What do reviewers say about Lily Essence and Clinique Happy?
A powdery white floral with genuine structure. The fruit opening is warm, the floral heart is lush, the drydown is comforting without being heavy. Some find the powder too much.Lily Essence
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
