About This Perfume
Think Bright citrus fruit with creamy orange blossom: that is Clinique Happy in Paradise. It opens with bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange, moves into orange blossom, passion flower and ylang-ylang and settles on cedarwood, cocoa shell and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 2024.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $32.

The Brand
Clinique
Scendira carries 16 fragrances from Clinique, from about $20 to $112. People who discuss fragrance online talk most about Happy, Aromatics Elixir and Calyx, three perfumes that span 1971 to 2013 and lean fresh, herbal and citrus.
How the Clinique picks open and dry down
Clinique Happy (EDP, 1998) is bright citrus soda with soft white florals; orange, blood grapefruit, Indian mandarin and bergamot open, and mimosa, lily, magnolia, musk and amber follow.
Aromatics Elixir (EDT, 1971) reads as a fresh herbal bouquet with mossy sandalwood and incense, built on chamomile, aldehydes and clary sage over oakmoss, patchouli, incense and vetiver.
Fresh grapefruit and green leaves with florals is the idea of Calyx (EDP, 2013), which dries down to oakmoss, iris and sandalwood.
Clinique launched in New York in 1968. Compare this house with others on the brands page.
