Happy

Happy, a Fresh Cheerful Citrus Floral

Clinique Happy is a fresh cheerful citrus floral. Our version keeps that feel, opening with grapefruit, bergamot, and mandarin before a freesia, melon, and morning dew heart settles over rose, orchid, and mimosa.

The Story Behind the Scent

Clinique built Happy as a bright, feel-good scent, all zesty citrus and soft flowers. The idea was a sunny, uplifting cheer.

That fresh cheer is why it became an icon. The grapefruit and bergamot keep it zesty, the freesia and melon add a soft floral touch, and the rose and mimosa keep it warm. Our interpretation follows that same sunny path.
