Happy for Men (1999)
by Clinique

I really like the opening, which smells like freshly squeezed oranges. It's quite nice.

However I didn't like the dry-down. The fresh orange becomes subdued and the fragrance takes on more of a musky scent. It still smells decent at this point, but not nearly as good as the opening.

The base reminds me of Versace Man Eau Fraîche, except Versace has a strong starfruit note and is more "perfumey," whereas Happy is more musky.

I prefer Versace Man Eau Fraîche to this.

This is is 1 of those scents to hope all the best for only to get it & be dissapointed. While this is a nice citurs frag for the summer. It lacks silage & longevtiy! Thats the biggest down fall of HAPPY! & when there is poor silage & longevity there is really nothing to be happy about.

Excellent concept, nice name, excellent package, good colors.
Well, now the fragance....Happy is not a bad cologne, but a little bit generic and boring.
Clean, but without style.
Longevity is not the best and sillage is very bad.
Maybe a good option for people who feels depressed. Nothing more.

Fresh, light, amazing green orange citrus scent well made for summer. Simple and clean. Great!

I swear I get the green middle right at the opening with the orange which slowly fades into a one trick orange pony. It's a damn good trick, but I just don't get much else out of this one. Yes, you'll probably enjoy it. Yes, the people around you will probably enjoy it. Yes, I enjoy it immensely. There just isn't much here though.

Still, that one trick is so good that if it weren't for it's awful longevity, it would've gotten a thumbs up from me. I suppose you could around a little decant of it if you really like it...

I find both the male and female versions to be extremely synthetic, with the latter twice as much so. But weirdly, it seems to work well, as find both very appealing. Happy for men does not smell natural at all(the female version smells of cosmetics, how ironic with clinique iconised by its cosmetic accolades), tho it is obvious that the scent is pivoted on fruit notes. It is definitely a breath of fresh air from a very vast generic pool of freshies. It somehow escapes from smelling tacky, which alot of citrus-gone-plastic scents are guilty of. I find myself weirdly attracted to HFM, and i liken this to artificial sweeterner - when too much becomes bitter. Quite the attention grabber, this "bitter-sweet symphony". the poly-smelling juice and its bright in your face bottle gets a rare thumbs up for its effort to steer away from smelling safe.
