What do reviewers say about Clinique Happy and Smiley?
Happy earns its name. Not by being safe or simple, by being the kind of bright that doesn't apologize for itself. The grapefruit opening hits sharp, the florals settle warm.Clinique Happy
Smells like theobromine. Sweetness with backbone, cacao with intent. Some find it almost too cheerful.Smiley
