About Happy
Clinique is best known for Happy from 1997, a citrus-floral built on grapefruit and lily that became one of the most universally liked department store fragrances with wide demographic appeal. Happy remains the most sought-after fragrance in the catalog, built on grapefruit, mandarin, lily, rose, musk, cedar. It sits well in the designer tier, delivering projection and longevity that compare favorably with other fragrances at the same Sephora and department store price range.
Happy Heart takes the line in a different direction. It appeals to buyers who want something from Clinique that reads differently from the signature. Aromatics Elixir rounds out the catalog with a third option covering men and women who want yet another direction in the same quality tier.
