SyntheticWhat does Happy (Perfume) smell like?
The opening is bright and slightly green, built on bergamot, grapefruit, laurel and mandarin. In the heart, jasmine, orchid and boysenberry blossom push it towards a floral, lightly fruity character. The base leans on lily, magnolia and mimosa, so the whole stays fresh and sweet, with a somewhat synthetic edge.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. Half of the voters read it as feminine. DKNY Be Delicious and Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl have a close profile.
