Clinique Happy vs Aromatics Elixir

As mentioned before if you are unfamiliar with Clinique perfumes then these two fragrances are a great example of how wide the range can be.

Clinique Happy Eau de Parfum is the fresher of the two. Citrus notes of grapefruit and bergamot are mixed with floral notes including mimosa to create this fresh floral scent.

Whereas Aromatics Elixir Eau de Parfum is very different. It is a chypre floral with many different floral, woody, mossy and earthy notes. When comparing the two you would hardly think they were made by the same company.

Which can help when selecting a Clinique fragrance. If you think Happy is too light for you then don't write off Clinique perfumes. Aromatics Elixir is on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Clinique Happy Has Been Going Strong Since the 1990s

Happy is not a modern day take on a 1990s fragrance. It was released back in 1997 and has been going strong ever since.

The citrus and floral notes are what make up most of the fragrance. Notes include ruby red grapefruit, bergamot, mimosa and Hawaiian wedding flower. There are also other fragrances that fall under the Happy name.

Happy Heart is another variation on the florals. And there is Happy for Men which includes lime, mandarin, sea breeze accord, cedarwood and cypress.

So if you are looking to replace a Clinique Happy fragrance make sure you know which one it is. There is Happy Eau de Parfum, Happy Heart and Happy for Men.

Aromatics Elixir Isn't a Lighter Version of Happy

We wanted to include Aromatics Elixir as well because if all you know about Clinique perfume is Happy you may think that all their fragrances are similar. This is a much fuller fragrance.

Instead of focusing on citrus it takes you through floral notes to become more woody and mossy. It's one of those fragrances that changes as you wear it.

It's also been around for quite some time. If you are after a fragrance that has more to it then look no further than Aromatics Elixir.

How About Clinique Happy for Men?

Similar to the women's fragrance Happy for Men also features citrus notes. Lime and mandarin are the first notes you will notice. Sea breeze accord and green notes follow before cedarwood and cypress finish the fragrance off.

Giving it a fresh citrus and aromatic scent. It's not your typical women's fragrance with "for Men" slapped on the front.

If you enjoy fresh fragrances this is a great place to start.

Don't Forget There Are Other Clinique Fragrances

As you can see Happy is a popular Clinique fragrance. But there are many more to choose from. As well as Aromatics Elixir there are fragrances like Aromatics in Black, Aromatics in White and Calyx.

And the list goes on with the My Happy range. Which contains many different fragrances. Some are floral and fresh others contain notes such as cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, chestnut and musk.

So make sure you read up on each fragrance before you buy.
