Clinique Happy is a fragrance created by Jean Claude Delville and Rodrigo Flores-Roux in 1998. The fragrance is for women, but tends to target teens. It’s a fresh, fruity floral scent that’s often described as “cheery.” In our Clinique Happy review, we’ll look deeper into all the basics of the scent profile, including how it smells and it’s longevity.
Clinique Happy Review: The Basics
The Clinique Happy bottle is simple, yet elegant, in its design. It’s made of clear glass with a frosted finish. The bottle appears to resemble a tear drop. The cap is made of silver metal and has the famous Clinique logo embossed over it.
The bottle comes in a white box with a pink ribbon, making it a perfect gift.
The packaging is as clean as the perfume’s scent profile, we assume intentionally. The silver cap adds a touch of luxury, and the pink ribbon is the bow on top.
The bottle is available in sizes of 1.7 oz, 3.4 oz, and 5.0 oz.
The packaging is made of recyclable paper.
The perfume is cruelty-free and vegan.We have Clinique Happy samples in stock now. So if you’d rather pass on the rest of the review and try it yourself, you’ve got that option.

Final Notes
Clinique Happy is a 1990’s peppy, happy scent experience. It’s often aligned more with teens, but it can be worn by all women. It’s a wonderful scent for any occasion. The downside is that Happy last only around 6 hours, so you’ll need to reapply if you intend to wear day and night.
