    Real talk

    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
    The blueberry isn't hiding. In most fruity-florals it's background, but here it takes the stage, bold, present, unapologetic. That kind of commitment either grabs you immediately or doesn't.Nica
