floral scent.. I think this is a classic or simple perfume suitable for a formal occassion or office wear.. summer or spring. Not too overpowering.. nor too sweet. But can be a bit sharp for the nose when first sprayed.... Wasn’t quite my cup of tea for a daily wear, but not totally intolerable.
Perfumes can be hard to review sometimes.. especially when it smells good on others, but not on yourself...
However, I love the look of the simple yet elegant spray bottle... It gives me a ‘happy‘ feeling when i look at it... Definitely suits it’s name.
This scent is a big contrast to Clinique Elixir, this is a reminder of summer in the winter and summer fun when the suns shining. It is well named as its light and flirty, not to heavy or overpowering. It has never stained clothes also in contrast to the brand leader and is a feel good addition to our day. This does last well but it's not indelible so if your not returning home in the evening carry it out, would manage an office day its ease.
