What does Happy Heart smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it is picked mainly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and doesn't overwhelm. Most see it as feminine, with some calling it modern.

Mandarin orange, cucumber and cassia lead, giving an aquatic, green freshness. Carrot and water hyacinth soften the floral heart, and sandalwood and blond woods leave a light, woody, powdery base. Sweet and fruity tones stay in the background. Clinique Happy Heart 2012 and Dior Milly-la-Forêt have a close profile.
