Happy smells better sprayed in the air than on the skin. I think you must have a certain body chemistry to wear it and sadly most people don't have it. Happy to Be is much better.

Clinique Happy takes me back to my high school days! I guess I would say that this was my “signature” scent in high school. It is a bright, fresh, flirty and fun fragrance. It has bright citrus notes that make this perfect for the daytime. Most people think this is a scent focused at the younger crowd, which it fits well, but I think it works for any woman who is looking for a bright sparkling citrus scent to wear. Even though it reminds me of high school, I do still reach for it and find it just as enjoyable as I did then.

I love, love, LOVE Happy perfume

it was not the real thing i didnt even use it

I love Happy. At least, I used to. I still WANT to love it, but my body chemistry has changed, and now it just doesn't smell the same on me. :( This perfume only gets better as it develops through the day. I still give it 5 stars, and my husband just bought me a new bottle last weekend. Unfortunately, the heavy doses of pain medications I am on apparently have changed my chemistry. I wish I could find a new favorite perfume. Can someone recommend something similar to Happy that I might like? I also used to love Liz Claiborne's "Curve" (the plain original scent), but same story-- it too smells different on me now.

This is not the type of perfume that I would wear when I go out but something that I use when I go to work because it has a citrus smell that made it somehow strong. You have to put on a generous amount for you to smell it and do not last that long.

This is fresh, citrus and flowery, is a great pick-me-up scent.

A very good friend gave me a bottle of Happy when my father died. It is her signature scent, and she said that it always makes her happy when she sprays it on in the morning. She was hoping it would do the same for me. Between the sentiment behind the gift and the fabulous scent of Happy, I must report that it does in fact make me happy. This is by far the best scent ever.

hi all, i commented very breifly before but i would like to elaborate more.I spent alot of money to find my signature scent..I finally found it, this perfume is fabulous, so feminine and clean and lasts long... nice simple bottle , its cost is nice and u can find it anywhere. I brought me a big bottle and my 10 yr old a bottle to, its good for all ages. and i feel great wearing perfect touch when ur all cleaned up and ready to go

love it,

It was excellent from far away, but actually on my body and skin, waaayyy TOO strong. Made me sick.

I love the scent of happy. It's perfect for spring and summer. Hubby says yuk!!

Happy is by far the best perfume I have ever worn and I have made it my signature scent. I look foward to putting it on in the mornings because it makes my whole day great. The smell suits my personality... lively, optimistic, bubbly....happy!

THIS IS ONE OF CLINIQUE'S BEST FRAGRANCES I LOVE IT! IT CAN BE WORN DAY OR NIGHT AND BE NOTICEABLE TO MEN & WOMEN.

Happy works well on me. I love the fresh, citrusy top notes and it just gets better as it develops. It lasts for hours and is the perfect scent for any occasion, day or night. A plus: hubby loves it.

Hi. I'm only 13 and this is my first grownup perfume. i got it as an early christmas gift last year and it smells very nice. This is also my grandma's favorite too.

It must just be a chemistry thing with Happy. I get stopped by strangers (especially men) asking me what I am wearing and telling me that it is the best smelling perfume they have ever gotten a whiff of. It lasts 10-14 hours on me, too. I love it!!!

Bought it for my mom on her 60th last year because she wanted it. It's innofensive, I can't as such fault it but it doesn't excite me in any way and fruitsy, happy scents are supposed to be me. Maybe my tastes are "maturing" or my chemistry has changed. I wouldn't buy it for myself. My mom's a streamlined person with lots of interests and very active social life but she's not a particularly "deep" type in any way. Very much like this perfume, imo.

i love it, since i was in college i already have been adoring this scent. it makes me go around my daily tasks.. its always a must buy for me!!! :) my husband love it!!

This is a perfect scent esp now that it's summer. I love this scent so much that this is my 3rd bottle. I get lots of compliments when I wear this. The citrus notes really lifts my spirits and make me feel happy. =)

I love happy I wear it everyday and have been for almost 10 years now

Perfume gives me a headache. Too many chemicals. Smells like bad body odor. I prefer Annick Goutal.

I LIKE THIS FRAGRANCE SMELLS GREAT CLEAN CITRUS SCENT. I GET ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS FROM MEN AND WOMEN. I ALSO LIKE HAPPY HEART MEN LOVE HAPPY HEART.

A perfume should make you smell good than normal but its otherwise in my case...My own smell is better...I do'nt believe that its a bestseller!

i ADORE this perfume. it is not too heavy and perfect for everyday use and night use. Every time i wear it i get loads of compliments. it wafts everywhere and is just gorgeous.

I've never owned Happy, but I did receive Mary Kay's Velocity as a gift. I've read that some people think Velocity smells like a more floral Happy. I like it because it's easy and fresh-smelling. Burberry Brit is still my favorite, but Velocity seems to last a bit longer and it's cheaper too.

Well, my girlfriend wears this parfume and I think it's absolutely gorgeous, I'd kiss her neck all day long. Lovely parfume.

There is nothing wrong with Happy, but there is nothing that makes it stand out as great either. It reminds me of almost every other perfume that was big in the late 90’s. It’s innocent, fruity, floral, which is great for a teenager, but is not the kind of perfume I’m attracted to anymore.

I like this one, It's good and clean, but I prefer the new Happy in Bloom. I also like Happy for men to go to the gym or to work. They are all light clean scents, I feel good w/ them.

The best fragrance I have ever had. For ladies who like smells of bergamot and grapefuit.I tried a lot of different kinds, but always came back.

I noticed that poor Happy is not well loved on the fragrance boards, maybe because it is finicky with some people. It worked very well on me, however, and I used to receive compliments on it. It does have the effect of lifting my spirits. My husband isn't crazy about it - says it's ok if you want to smell like a glass of orange juice. This type of simple, breezy, uplifting scent is perfect for me. If you're into richer oriental or spicy/woody, heavier fragrances, then you might not be happy with Happy. You might prefer Coco Mlle or Allure or Addict, something like one of those. And that's great! Each to his own! :-)

At first it was very strong! but when I asked my sister to wear it, it smells clean & nice from her. So I become like it too. Happy for Men is better, I wish Happy for Woman could do better...pity.

Okay, so I liked this perfume when I was seventeen (I don't think my nose was fully evolved then) and I'm completely brand-loyal to all Clinique makeup--but this perfume stinks!!! It smells like double sugar-coated gum drops. Very childish fragrance. NOT nice.

I love this fragrance! I have loved it since I first tried it. Try it, I think you'll agree. *~Stace~*

love it love it, i always get people asking me what are you wearing that smells so wonderful.

I LOVE THE FRAGRANCE,WHEN I FIRST SMELLED IT I LOVED IT, I HAD PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND SAY WHAT IS THAT YOU HAVE ON GIRL THAT SMELL GOOD. I TELL THEM IF THE BODY CHEMISTRY DON'T MATCH THEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM OTHER THAN THAT IT'S ALL THAT.

The scent was pleasant enough - I had a bottle a few years ago. It just didn't have any depth or 'soul' to it, to me. Another drawback was that everyone and their sister was wearing it, plus my half full bottle literally went bad in less than a year with proper storage.

I received Happy several times in gift with purchase sets when I buy clinique mascara or other clinque products. But I could never enjoy the perfume. Even when I smell it on other people, it is not pleasant. Seems like lots of ladies love it, but not me. There is something a bit sharp about it to my nose. I dont like sharp perfumes.

Happy is a refreshing scent that has a hint of oranges, not too citrusy though but slightly sweet. I also like the men's version but never thought my husband would wear it as he has his own fav. Happy is not one that I would wear all the time or everyday but it fits the bill when you want a pick me up and a scent that is not too heavy or oriental. Give it a try if you haven't. You won't be disappointed.

AFTER GOING TO THE MALL THIS PAST WEEKEND;I SMELLED A FEW OF THE NEWEST PERFUMES OUT RIGHT NOW.FOR SOME REASON NOTHING SMELLED BETTER THAN MY CLINIQUE HAPPY.TO ME HAPPY IS A WEAR ANYTIME,ANYWHERE TYPE FRAGRANCE.I'M HAPPY TO WEAR THIS SCENT.

The scent doesn't last over an hour, and the honeysuckle note is too strong and not harmonic. Besides, it's still one of my favorite´s perfumes for casual wear.

"HAPPY" WHAT IS IT TO SAY ABOUT THIS LOVELY SCENT.I MEAN IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR PREFERENCE. I LOVE A SCENT LIKE HAPPY.SURE IT IS A CLEAN,FRESH, UNCOMPLICATED FRAGRANCE BUT THIS GRACIOUS SCENT WILL LAST YOU THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS SCENT ISN'T OFFENSIVE ESPECIALLY IN THE WORKPLACE.YOUR COLLEAGUES WILL NOT SMELL YOU COMING BEFORE YOU ENTER THE ROOM!!!

The notes described here are almost funny in their creativity. Maybe I'm unsophisticated, but I found no range of experience here. From my notes: Simple, sweet, mild, clean, flat. Not very interesting.

HI LADIES JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW HAPPY IS A ALL TIME FAVORITE OF MINE. HAPPY IS JUST THE ULTIMATE PERFUME.I BUY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PERFUME BUT FOR SOME REASON I ALWAYS PICK UP HAPPY.FROM NOW ON I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE MONEYTO BUY THE LATEST FRAGRANCE. I WILL JUST STICK TO MY TRIED AND TRUE HAPPY.IT'S A CLEAN,FRESH,SEXY,DAYTIME,NIGHTIME,WEAR TO WORK TYPE FRAGRANCE.HAPPY WILL NOT OFFEND ANYONE.THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THAT HAPPY IS A VERY VERY POPULAR CLASSIQUE FRAGRANCE.

I was introduced to this by just about every female in my family. From the great-grandmother down to the 8 year-old, every female in my family just LOVES this fragrance! And I have to say that I do too! I've always gotten compliments on it... so here's my compliments to Clinique!

I would just say thanks to all the guys who tell us girls what they think. I really think we needs a mans opinion sometimes. And I always reads your comments. Love from a Norwegian girl. :-)

The first time I smelled this fragrance, I didn't like it at all. I think it was because it was so different from anything I had smelled before. Through buying makeup during bonus time-I got several samples of it, and it grew on me. Now it is one of my favorites!! Very refreshing and uplifting!

HAPPY BY CLINQUE IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PERFUME. IT IS THE MOST INVIGORATING SCENT ON THE MARKET. A TRUE FRAGRANCE THAT WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE AND WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

this is a nice, "happy" kind of fragrance; not clinique's most interesting line, but good "go to" scents. they're pleasant and fresh and i often find myself reaching for the "happys" when i don't know what to put on or if I'm going out shopping for the day and want a pretty and clean fragrance but nothing heavy or complicated (if you're looking for something more intense or complex in the clinique line try 'wrappings' or 'elixir.')

HAPPY IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME FRESH,CLEAN, SEXY,UPLIFTING SCENTS YOU WANT TO BUYAND IT LASTS. I HAVE SEVERAL PERFUMES AND I ALWAYS GO BACK TO MY HAPPY.YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON SUCH A WONDERFUL PERFUME. IT IS THE BOMB. I KNOW IT IS A POPULAR SCENT BUT IT SMELLS DIFFERENT ON EVERYONE.I LOVE HAPPY SO MUCH I WISH I COULD WORK FOR THE COMPANY AS A SPOKESPERSON.

You can never put an age limit on any citrus or clean based perfume! They go well with everyone, and happy has been good for a ton of women. I have many many perfumes, but still go back to this.

HAPPY IS A FRESH, CLEAN PERFUME THAT WILL MAKE ANY WOMANS DAY.WEAR HAPPY AND BE HAPPY.MY FAVORITE PERFUME.

Happy is very energizing and light. I love it because it's a great perfume for any casual occassion. I probably wouldn't wear it out at night. My only complaint is that it's a bit too light, so the smell goes away quicker than most other perfumes.

Happy, is exactly what it says, very energizing. The compliment were off the hook wearing this. Every perfume is not for everybody. Such is life. Wouldn't wear for romantic usage, its too upbeat. Just my opinion!

If I could only have one fragrance then this would be it! It's light, clean, crisp, just a perfect scent. I think they named it perfect too, just the smell of it makes me happy! I've never had anyone say they didn't like the smell, just lots of compliments! Great perfume Clinique!!

I think this is the worst smelling fragrance I've ever been unlucky enough to come into contact with. Beware!

When I smelled it sprayed on a card, the initial smell was very pleasant... then it dried down to a medicinal, herbal... salty kind of odour.. No wonder, someone earlier here (Romeo) said it smelled like balloons.. the salty rubber smell... this one is not exactly like rubber... but definitely is a salty smell as its dry down... What a pity.. the top note was alluring while it lasted... just make sure it doesn't dry down! ;)

This fragrance is absolutely amazing... It is so fresh and young and it makes you feel, well, happy of course. I love it!

I've been wearing Happy for about a week now. I love it, and I like the way it makes me feel---happy! I don't think it's all that sophisticated, but I like it. When I want to feel more sophisticated, I wear a different scent. It's nice and light for summer.

I have been wearing happy for many years now and I still get stopped and asked "What are you wearing?"........."That is a great scent."........ I let them know that I wear Clinique Happy. I think that most scents are way to over-powering....... are you wearing it or is it wearing you? Most gag you from across the room....yuck! I am one of those people that firmly believe a little goes a long way..... you don't need to take a bath in the stuff to smell good. I usually use one 3.4 oz. bottle a year, I wear the scent everyday even if I am just sitting around the house. It is my signature scent. It is about getting the right scent and right combinations that set it off. Morning - daytime light and refreshing... play up the citrus....it will energize you. A good daytime combo with Happy is Bath & Body Works energizing line. You will be amazed! Happy is not just for daytime either ladys.... I turn it into a nighttime scent by putting it with a very unheard of lotion that you can only get at one store. (Blu) I have gotten so many comments when I go out it is not even funny, not just by the men either. Have fun with it and be HAPPY. Congrats Clinique on a scent well done!

This one is a very nice perfume, I feel energetic when I wear it, I get lots of compliments every time I spray it on !!! worth the $$$

Who could not LOVE this product!!! I mean seriously all these sour pusses that are leaving bad message about this perfume probably have no normal sense of smell and are lonely cranky grumps that have nothing better else to do with all the time they have on their hands. Every person that has ever smelled this scent give so many compliments. It's a clean, sexy and fresh fragrance that is timeless. Oh and to all those who say it smells like rotten oranges....only you would know since it's probably something you suck on on a daily basis and gives you that bitter look on your faces. "Happy" We love ya!!

i love this perfume everyone ask what is that fragrance you are wearing.

yes i like the whole flowery fragrance but trust me it can be very overwhelming even when i spray just a little

that I really enjoy this one. It puts me in a better mood as soon as I spray it on. It's the only "green" fragrance I wear. It stays on me for a long time and I feel good when I wear it.

Dear Yvonne, What's a young scent? Society has pegs fruity florals or sugary florals as young, but how do you feel? I say, if you love Happy, then keep on wearing it until YOU no longer enjoy it. Forget about ideas. Fragrance is about enjoyment, and anyway, you sound like a young lady to me. You are as young as you feel, or as young as you smell. As for substitutes...I think that Azzura has the same fruity/floral, uplifting mood of Happy, and might be somewhat more mature according to society's standards. They don't smell exactly the same, but they're similar, in my opinion. Try that! But I still think you should pick what fragrance makes you happiest.

I have been wearing this almost 5 years. I have tried dozens of other scents, literally, since but haven't found any I like better for daily, casual, or work (with ill people). My question is, at 50, am I getting too old for this? I have also been dissappointed with the lasting ability (not long enough). What's everyone's ideas regarding age appropriateness and substitution suggestions if it is a "young" scent?

I must defend my Happy! In a land of fruit and flowers, this is a very lovely, very unique fragrance that is uplifting, joyous, fresh, and delicious! I usually prefer richer, more vanilla oriental perfumes over citrus scents, but this one is a winner for me. It gives me energy, brightens my mood, and smells wonderful! I realize that everyone's perfume taste is on an individual basis, but I had to defend my Happy!

I have owned this for quite a while. I unmistakably bought this while it was super hot. I personally don't like a super citrusy/cleaner type smell so I did not fall in love with this. It is not repulsive, just not great. Since the time I bought this my nose has evolved.

All Clinique Fragrances smeels likes balloons and I hate balloons smeel. Women should wear something sexy like Michael by Kors, Versace Woman by Versace, Lolita....but not this! Aggghhhh.....balllloooonnnss!!!

This smells like something that girls in high school would spray on after they snuck a smoke in the bathroom. Yuck!

I used to work for Clinique so I wore this fragrance ALL the time. Very bright and clean--but not very lasting. Body products are only so-so. But men love this fragrance! Trust me on this! Wear it on a date and keep a small sample (from GWP) in your evening bag to freshen up.

First of all, I am writing because so many people are posting how offensive it is. It is such a light fruity floral scent that I don't see how anyone could say it stinks... maybe somewhat boring, but not offensive! My mom who is a very young 70 something loves Happy. It is her favorite because it is light and she is not a person who cares for things that smell too strong or unusual. I have a more 'evolved' nose than her being that I am a lover of scents (perfume, candles, aromatherapy, etc) and I do think it lacks sophistication and is a somewhat boring scent, but nonetheless, it is not what you would call bad! If you think Happy is bad, you haven't smelled many perfumes out there... there are many which truly are offensive, elderly, and/or strong.

I originally came in contact with Happy by Clinique about six years ago. I smelled it as a co-worker walked by me. I have to advise anybody interested in purhcasing this perfume that you can only appreciate this top-noted citrus scented perfume after you have worn it for about 5 to 10 minutes. If you were to smell this perfume straight from the bottle or on a perfume card it may seem very overpowering and strong; however, after it wears down it is very pleasant. This is one of those scents that you have to let calm down to appreciate it.

This is by far the youngest, sexiest, girliest perfume ever made. If you're under 30 years old, you just can't go wrong with this. It is absolutely delicious. Irresistible.

I'm actually only 17 and I luv happy it smells so good and everyone I know luv how it smells on me. I also have clinique simply and i luv that too. The whole brand of clinique is great! I wannabe their spokeperson i luv them so much

I use Clinique mascara and sometimes receive a gift package with perfume included. This is how I discovered Happy perfume, but it is not my style. I like more powdery scents and this is more sharp I guess.

This is a fresh, citrusy scent that is refreshing and energizing without being overwhelmingly sweet. However, like someone mentioned happened to her, there is something about it that doesn't agree with my chemistry. It smells great out of the bottle and sprayed on clothes, but not all that great on me. I'd definitely recommend trying this one out on yourself before buying a bottle.

I think the reason thatthe scent fades after an hour or so isnt becuase its a worthless perfume, I think it maybe just that you have become used to the smell is all. I spray Happy on my jacket and the scent seems to last me for days. I myself honestly believe it is one of my most favorite perfumes ever. To any of you out there that care, you should definately try Hot Couture by Givenchy...I have been using that perfume for 3 years now and still love it just as strong! I always get plenty of compliments on it too.

it has a good scent but it fades too quickly only in 5 or 10 mins. not worth buying

This scent is great. It has been out since 1996, and I'm sure if it had just come out today, it would be a hit also. Bravo Clinique! ,this is a classic American scent.

You chicks like Happy cuz the guys love it and they give you positive attention, but since so many chicks wear that, you hate Happy cuz then you are not unique. And more importantly, if it just so happens that some other chick wears Happy and the guy you are with (or want) loves it.... oh no.... COMPETITION!! Hmmm should you wear this popular perfume or not?

It's so much better than the other disgusting scents out there. Wear this to instantly cheer up. It lasts long too. For people who have sensitive noses, I suggest spraying a tiny bit on the insides of your elbow.

Unbelieveable scent, I just purchased my second 100 ml bottle, with a bonus 15ml purse size spray, body lotion and shower gel. Awesome stuff, lifts my spirits, it is great day or night fragrance. I think I will always have this as part of my perfume collection. I also get the most compliments from this fragrance over all others I own. I own quite an extensive collection - Chanel No. 5, Givenchy scents, Lancome, but this is probably the one I wear most!

You know it's so funny how so many women have a different interpretation on how this scent smells! This scent smells clean and fresh and crisp, better than any other heavy,disgusting, (kill-the-rats-pronto) perfume that women seems to slather on. Why don't ladies that critique this truly femenine scent just pour their old- grandma-bug-spray supposedly perfume on, or maybe they just got that horrible femenine problem and need to cover it up - just a thought ;-). Go Clinique!!!!

Remember, when purchasing perfume, you are getting it for male attractment, remember that. Men love it! so do I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but I truly hate this stuff, it's so bad !!! To me, it's smells like rotten oranges.

This smells like a medicin with orange juice. Horrible.

When I smelled it first in a magazine ad, I thought this fragrance was awesome, but when I sprayed it on my skin, I thought it smelled like rubber. I am absolutely in love with the new version Happy Heart.Anyway,everyone has a different liking for scents so try it yourself!

I think this is a very nice,lush fragrance. Fresh citrus bouquet,but floral with a depth of sexy dry down. It mixes well with most skin I think. Don't ever rub in "any" perfume! That just messes it all up, and you risk it smelling awful. Just let it dry as it is and then you really know if you like it or not. This is tropical,fruity, but flowery happiness. When I first sprayed it, I thought my bottle was old. Later I found out it was just one of the top notes that fades away, and I can live with what's left...clean. Not cleaning fluid!

For some reason this does nothing for me. I got it as a gift and sad to say I don't wear it at all. The Men's smell much better.

Happy is a very good name for a fragrance. But the fragrance itself tells a different story. Happy doesn't have a good structure, it smells of a single all-mixed-together note with a sharpness edging on harshness. Overall effect is cheap and sickening. Makes me unhappy indeed.

Meet Happy's cousin , Not Happy! I Know two Ladies that wear happy. Both, smell bad!!!!!! They think it is a Clean Crisp smell. Yah, I would not use Happy to clean my toilet!!!

this is a light,clean,nice to be around perfume. It doesn't suffocate like some really heavy& (overly used) perfumes do. It reminds me of tropics and fresh flowers... If You can stand it on a hot or cold day,and in an elevator,then it's a good one!

This is a really fresh scent that smells like grapefruit. I bought the big bottle of it when it first came out expecting to use it and then everywhere I went I ran into people who wore this--religiously. I ended up working with a girl who absolutely swam in this stuff--and we worked in a "scent-free" workplace. So I ended up hating the scent because she overdid it so much. So now I have a big unused bottle of the stuff.

This is my June/July/August scent. I love the way it works with my chemistry. May not be for everyone though. I've had my bottle for 4 years now, and it still smells light and fresh. Keeping it in a cool, dark place helps preserve the fragrance as well.

I have to say I agree with Rainfaerie and the poster before her. What is the deal with this stuff????? I have smelled it on others and thought "really boring! Just a plain, light sweet floral. YAWN!" Then I tried it on myself once, and I was VERY unhappy! It smelled like cheap, dimestore, lemon-pledge hell on me! Double triple yuck. But really, Happy's worst crime is being so criminally bland, even on people who's body chemistry doesn't turn it into urine water!

For some reason, the Clinique scents disagree with my chemistry, and unfortunately, 'Happy' is no exception. Even those of you that love 'Happy' would be begging me to go away if you could've smelled.

Ladies, Ladies, I cannot say enough about how absolutely disgusting this scent is. Wow, I cannot believe anyone would wear this. I mean, what is the goal for one who wears this? Perhaps, to induce a headache for everyone around you? Please, don't waste your money, my aspirin, or any guy's faith in perfume with this nasty stuff!

This is a great summer fragrance, however, it's a very common scent. Also, the staying power could be better.

Nice and light fragrance not over-powering. Nice perfume if you want something subtle.

I have the same problem with this scent, smells nice but disappears too quickly..........SA told me to layer it with body lotion first......Estee Lauder Pleasures lasts much longer, had no problem with staying power..but it is less fruity and more floral if you like that.

I LOVE the scent, but it does not last at all on me. I couple it with the shower gel and body lotion and have yet to get any compliments on it. I think it does smell good on me, but disappears within the first hour. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I just bought happy and i love it,beautifull and clean, can someone tell me what CLINIQUE SIMPLE SMELLS LIKE, THANK YOU.

I tried a sample of this and tired of the smell very quickly, it reminded me of fruit-scented shampoo. Suitable for the very young, it's not sophisticated or sexy at all and would not hold up to evening occasions. I agree that it smells like a fruit drink. Give it to the teenagers who can probably get away with it.

I wish I had tried this sooner. I had been wearing Pleasures for a long time, then I happened to spray Happy on my wrist and went shopping. I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. Pleasures is nice too, but I like the fruitier notes in Happy. I feel so happy and confident when I wear this. It has a nice citrusy, smokey scent.....if that makes sense.!

I have been out with several guys since I have purchased this and out of all my perfumes this is the only one that I get a reply "you smell great! or Yummy"

To me the fragrance reminds me of an orange creamsicle. I love it for summer.

If you ever wanted to know what fun smells like, this is it!!!!!

Ladies this stuff smells great. I met my girlfriend in college and this is the thing that did it for me. U need this.

This is one of my favourite perfumes.I get stopped all the time and told that I smell delicious,wonderful etc. everytime I wear it I feel really good!....Happy!

i use to love happy because it smells so good on me but peole i work with was asking what i was wearing and now the whole office wanted to try iy because it smelled good on me but sorry i don't think so!!! it is MY signature fragrance!!! EVERYONE CAN'T WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!

My co worker wears this and its a really uplifting fragrance in a very depressing office

Love Happy! Very clean and fresh. Someone below asked about Clinique Simply! Smells horrible on me--like black licorice, which I can't stand. It smelled okay for the first couple minutes, then went bad....

I just cant like this one..love the name..who wouldnt..but it smells like a fruit cocktail to me...no thanks. Thats not going to make me or anyone around me too happy.

this is a must have in my drawer. everytime i almost finish a bottle, i get a new one right away. have been wearing this for 5 years now. i never grow tired of it. fits my active lifestyle.

I think this fragrance smells like honey. My husband likes it but I dont.

What a horrible scent!!! Mixture of orange peel and cigarete smoke smell. Strong. Repulsive!

This is one of my very favorite scents. I will never be without this and I especially like to layer the cologne with the lotion - I get tons of compliments!

I love this fragrance and will buy it again. The scent stays true on me and is not strong as long as you do not use more than two sprays..Perfect!

Didn't like Happy ,it was too citrusy-sharp on me. Anyone tried new Clinique's edp Simple and what it is like? I've heard it is oriental...I wish something better than Happy.

I think Happy smells wonderful, but when I wear it, colleagues think the exterminator has visited.

I'm so glad I finally tried Happy. I love the citrus notes in the top. It really does lift my spirits when I wear it!

I loved this so much when I first got it...couldn't wear enough of it, it seemed. Now I still like it but it seems kind of tired? Maybe because of the others that copied it. I don't know. It still smells good-just not exciting to me anymore.

I go to High School up in Canada and I must say that you can't walk by a girls locker without seeing a bottle or smelling Clinique Happy and Ralph. I own Ralph and I have Happy lotion and some samples. They are the perfect fragrance for any girl young at heart or just a happy person!

My mom & i went to this store in Canada and there was a special on all clinique products where you get a free make up kit with your purchase. She bought a few and got two make up kits which contained happy in them. Since then,she hardly used them so,unbeknownst to her,I took one for myself. I hope this scent is here to stay,because it makes me so happy.

The citrus smell fades quickly which I find a good thing but the lasting smell is kind of flat and boring. It is ok, but just not great. Maybe on others.

This is the most uplifting scent you can buy! It really makes you feel HAPPY! Buy it!!

I LIKE THIS PERFUME! MY HUSBAND DOES TOO! IT IS NOT OVER POWERING.

this one is very good.Smells so clean and fresh and when you wear it you feel happy(or happier)

Happy is my favorite summer fragrance! It has clean, fresh, energizing scent that makes me feel "happy" as soon as I put it on. Plus my husband is allergic to most floral scents, but this one doesn't bother him at all. I would call it more fruity and citrusy than floral. It is never overpowering, which makes it especially nice for the warmer months.

NOT BAD. BODY LOTION IS BETTER

I have smelled HAPPY on several women and have loved it. Was I disappointed when it smelled sharp and kind of rancid on me. :-( It is a delightful scent on the right person, but a disappointment to me.

this one is fruity, but the worst is Aromatics Elixer. Its heavy, and always makes me sneeze. It has pathouli and chamomile in it gross!!

Happy smells cheap and too strong. More for very young teenagers, if at all.

This scent is much like every other citrusy soapy smelling scent. Nothing extraordinary about this scent. Don't waste you r$$

Happy doesn't make me happy. It smells too vibrant and is not comforting or refreshing to wear. Don't like smelling it on others either.

It's my favorite scent. Both my husband and I love it. My husband doesn't wear it but likes to keep the bottle and smell it.

I would love to give my daughter Happy products for her birthday, she just loves it! Unfortunately, I lost my job due to down-sizing. If you have some Happy products and aren't going to use them, send to me, I'll pay postage. E-mail [email protected], Happy in subject line, please. Thanks so much!

After hearing about Happy I decided to try it. It doesn't smell that great to me. It's so-so at best, nothing special.

I've worn Happy for years and have loved it. One of my son's uses Happy for men, and my daughter uses Happy for women. I am looking forward to my first bottle of Happy Heart!

I hadn't rated Happy when I posted before, so I'm back to give it its highest rating. Since I'm here, I'd like to say that this is among my all-time favorites. It's just a simple, beautiful, clean, sweetly feminine and innocent fragrance, as succulent as a fresh, peeled orange. It's youthful and active, but unmistakably feminine--just fruity enough, too. I only wish my husband loved it as much as I do. In fact, had I known he didn't think it was so hot, I wouldn't have chosen it as my wedding perfume. Well, no biggie; it's not that he disliked it, either. I get lots of compliments about Happy from people (both male and female), but my husband prefers other perfumes. I still wear Happy for myself anyway, and he doesn't ever mind.

I have been wearing for almost two weeks now and I love it! I will be buying it again. I also purchased the body talc free powder from Macys and it is so soft and fragrant. I may have found my fragrance, finally. I highly reccomend Happy.

My husband gave me the gift set for Easter. I was a bit dissapointed since I would not have chosen this for myself. Surprisingly, I recieved many compliments at our Easter family dinner.

happy is a perfect perfume , its fresh and really makes one happy ,it has a great lastingpower and now its springtime and this perfume is the best choise for it

hi, i think happy is a wonderful perfume ,its clean and fresh and makes your day perfect!!!!!!!!!!

is too much too fruity and sweet headache around the corner ......

I get so many compliments when I wear this perfume. Especially from men!

Another Boring fragarance from a mediocre cosmetic line.

I've never heared anyone said this perfume to be bad . Instead it's a bit too famous and common but the best fragrance for office in that most of the people seem to like it**

WONDERFUL "HAPPY" SMELL

Yet another plain jane citrus fragrance. Nothing remarkable. Definitely not worth paying the price. Doesn't last long, starts to smell very sharp and chemically on me. Possibly some people can wear it well, but even when I smell it on other people I feel sick. Very much a young teen scent.

This is too strong and flowery.

disgustingly sweet!!!!! Repulsive!!!

I think I know a lot about perfumes, since I have so many them. And this one is the best one for girls. Sometimes I feel this smell in the subway and I go crazy. Believe me, if you are a girl, men will love this one. Some girls might hate this scent, but I am sure most men love it!

To me it smells a like pleasures.

I've been using Happy Heart. I'm not big on the original Happy, but this one is actually kind of nice. Not as citrusy/stronger floral notes/not as sweet as the other. Good to jumpstart the day without overpowering others. Doesn't last long on the skin, though, so I have to spray some on my clothes, too.

I like Happy, although it's not my altime favorite. For those who think Happy is too citrus-smelling, I suggest you try the new Happy Heart, it has less of a citrus smell.

That's me in a nutshell when it comes to fragrances. I can never find one that is "just right." I was shopping a couple of years ago with my sister when she bought Happy and I liked it quite well, but didn't buy any at the time. I did most of my Christmas shopping online this past year and decided to indulge myself. I am so glad I did! I love it and it's going fast! I've never been so enamored with a fragrance before! And my daughter, bless her heart, bought me body wash & lotion to go with it!! And now I am one sweet-smellin' chick!! It's great!!

I see many negative comments from the women but all of my friends and I absolutely love this smell. Whenever I meet a girl who is wearing this, I want to take her home.

i have to tell you that i really enjoy the smell of clinique happy. it has never not one time gave me a headache. me and about 2 other of my coworkers wear it and we think it is great! its not too heavy, just right. gets a lot of compliments!!!

I have never gotten more compliments with any perfume like I have while wearing Happy. From men and women both! I even feel sexy while wearing Happy. The scent lasts forever! I'm on my third 3.4oz bottle. It's definitely a keeper in my collection!

I would like to cry every time I smell this perfume--if that's what you call it. It should be called "HI--I smell like complete crap--please spend your money so you can smell like crap too" (I should get into the perfume-naming industry--don't you think?!) Spare us all, and please, don't be Happy!

I've been testing several fragrances lately, and I have to say that I think Clinique Happy is the best by far. On me, it smells like tangerines. Lovely! My boyfriend HATES any perfume (or so he says) and will even comment on how someone stinks if he can smell their perfume. However, I've been wearing Happy everyday for the last couple weeks, and I haven't heard a single complaint...

FIRST OFF, THIS IS THE BEST WOMAN PERFUME EVER, I'VE DATED ALOT OF WOMAN IN MY LIFE BUT NOT ALOT HAVE SMELT THIS GOOD. I WAS AT A LOCAL DILLIARDS LOOKING FOR A PERFUME FOR MY SISTER, THEN A LADY WHO WORKED IN THAT DEPARTMENT SAID "MAY I HELP YOU." I SMELT THE SWEET FLORAL SCENT FROM HER BODY AND FELL IN LOVE, IT TURNED OUT MY SISTER LOVED IT, MOM LOVED IT, EVEN OLD GRANDMA LOVED IT, AND NOW I AM DATING THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS WONDERFUL PERFUME

Too much citrus...wish it had more flowers

What happened to Wrappings? I kinda liked it. Anyone got any ideas?

I like the smell of it on other people, but on me it smells like rubber!

really cool and love it

I have been wearing this fragrance for the past 4 years...and I still love it more and more!!! I get sick of EVERY scent...not this one!! I love it!!!

This perfume smells so great. It is hard for me to find that right kind of perfume that i really love to wear, and this one is perfect. From the minute I smelled it and tried it on I was hooked. Highly Recommended!!!!

I guess I do not understand the negative comments. Happy is a far superior perfume than many others I've encountered. I also recommended their Elixer.

I really like it!

Happy, yes it makes me happy when I smell it, but too inoccent

Obviously this works wonders with some women's body chemistry. I think this smells like slightly sour grapefruit on me. Not happy ;)

I totally agree with the whole body chemistry thing!! I was working the other day and a woman was wearing Happy and I asked her what it was and she told me and I ran out and bought and I absolutely love it. It makes you calm and in a happy kinda mood!!!

Ok....this is my FAVORITE. I get compliments on it all the time from men and women. I must say - it smells different on everyone. A girl at work bought it and it smelled compeletley different on her than it does on me. It smelled good but smelled better on me. I guess that's called your bodies chemistry.

Not at all sexy and seductive. But to me it does smell lively and very well...HAPPY! I have to agree with Courtney, men seem to LOVE this scent. Unfortunately, I no longer wear it because my boyfriend's best friend (a girl) wears it :p

I love this perfume, I have the body lotion,shower gel and soap but I can't seem to fine deoderant out there. Anyone have any ideas!!!!

Today I smelled a really nice fragrance on a colleague. When I asked her what it was, she smiled and said, "Happy!" She went on to say that she has received many, many compliments on this fragrance. It really smelled great on her - fresh, attractive and warm, all at the same time! Happy is an unique smell and I'm going to wear it!

Happy is too expensive!!! But it really makes me happy when i smell it. It is wonderful!!

What I like about Happy the most is that it doesn't linger. After a while you don't even know you have it on, though others can smell the scent. I don't know any other perfume or cologne that does this. I love it!

I love Happy! It's one of my favourite perfumes. I have so many perfumes but I like Happy best! It never fails to lift up my spirits and it also makes me feel very feminine and alluring. My advice to those who get a headache after use is this: Do not put too much and don't spray it too close to you. If you spray it too close to the skin, the alcohol is strong and it stays and overpowers the intended nice scent. What I usually do is spray about half a metre from myself, then 'walk' into it. Happy is strong enough and it lasts quite well so that sort of spritz is good enough. I like Happy because it is not too sweet and floral, it's really just nice, a nice combination of floral, green and citrus smell. It's both fresh and warm and the woman who wears it smells inviting and warm.

Hi When i went grocery shopping, i notice the lady wore a pretty scent fragrance so i asked her, what she wearing it she said its Happy Clinique . so i say ohh so i went to the Mall to get some of sample to try on me and it giving me headaches and dizzy.. it depened on the chemstry body.. and my one friend said should put in behind ears to rub it and wrist little bit not to much.. so it stay last long but i try do again it still giving me headaches and dizzy. oh man i like smell but i couldnt wear it and it smell nothing on me alike strong sour orange something .. but some of women wear it different chemstry body system. oh well that life..

I have a big bottle of it and have been wearing it off and on for 3 years now. Loved it from the first time I smelled it and everyone says how great I smell when I wear it. It is just a great combination of smells that make up the perfume. I wear it more than any other of my perfumes and when I don't wear it I miss it. It is the perfect combination of sweet but not too sweet and just green enough for me. Perfect. I want the body smoothing lotion for my birthday.

EVERYONE is wearing this, it's like the nightmare of Michael Kors where everyone has lost their olefactory nerves. Sour and gets in your sinuses. Smells like OFF. Yuck!

when i went to food shopping and i reconized the smell the lady wear it and i ask the lady what she wearing she said its "Happy" from clinqiue so i say ohh smell so pretty floral so i went to the cliniquie to get a sample and i try on myself it make me headaches and dizzy so someone told me should to put behind the ears really little bit but it still not work on me chemsitry on my body. i dont know why i love smell it but it smell alike sour ,dull dry something depend on the chemsitry body.. so far i love smell but i cant wear it so far.. i only wear little bit but still bother me.. oh boy.. not for me wear it.. it giving me headeaches and dizzy .. dont buy it at all dont waste your money.. thanks take care :o)

Smelled like a highly toxic insect repellant on me. I guess you could say it bugged me.

I'm not particularly wild over Happy but since I use Clinique products I always get samples of it (incidentally, to digress, Clinique makeup samples are the only ones I ever actually use. I think their palette of natural rosy browns are very wearable, and good quality products for a good price). Happy smells fresh and clean (very citrusy) but it's nothing spectacular, yet people love this scent on me. Go figure.

It's ok. After initially liking this one alot and buying it, I find the citrus scent to be too "common"

Refreshing, sweet, sharp, citrus--odd combination, but guys like it somehow.

Happy isn't my favorite fragrance (I find it too citrusy) by any means. I have tons of little samples from all the Clinique makeup I buy though. I can't figure it out, but guys LOVE THIS PERFUME. I get complimented all the time when I wear it. So needless to say, I sometimes wear it even if I don't like it that much.

Gives me a terrible headache and everyone seems to be wearing it!

I use to love this fragrance... but lately its been giving me a headache. But i have to admit, it does smell very fun, refreshing and... "happy"!

Whenever I smell this fragrance on people, it gives me an agonizing HEADACHE! There's something in this scent that just makes me ILL!!!

I think it smells really good. I don't wear it all the time, but I love the way it smells when I do wear it. Very nice.

I usually really like or really hate a perfume, this one is different though. I just think that it is ok. My friend loves it because she wore it around this one guy who recognized it and now she won't stop doousing herself in it. It is not like it is a bad perfume just not a great one.

I love this perfume and when I wear it my mood is always a good one and I am ....HAPPY all the time!That's why people call me Ms. Happy!

I use the shower gel, cream and cologne. I love all of it. It smells fresh and clean without being too strong. I have people stop me often to tell me I smell good and want to know what I am wearing. I have worn it so long, that I no longer smell it after putting it on and am pleased when someone comments on it.

i hear it is very popular...but when i tried it,it made me cough and wheeze.

This scent does make me happy. It smells so fresh - just right! People say 'Oh I LOVE Happy!' when I tell them what it is!

hate those citrusy scents,like this one by clinique.

this scent will make you feel clean and fresh, its good wearing it in the summer too

I guess it's just chemistry that Happy doesn't smell good on some people cuz' it smells SO good on me! I absolutly LOVE HAPPY! THANK YOU CLINIQUE FOR MAKING IT!

Aromatics

well, I use it as air-freshener....it changes completely on my skin, goes rancid

When I first bought this perfume I loved it, my boyfriend too. But after a month or so, the citrus smell was too much for me and him too. It's so sharp that you get tired of it very easily I think and you have to be on a very special mood to use it.

I like it a lot!

Happy isn't a bad scent. I buy lots of Clinique makeup and heaven knows I have about fifty free samples floating around my bedroom. But the problem with it is that it's all top notes, and they don't last. The bottom notes are either weak or nonexistent. It isn't a lasting fragrance. Also, it's personality is weak--when I smell it, I can't differentiate it from other sweet fragrances that are out there. In addition, a lot of people wear this one...I avoid it on principle because of that. I don't want to smell like every other woman out there--I want a distinctive fragrance.

Happy makes me feel confident and young.

I smelled it from one of my staff. I asked my sister to buy one for me. Everytime, I use it I feel very confident and I just love it. My husband for the first time asked me what I used.

I actually loved this scent on my friend and she let me borrow the lotion and it just didn't work with my body chemistry. This is a very citrusy, sharp fragrance.

Clinique happy smells so good and refreshing.

This happens to be one of my favorite frangrances. It lasts a long time and everyone I run into compliments its scent.

mail yours to me.my e-mail is [email protected]

I bought this from the mall and was 100% HAPPY with my purchase. I absolutely love this new scent. And I am thinking about buying more of the fabulous fragrance being that I wear it all the time. I can't live without it!!! Cinique Happy I love you!!!

I started wearing perfume when I was 19. Happy was my very first scent. I bought it at the end of August and wore it when school started. This citrus scent was a nice introduction to the perfume world. Five years have passed by and I've worn 8 different bottles of perfumes, but I will always remember Happy.

Now I know that we all have different tastes but sour and cheap! Come On...!!It must be the chemistry thing! Because I get sooo many compliments on HAPPY that it makes me very HAPPY!

To anyone who purchased Happy and don't fall in love with it like my husband and I did--Mail your bottles to me! LOVE IT!!

Happy to me is light and effervescent, a cornucopia of citrus fruits (ruby red grapefruit, mandarin) and flowers. There is no heavy base. I think of summer and island-hopping, but I think it could be worn year-round for all occasions, especially if you like fresh scents (but this is sweeter than most "fresh scents"-it's not an eau). Happy was my wedding day perfume (1999) so it's easy for me to be biased about it being perfect for the occasion!

A lot of men love Happy; they're always asking me what I'm wearing if I have this on. But my man's not crazy about it and neither am I, even though it's a very pretty scent. It's very clean and fruity, not overwhelming but simple. I'd rather get Spring Flower for my birthday. I give Happy 4 out of 5 because it's better than most fruity perfumes out there that are way too sweet.

A lot of people I know wore this on their wedding day. I think it's perfect for a bride. It's fresh, sweet, clean and feminine, lots of citrusy fruits for kick and sweet florals for femininity. I'll wear it on my anniversary I think!!!

I love this! When I wear happy people always comment on how great it smells. I always try to have a bottle on hand. It's great for daytime wear.

got it as a christmas gift and love it

I just love this scent, people are always commenting on the fragrance I wear. To the people who don't like it, there is body chemistry at work and not all fragrances smell good on some people, but this one for me is a keeper!!

This may be a good scent if you like fruity things and very fresh scents. They are not my all time favourites, though. It's funny: when I got a sample of this scent, I thought it was lovely. I ran to perfume shop and bought it. But I could not stand it after some time.

The name says it all. It's a bright, sunny, HAPPY fragrance that goes with anything. Everyone loves the scent and I get many compliments. (And THAT makes me HAPPY!) I can't say enough about it...I love it!

INCREDIBLE FRAGRANCE!!! SO MANY PEOPLE TELL ME I ALWAYS SMELL SO GOOD. MMMMMMMM THEY SAY. WELL, THAT SHOULD SAY IT ALL. I WANT MORE!!!!

INCREDIBLE FRAGRANCE!!! SO MANY PEOPLE TELL ME I ALWAYS SMELL SO GOOD. MMMMMMMM THEY SAY. WELL, THAT SHOULD SAY IT ALL. I WANT MORE!!!!

...my comment:happy smell,nice one for daily using...

Wow, just tried it last night. I'm in love with Happy. P.S. Boyfriend loved it also. That surprised me because of its fruity scent.

Smells artificial and sour..don't waste your money on this cheap fragrance

Over the last six months, I've asked two ladies, what perfume they're wearing, I like it so. Both of them answered "Happy!" My wife is going to get it for Christmas!

I can't believe the people who created Aromatics created this beautiful scent! Fresh clean uplifting now this captures the spirt of Clinique NOT that Aromatic Elixir love to see that one be gone! jil

I think of Disney World when I smell this. I wore it back in 1997 when it first came out.I took it along with me on vacation, so when I wear it now the first thing I think about is vacation. Funny how fragrance can bring back memories!!

I really like this scent, but have found it to be too heavy and strong on certain people. Don't overdo it with this one. Just a dab behind the ears or on the wrists is all you need. Too much will cause the headache many have complained about. Oh, and the smoothers are just too strong, also. I have no luck trying to use that. Just stick with the perfume, in my opinion.

Not a good fragrance. I do not recommend wasting your money on a not so good fragrance.

This stuff gives me a headache…am I the only one???

I love this perfume so much because its smell likes an orange.

Forget Happy. It doesn't smell good, anyway. Call him! If he's game, wear something pretty and feminine (a skirt and heels never fail!) and pair it with an even prettier scent you like. Very little make-up and jewelry. Be very polite and lady like. Cross your legs and toss your hair a lot (they love it!). Shed any self-consciousness and don't be afraid to have fun and laugh at yourself. If he doesn't go ga-ga for you, then he's hopeless. In this case, try Annick Goutal's Ce Soir ou Jamais and try to figure out at least 11 of the 60 scents she's used in that what beautifully wacky liquid. Good luck!

My husband is so picky about scents, and I was forever trying on new ones but he didn't really like any of them. The night I tried Happy, he noticed immediately and raved about it. Needless to say, I always have a bottle on hand =). One of my favorites. Love the fresh flowery citrus smell. I think its pretty unique. Much better than heavy "old woman" perfumes.

I finally found My Favorite Perfume

just wonderful .. fresh, clean -- perfect for spring/summer. as another said, the dilemma is what to wear for winter!

It is a perfect scent for springtime. Reminds me some great fragrances of the past... Fifties.

It is too citrusy and too green. There are a billion similar scents today, and they are all the same. Don't like it.

i loved it. great scent

Fresh, Crisp, Clean!!! One of my "all time favorites"

I love it! It lifts my spirits! But....what am I going to wear in the wintertime? What a dilemma!

Real beauty ... fresh, nice, light .. like a dream !!!

Happy is a great scent-fresh &

I walked in my Husbands office today to pick something up. When he came home he said the guys that he works with loved the way I smelled. Made me "Happy"

stopped me in my tracks at the office, some can wear it well.

I don't like this one much. It smells okay, but it's not distinctive enough. It smells too much like some other "new" fragrances out there.

Everyone else seems to wear this scent and it smells so nice on them..smells awful on me

This is a great fragrance to lift your mood. And, yes, it does make you "Happy". Great scent. Highly recommended for the summer months.

yes, one of your authors was right. This product should be a little cheaper. I love it and I can't buy it, it is breaking my heart.

citrusy, i smell it on everyone. not so great.

ENJOY!!!!! THIS IS A GIFT FOR ALL WOMEN. TREAT YOURSELF AND INDULGE YOURSELF YOU DESERVE IT.

In my line of work, smelling good is crucial ;) I have hundreds of different fragrances and have received the most compliments on this one. Drives the guys wild!!

I just love this scent. For a perfume the price is really reasonable. The scent itself is warm and citrusy. It has a hint of orange blossom and floral. A great scent to go into spring and summer with. Try it and you'll love it.

I love the smell but it needs to be cheaper because it is two expensive for people to buy

I was flying around europe and had the chance to look through a large collection of fragrances in Vienna. Happy is definitely one of my favorite! (Kenzo, Paco and Boss No.6 are my other favorite fragrances). It is a sweet, soft perfume that would warm your lady's heart making you purely irresistable!
