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 :(

Why did they discontinued this?!...Happy To Be is by far my favorite version among the Happy line. It's very fresh, uplifting, bright... perfect for summer and those carefree days at the beach!...I received many compliments when I wore this. I wish they bring it back!!...

clean, crispy, lightly sweet, uplifting, feminine, innocent, feels like you are drinking a cup of iced orange juice in the hottest summer when you are most thirsty! Never get bored. Luckily I have got back up bottles in amazing price:)

I loved Clinique Happy to Be so much. It's not too sweet like Clinique Happy. Unfortunately, it's discontinued.

I'm basing this review on a small EDP spray that my mom received as a gift with purchase when she bought Clinique makeup. She passed it along to me. I like this, especially the top water notes, but the base notes are a little too sweet for me. I like it in very hot weather, and I'm using it up, but I won't be sorry when the bottle is empty. I will say that it has really good longevity as an EDP should. I prefer Happy and Happy Heart to this flanker. If you like sweet fruity florals, you'll like this. EDIT: The more I wear this, the better I like it. It really shines in hot weather. The pear note almost smells like orange on me, but not a real orange. It's like orange flavored candy, kind of. I do like the pear note! However, I still don't plan to buy a full bottle of this. I want to add a bit more to my review. I'd say this is office safe, spray with care if you sit very close to people. Also, I'd say it's not a safe blind buy unless you know you like sweet fragrances. And I also think it's not a safe gift, again unless you know the recipient likes sweet fruity fragrances.

The aroma of cacao is so dominant that I hardly felt any other scented note... the great aromatherapy! Hibiscus is weak in contact with the powerful aroma of cacao. Must be applied immediately after showering, just on a very clean skin, then the most convincing. It seems to me that this is a scent that evokes a good mood. Perhaps it's more for the younger population, but certainly for all those who worship the smell of cacao.I am one of them, and I love the smell of hot chocolate, gourmet and quite unique.

On my skin, this doesn't smell aquatic in the slightest. For me, it dries down to a soft lilac floral and more licorice/anise than sandalwood. Interesting.

I'm not sure where I stand, I wanted to like this. But then again, I was never a fan of the Clinique Happy line. I gave it to an officemate and she loved it. So there's that.

This is the strangest scent!! I can't even decide what notes I'm smelling, lol! Ahhh why does it confound me so? =/ *pouts* Well easy first impression is: yes it smells metallic! Somehow it just... gives that impression.Salty, that's what it is. Something makes it seem salty + aquatic which lends it a metallic feel somehow.Gimme a bit; maybe I can tell you more exactly what kind of metal I mean. (BRB, sprays more, lets it sit...) Rust. That's a bit what it smells like that's reminding me of metal but it's more like... salty and GREEN. *gasp!* CELERY!! It smells like celery. Yes, that's it. The deeply green kind you get that's very dense in watery saltiness, as when you buy organic or just the young sprouted celery in a deep green color! That, is what this is on my skin. With some other things mingling w/ it but I still can't place the other things. Very unusual. Not something I will wear. I keep seeing reviews calling this a 'lovely, uplifting floral bouquet!' so I do wonder if it's chemistry-based. Too funny.

i expeced soooo much more for THIS PRICE man.... thanks god i bought it on ebay for 15 euros and not a new one for 60 or 70 euros, its so unspecial and boring, hibiscus, rose and fruits, smells a bit like a fresh orangejuice... the staying power is not good on me, it is a sporty, fresh, spring and summer scent, but believe me, sooo ordinary that i think there are so much more scents for 15 or 20% of this HORRIBLE PRICE who smell WAY BETTER and STAY WAY LONGER... (i sold it again on ebay after wearing it once, and i got more money for it than i bought it for, maybe because other trust clinique as a label too much too - thank u happy, for the few extra euros;))

I was given this perfume as a gift. It's fortunate that I didn't spend my own money on it, because it's quite possibly the worst perfume I have ever had the misfortune of smelling. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but to me it's very gross- it smells very chemical and a little metallic to me. I tried it more than once and waited quite a while before scrubbing it off to see if the scent would change on my skin much, but it only got worse (though thankfully less intense) as time went on.

Back when it came out, I thought I was buying the regular Clinique Happy but I didn't realize this till now that it was actually Happy to Be. I remember throwing out the bottle because it smelled bad and keeping the little roll-on that went with the gift set. I took it out and tried it on and now realize why I threw it out- smells like PISS. It sort of goes away yet still this roll-on is going in the garbage too (many years later).

I had high expectations for happy to be. I thought it would be some nice flower scent with nice woodsy undertones. Anyway, the wood in it, is very "dirty" on my skin.Didn't remind me of sandalwood at all... It also seemed to overpower every other note. I washed it off almost immediately!

I hate this, I sprayed once and vowed to never wear it again. I was given a small bottle of this and, I agree with one review below, it does smell a bit like rust. It's very strong, I had to wash my wrists after putting this on.

i usually dont dislike perfume but ones by clinique. All the happy line products smell yucky and awful to me.. Just sniffing them make me feel nauseaous.. im sorry idont understand why they keep challenging the perfume industry.

This was marginally better than the original Happy. Still pretty awful. Maybe it was the water note, but to me it just smelled like alcohol / chemicals and a strong, musky flower.
