What do reviewers say about Clinique Happy and Panache?
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
A vetiver fragrance that refuses to be precious about it. The rum and honey give it something to say beyond the usual green-and-earthy speech. There's an easy confidence here.Panache
