Clinique Happy To Be

Attention to all lover of aquatic scents. This is a great perfume for the hot summer days. It is long lasting and well formulated. I would say this IS more floral aquatic, yet the pear is quite prominent in the first hour. After a few hours, i can still smell the aquatic notes, combining with a soft spice floral creating a pleasant smell. It is rather a light pear flavor watery spicy floral scent. I recommend if you are an aquatic lover.

I wore L'eau Par Kenzo for years, back in the day, and this fragrance remind me of it. I dont have L'eau Par Kenzo on hand to compare this side by side with, so this could be different in significant ways. But I remember this and Gucci Envy Me came out a few years after L'Eau Par Kenzo and seemed to have been made to possibly follow in L'Eau Par Kenzo's success. I remember all three seemed very similar scents.

I like all the Happy family. This one is softer than the regular Happy. My husband bought a full size for me after I had my second daughter and I loved it so much I used it all up. Plus it has beautiful memories for me! I also like the Happy Heart. To me that one is brighter, more fizzy. I would like to get it sometime.

This is my favorite from the Clinique line. It is the perfect tropical fragrance for me. The hibiscus really came out on my skin, along with coconut rather than cacao. Seems like it is a love it or hate it. I love it- received tons of compliments, it had significant longevity! Wish they would release it again...

This perfume is not for everyone, it is quite rough, but that's what makes it different and unique. It can be not very nice at first, but with time it gets lighter. I smell lilac in a damp forest, then come light fruit and hibiscus. The only problem was that it didn't last on my skin :(
