Clinique Happy Heart 2003

I'm a Clinique girl. Love their skincare, and love their fragrances. While the original "Clinique Happy" is a great scent–I love its gin and tonic, citrusy and white floral freshness–it's the flanker "Happy Heart" that has my...well, heart. I love a good fresh fragrance, and "Happy Heart" has quickly become my signature fragrance. Like "Happy," it opens with a sparkly citrus scent, backed up by a base of gentle white wood. However, the heart notes are wear it shines. "Happy Heart" is a wash of soft, melony sweetness and aquatic freshness. The combination of cucumber and water hyacinth is nothing short of soothing and magical. There's also a slight ozonic quality to the dry down, especially on my skin. I also detect a hint of swimming pool chlorine–I think that's the cucumber in the forefront. For those of us who grew up in the 90s and 00s, "Happy Heart" bears a slight resemblance to Bath & Body Works' iconic "Cucumber Melon" products, but with a slightly more mature, green, crisper and watery edge. It's super refreshing and even rather cooling to smell and wear. I argue that it has slightly better longevity than the original "Happy," with a mild sillage. This is a really pleasant fragrance and I can't imagine it offending anybody. While it is a bit on the safe side, for me, this is like a nice glass of water with a twist of lemon and cucumber. It lifts my spirits and, yes, it does make my heart happy. I recommend this as a good, user-friendly freshie. Its relatively affordable price point doesn't hurt either.

It smells just like the Main Accords tab would have you think; cool, cirsp, fresh, ozonic and aquatic. I love the OG Happy (despite its weak longevity) and didnt think it could get much better until I decided to blindly buy this based off the notes list. OH MY GOD this is the stuff summer dreams are made of! Since this is a flanker of Happy, it does have some similar DNA, but this isn't about the bright, zingy citrus notes, this one is all about the aqueous, crisp freshness of cucumber, I'm sure someone when I was growing up used to wear this because there is something so familiar and nostalgic about it, it creates mental images of early morning drives to the beach and being sat in the park with friends on a warm, breezy day, its an easy to wear casual scent. Notes wise I get the cucumber, some slight citrussy notes from the mandarin and some very feint floral notes from the water hyacinth, its a semi linear scent on me with it only changing mildly towards the end of its 7hrs of longevity on my skin, where some slight woody nuances come out, but for the most it stays very fresh, cool and airy on me. Its a perfect daily scent for work, casual wear even the gym and I also have to say, its a really hard scent to dislike IMO especially if you like shower fresh, aquatic fragrances. Longevity is 7hrs on me with 4 sprays, silage is soft bordering on moderate; enough to get compliments but not enough to offend or irritate. Future repurchase? yes, 100%!

I have recently moved this to the top of my “up next to buy/repurchase” category. I wore this in high school (graduated in 2006, and am currently 33, married and have a 12 year old stepdaughter, as well as an 8 month old little girl... my, how times have changed!). About a month after I delivered, I received the terrible news that my high school sweetheart (who I was still friends with and respected very much) passed tragically in a weather accident. He was a well respected local firefighter and we dated from the time I was 15-20 years old. This fragrance, while certainly no fragrance masterpiece, brings me back to being a fun-loving 17 year old with not a care in the world. When I smell my sample, I am literally transported to bond fires, rides out in the country and the awesomeness that was the mid 2000’s. It was a pretty damn cool time, if you ask me. There are fragrances that transport you to a time, a memory...where it’s impossible to be objective in analyzing/judging a fragrance. This, along with a few others (including the original Ralph by Ralph Lauren) do that for me. A+ in my book!

I ́ve been trying to find a perfume that makes me feel as good as this, I ́ve smelled many and none of them have managed to say "I like this better thant Happy Heart", the only one I like "almost" like this, is Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche, not even because it is Chanel. Happy Heart is unique, unlike any other, I love it and think it's perfect for me. At the beginning appears the cucumber, then the water hyacint adds a strong and flowery note, after that, the mandarin orange makes the balance and adds a citric and exquisite freshness, these are the highlights of the perfume,the mixture between them is sharp but a minutes later becomes a delicious scent, discreet, elegant, young, and incredible long lasting. For me this perfume is great not because the ingredients are the most interesting (carrot? really?), but because together they make a unique perfume, which has the perfect balance of sweetness, floral notes, fruity notes and freshness. To me it is not just a Chypre-Floral, is a work of art. (As my last and fast review of Happy Heart, I still give it 11/10)

I first got this in 2005. It was a gift from my then boyfriend (now husband). It was a valentine's gift from him. I absolutely love the scent. It makes me feel sophisticated. My husband loves the smell on me and he is always complementing me whenever I use them. This is definitely one of my all time favorite. Not just that, I find that it draws a lot of compliments too! I get compliments when I wear this fragrance at the office especially from my colleagues and a few from my customers too. Its light and smells very nice not too strong at all. Perfect for daytime use. I wore it to a meeting at work and a guy colleague came to me asking what perfume am I using. He adores the smell and wish to buy it for his wife as well. Glad that someone else finds it nice too. The price is acceptably affordable and will definitely buy again and again. Honestly I've lost count on how many bottles I've used up..hihi

To me this is very fresh, crisp and aquatic . First off I smell citrus and citrus rinds. This never fully goes away. It's always in the background. This gives Happy Heart an invigorating, uplifting feel. I also get a strong note of clover or grass with a breeze of fresh air. I don't smell flowers really except for maybe some green ones (hyacinth) or peony. I smell something like pine in the background. The citrusy and watery, aquatic grassy notes are the most prominent. The dry down is musky woods. This isn't a sweet scent. It's more crisp. Happy Heart is a potent scent like the other Clinique fragrances. You can see the oils when you spray it on. If you don't smell it after a while your nose may have gotten used to it. It's stronger than you think.

I do believe that this scent would suite most people. It is a very pleasant and delightful scent that gets better as the day goes by. I have both Happy and Happy Heart, and Happy Heart is much nicer,in my opinion. If there was a category for clean,fresh, or soapy scents, I would put this one in that category. It is also very unique. I have not smelled a single perfume anywhere near Happy Heart. Some have said that it is too sharp for them, but I totally disagree. I find it soft and very feminine. Perfect for a work fragrance. Many think that it is a good summer scent,but I think it would be good for any time of year and any time of day. One of my all time favorite scents!

I am not a cucumber fan, but this is my FAVORITE perfume...and I thought Clinique Happy was my favorite! The cucumber in Happy Heart is nothing like Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon, so if comments on the melon note turn you off, give Happy Heart a try anyway. Happy Heart is definitely more floral than the original Clinique Happy and gets a little warmer, slightly "milky", and warm. I can imagine wearing this in the early fall. I have been enjoying Happy Heart in 100 degree Tennessee summer weather. No sneezing, no headache! I close my eyes when I wear it and I imagine my heart in my chest being full of love! Ha! Fresh! Soapy! Youthful!

This is such a CLASSIC, along with the original. Happy Heart is fresh, citrusy, slightly aquatic, and floral. It screams spring and summer to me. However, I wear it any time of year. I don't smell the carrot note but I do get the cucumber, citrus, and florals. It's got GREAT longevity and projection. Well worth the money. I love it! Part of it's appeal to me is that this reminds me so much of a body spray I use to use back in the 90s that has long been discontinued. It was called Water Lilies by Calgon and had pink packaging. It's a memory trigger for me for that reason as well. Reminds me of my childhood.... CAREFREE and LIGHTHEARTED.

This will always be one of my favorite scents. I remember when it came out back in my junior year of high school. One of my friends walked in the class room, and smelled so delicious and clean. This is such a wonderful fragrance. I definitely like Happy Heart more than Happy. Although i do still ove the original. But HH is a touch sweeter and more floral than fruity. HH is a great spring and summer scent. But i wear it all year round. I am on my 3rd bottle of this. HH has great lasting power and silleage. Even when i cant smell it on myself, people in the other side of the room will complement "the girl with the beautiful perfume" :)

Soapy, floral, beautiful. After my second bottle y gave it a rest so I would not get bored of it, after some months, I got back to it. It might not be the favourite fragrance of my collection, but it works very well in any scenario. I get many compliments when I wear it, even hours after I spray it. The first time I tried it I was expecting something more like Happy and I though it was too sweet and not fot me. After a while, I felt it on a coworker and I had to get one for myself. It was just perfect. I guess that people arround me get the same effect I had with my coworker because all the time I am being asked Wich perfume I have.

Just lovely. Fresh and clean, for sure, but this "fresh" is more "fresh air" than "just-showered". I normally hide from cucumber in fragrances, because it usually smells so loudly like itself... but here, it quietly cools the warm citrus and peppery florals... so, what you get is a gently juicy, sparkling breeze that is neither hot, nor cold, nor warm, even... just cool. Comfortable. Airy, yet interesting enough to be sexy. I can't believe there is carrot in here, because carrot, to me, is so ugh... dirty smelling? There is nothing about this scent that is dirty, or vegetal... just lilting, feminine, effervescent fresh air.

In fact, this is not a fragrance that everyone will love but it has something that I can't deny. For me, this is a very fresh clean scent but florals enough for flowery lovers. Carrot and cucumber reminds me of a picnic in a hot sunny day or walking on a beach. It's worth for my money for 50ml bottle. I can imagine this summer weekend I will wake up lately , take a shower with cool water, wearing white cotton shirt and drive to somewhere with this fragrance. Oh ! I love this fragrance, young and happiness in a pink bottle. On me very fresh from a very first but long lasting and tender til the end of the day.

The new version is absolutely nothing like the original formula. It has 3 notes. Sure they share a couple but they are only alike in the fact that they are Clinique freshies and both go by the same name. That is in my opinion where the similarities end. I'm so happy lol that I still have some of this left for this summer. My first got this I actually didn't like how much I could smell the carrot in it now years later I absolutely love it. Smelled a vegetable scent besides this one that I have ever even liked let alone loved. It'd be nice if they made this formula again just limited.

hands down my favorite perfume ever! nothing hasn't even come close for me. I fell in love with the smell right away and I've been using it for the past 5 years. the name "Happy Heart" is exactly how I feel when I wear it. My boyfriend loves this on me, he said I smell really yummy lol. It's a beautiful fragrance. Not overpowering at all and very feminine. Lasting power is good. Bottom line is Clinique Happy Heart smells wonderful on me and I guess that's all that matters lol

This has been a recent fave! I’ve had it for many years but just recently rediscovered it. It’s a beautiful “watery” fresh floral. I’ve been obsessed with this lately. Based on the notes, I wouldn’t have thought I’d like it. Lasting power is pretty descent. I get about 8 hours. Lately I’ve been using this as my work perfume because it’s nice and I believe inoffensive. I feel so feminine and fresh when I wear this perfume. It’s very casual. Definitely repurchase worthy!

This beautiful, fresh fragrance has terrific sillage and great presence, without the need to be showy. I had never had compliments from strangers before when wearing a perfume - but the day I tested this in-store, I had two. It certainly stopped me in my tracks when I tried it - something so joyful and mesmerising about it, and distinctively unique. I think I'm falling in love with Happy Heart: it could well be the scent that will keep me happy ever after!

Amazing perfume! It has been my ultimate favourite perfume of all for many years. When I wear it and close my eyes I imagine myself in flower garden, in a beautiful flowly dress on a sunny summers day. It also reminds me of a real rose. When you smell a rose there is many delicate layers of scent that combine beautifully together. It the same way when you smell this perfume it just wow! It floral, sophistacted, soft and fresh. I really love it :)

I Bought it on sale and wear the OG happy from time to time too. This is such an easy Fragrance for me to wear in Summer. Not too floral , its fresh, aquatic with just the right amount of sweetness. Funnily enough...My most complimented fragrance of all time!! The first week I wore it I got at least 6 compliments on the way I smell. Couldnt be happier as its relatively inexpensive, where Im from , to replace a bottle when it runs out .
