I was first introduced to this clinique fragrance when my boyfriend gave it me as a Valentines gift a couple of years ago and have used it ever since. In my opinion it is the perfect everyday perfume as the smell is fresh, crisp and flowery without being overpowering.
Clinique describe this product as being: "a hint of citrus, a wealth of flowers and a mix of emotions". Beautifully put and very apt for this scent. Clinique go on to say that this perfume is designed to arouse a state of complete happiness, hence the name! Now I'm not sure I can back up a claim that simply by waering this perfume you will lead a happier life but cerainly there is something about this fragrance which is pleasing and for me it certainly evokes happy memories. For the smell tends to remind me of summer holidays or being in the mediterranian sun amongst the lemon groves.
The fragrance is made up of: Ruby Red Grapefruit, Boysenberry flower and Hawaian wedding flower. Clinique claim these scents have never been used together before in a perfume which would account for the truly distinctive, orginal smell of Happy.
The Happy range is presented well in a bright orange box with a small, stylish label of Clinique happy towards the top. The box looks stylish and should appeal to a wide audience. The perfeume itself comes in a tall, slender bottle - again plain with the small, stylish clinique name at top.
This perfume is widely availiable in chemists and department stores. For a guide to pricing Boots sell it on their website at present at the folllowing prices:
Clinique Hapy Perfume Spray 100ml, £42.50
Clinique Happy Perfume Spray 50ml, £29.50
Clinique Hapy Body Smoother £19.50
The only disadvantage I can think of with this product is that as it tends to be a slightly lighter fragrance its staying power to be seems to be less than some others. However I would definitely reccommend this to anyone and anyone thinking of buying a loved one a gift - what better one than a product designed to make them feel and smell happy!
