This is a modern, bright cologne that works well in the summer and in casual or office settings. It starts with a remarkable blast of orangy notes, yuzu and citrus that is rather effusive and expansive. The middle notes are slightly greeny and there is some light flower in there, perhaps jasmine. The drydown includes light cypress and a soft wood of some kind.
Clinique Happy is not overly complex after its opening and it possesses a slight ozone quality that many modern colognes have. It does project a cheery feeling that makes you feel good. There is a sour note in the drydown that doesn't agree with me but that's a personal reaction based on my nose. I do think anyone looking for a well made, modern citrus might enjoy this one.
