Yeli parfum
Oh, it didn’t hook me… to me, it smells like overripe oranges, so it was a no-go for my nose. I ended up using it as a room spray instead.

The tangerine stands out at first, very fresh and natural, no dish soap scent, it smells realistic. However, it doesn’t last long and projects less. Generally, citrus fades quickly, but this one disappears way too fast. I bought it thinking it was an affordable option to the Guerlain Mandarin Basilic, but no, better to save up for something higher quality.

AnnZest
100% citrus but softer than Light Blue. Ideal for hot days starting early. I liked it more once it settled on the skin; it lifts the mood. Smells like grapefruit and tangerine. The downside is it doesn’t last long 🥲

Price-to-performance ratio: Perfume bomb! Good, pretty, and cheap. Smells clean and cheerful, herbal and citrusy. Exquisite, very day-appropriate, happy in the office or at uni. Excellent. Yes, it lasts a ton and you can even smell it on clothes. Perfume bomb! To keep as a staple, for every day, for men and women. You can buy it blind totally. No one can not like it, clearly.

I love this fragrance; it wakes me up and puts me in a happy mood. The opening is very citrusy, but I sense some spicy notes I can’t quite define, reminding me of pepper, though it’s not listed in the olfactory pyramid. Unfortunately, although the opening is explosive, it doesn’t stay on the skin for long; in fact, the last time I bought it directly at Clinique, I noticed the quality was very poor. The men’s version is wonderful too and does have better longevity despite being an EDT.

Sorry, but this scent is exactly what I do NOT look for in a perfume. It smells like soap; someone mentioned Avon’s Clearskin and that teenage memory came back, yes, maybe it smells like that. Synthetic, plastic, astringent. Is it my skin? But it smells like ‘deep cleaning,’ like a mix of chemicals to scrub off really stuck-on grime 🙁
-
Dani Mckill
I just want to know if it’s true that it smells exactly like the discontinued Hippie Chic by Avon??
-
THILIEN
I’ve tried it several times because I adore citrus, but no. The opening is great; even the first hour I wear it, I like it, but the dry-down is horrible on my skin. It smells sour to me, and even hours later, when I try to find the remnants on my skin, it gives off a weird smell, like plastic. It definitely doesn’t have good chemistry with my skin. I’ll gift it to a friend who likes it.

I love the citrus notes in this fragrance, the orange, the lemon, the tangerine, everything is delicious, but combined with the mimosa it’s a bomb, I really liked it a lot, I’m amazed, I would buy it again.
-
Naeli
When I first bought it, I loved it; now that it’s been open for a year, it has macerated and is very heavy, not a light fresh floral. The mimosa mixed with magnolia plus the amber give it a honey, caramel touch, very heavy, like a Nivea-style cream, it feels synthetic. It’s one of the few cases where macerating the perfume gives it a body I don’t like. If you like fresh citrus, I don’t recommend it at all.
-
Tulipan_negro
Happy is from a well-known, affordable brand, but don’t buy it blindly. It’s citrusy, yes, but with an intense bitterness: grapefruit and prune compote, smelling like tobacco. The opening is harsh, almost rancid, featuring a ripe orange that seems overripe—no lemon sorbet or fresh tangerine here. If you don’t like it, it will surprise you. But once the opening settles, if it matches your skin, it’s magic. I’ve owned thousands of Clinique bottles; I always buy and let them macerate. I absolutely love it, even though I know it’s not for everyone.

nataliedrm
At first, you get mandarin and orange citrus notes, but after half an hour, everything fades away.
-
Limalove
I didn’t like it at all. It doesn’t smell like perfume.
-
Strega
I bought it blindly and it was a mistake. It doesn’t smell sweet or fresh. I prefer the men’s version, which is more harmonious and fresh. I was looking for citrus, but here the orange smells like very ripe fruit, almost going bad—a dry scent I hate.
-
LorenS
Buying based on reviews: bad. You have to try perfumes on yourself. It reminds me of O by Lancôme’s L’Orangerie, which I used years ago. I don’t dislike it, but it doesn’t make me fall in love. It’s a summer floral, not fresh.
-
AndyLaRosa
I hated it. Terrible. I gave it away.
-
BlendParfum
Honestly, it felt too synthetic or scentless. I had high expectations from the reviews and ended up disappointed.

With this perfume, I started loving woody scents, even though it doesn’t have wood notes. Maybe it’s the blend of notes that initially smells creamy and dry, like wood, similar to Natura’s vibe. I think it performs better than Carolina Herrera’s 212; I tried it recently and it lasted all day. The downside is that I think it’s too expensive for what it projects. I know Clinique products are good, but this is excessive. Still, if I had the money, I’d pay happily. It accompanied me through my best youthful years and night outs, thanks to its beautiful roll-on presentation with a gloss on the other side. Despite being a clean scent, it has great performance for a night date.
-
aliorrala18
I loved it. I adore citrus and white florals, so it was a safe purchase. On my skin, it lasts moderately, but nothing a reapplication can’t fix.
-
Abgvanessafernandez
I owned it and enjoyed it immensely. I’m not a fan of citrus, but there was something about this that I liked. Even without coffee notes, the base notes reminded me of coffee or wood. I really liked it. I would definitely use it again.
-
Lenoir
I’ve been collecting perfumes for years, and since it’s a classic citrus, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I bought it on sale two weeks ago and regretted not using it sooner; I loved it. It’s a shame it doesn’t last more than three hours, but for the price, I have no complaints.
-
Bonzi
I absolutely love it. I’ve been wearing it for years, and even though I try new things, I always come back to Happy. It’s my signature scent: soft, sparkling, and delicate. I only compare it to Miss Dior Chérie, which I also used, but unfortunately, they no longer make it.
-
ParfumAddict
It smells like sunscreen. There’s a specific brand with that aroma, but in the end, it’s nice. The orange note is like overripe fruit, but it’s fresh and very vintage. It’s okay, although I didn’t love it; it’s a ‘meh’ 😏.
-
Drdevaud
Fresh and versatile. Back in my teens, I used Avon’s Clearskin soap, and this smells identical. It smells clean and youthful, haha.
-
Jardinera
Smells like soap and cleanliness. On my skin, it leaves that post-shower scent with old bar soap (if you’re from Chile, it’s Le Sancy). I hate light blue citrus scents, so I was surprised by the dry-down after seeing the notes. It’s a clean citrus floral. I found it at a good price in 50ml, perfect for hot climates.
-
Saarips
I tested it dry at the perfumery since I didn’t dare try it on my skin in case it smelled weird. It smells like pure Dalsy with orange caramel (which I hate) and has a lingering taste of expired perfume. It’s not for me.
-
Mr. Baskerville
It’s okay. I know that’s not an enthusiastic phrase, but that’s the feeling it gave me. I saw a bottle of Happy next to Aromatics Elixir, and out of curiosity, I sprayed the latter. I decided to try it. It took me a while to get a read on it because it seemed faint, maybe due to people around me spraying without a care. After reapplying, I detected the orange, but nuanced by more citrus that give it body and a ripe fruit sweetness. It does have a bit of bitterness, but it didn’t clash. The development moves to well-crafted florals, not spectacular; I couldn’t identify every note due to its tenacity. Over time, the cardboard didn’t show more nuances. Overall, it’s a correct fragrance, without major pretensions other than providing comfort in high temperatures. It’s pleasant for the environment, and there’s nothing more to say. In conclusion, it’s good.
-
Anagf
I tested it at the perfumery; I loved the opening, but not how the scent settles afterward. Now I understand the reference to very overripe oranges; it’s not my taste.
-
MariaGabrielazj
I’ve wanted this for a long time! I think it’s in the top 3 of classic citrus scents of all time. I bought it at a European duty-free at a great price, and when I tried it, I loved it. As soon as I landed in Chile, I rushed to a duty-free to compare prices, and besides being much more expensive, it smelled different. Different formulations? Different climate? Does anyone else experience this? Anyway, I’m happy with my purchase. A sweet, clean little orange that lasts a long time. I recommend it to all citrus lovers.

This perfume is the culprit of my perfume addiction. My mom gave it to me when I finished elementary school, and I loved it. It’s been hard to find it again. I want it back in my collection.

Happy is a classic I haven’t worn in years, but I finally decided to buy it because I remembered it. It smells like ripe, slightly bitter orange—a scent that leaves me feeling fresh and cheerful. People usually recommend it for summer, but I tried it in autumn and was surprised: now I detect sweeter, floral notes, that very sweetness some mention. If you think it’s too bitter and don’t like it, try it in autumn. In summer, it lasts about 5 to 6 hours, which is a lot for me, since the fresh, clean fragrances I enjoy most don’t last long on my skin.
-
WoodySk8
I bought it for my wife, but she didn’t like it. I offered it to my teenage daughter, and she wasn’t impressed either, so I decided to use it myself. At first, it smells like almost-rotten citrus, a bit rancid, but then a very pleasant fresh floral aroma emerges, that ‘clean’ scent so many love. The longevity is about 3 to 4 hours. I’ll keep using it until it runs out.
-
Irene1975
Clinique Happy is a complex citrus scent; it smells like when an orange or lemon has over-ripened. It also has a low-level deodorant smell and a spicy note that I no longer like; I used to enjoy it in my teens, but not anymore. It reminds me very much of Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger, Orange by Hugo Boss, Eternity by Calvin Klein, and Hugo Boss Women. My sense of smell has definitely changed… now I prefer citrus that smells like freshly squeezed, sweet juice, like Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana, Funny by Moschino, Color Drops by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, and I Love Love by Moschino.
-
Sabelly
I own this perfume and I like it, but it never won me over. I feel the mimosa is a bit heavy, and besides, it lasts only three hours on my skin; maybe it’s just the chemistry with my skin. I give it an 8. What a surprise with this perfume; it’s the only one I own that people ask me what I’m wearing.
-
Lila16
Happy is like a summer day. Its aroma evokes a sunny, fresh day, definitely outdoors, whether in the countryside, at the beach, or in the city. It lives up to its name because it smells like happiness, freshness, good moments, and good news. It makes me imagine a beautiful table with a large bouquet of freshly cut flowers in the center, and around it, many freshly cut citrus fruits, with oranges predominating. All those scents mixed together and scattered by the wind…
-
Karen Campos
My unforgettable Happy, my signature fragrance from my teenage years. I’ve lost count of how many bottles I’ve bought, and I’ll keep buying them because I have a unique affection for it. My closest friends say Karen smells like Happy. Love at first sniff: fresh opening, sweet from the fruits, where I predominantly smell orange and apple. The dry-down comes quickly, adding freshness from flowers to the fruity-citrus scent; the most prominent to my judgment are lily of the valley, magnolia, and lily. In the base, you can perceive all this combination of notes, a fresh, floral, citrus, and clean aroma. One of my favorites for spring-summer and hot days. Moderate trail, 7-8 hours longevity. One of the most beautiful fragrances I’ve ever experienced. I love it.
-
Nad1248
I really like this perfume, but whenever I wear it, people always say it smells like spoiled orange, and I feel the same way, like when you leave an orange out and it starts to rot. It has an orange-tangerine aroma and a strange bitterness, but it doesn’t bother me; it lifts my mood and makes me feel like I’m in the countryside, even though others don’t really like it.
-
Yomy
I like it so much.

Edmary
I’m obsessed. People would say today, June 25, 2022, that after years of looking for a dupe or something close to True Star by Tommy Hilfiger, I found it in this fragrance. I’m truly in love; my nose isn’t trained to understand the notes, I just know that the more I smell it, the more memories I have. Very Happy memories, just like its name.
-

If you want to go out for some touristy fun or spend a day in the countryside with friends, dressed in your jeans, sneakers, and a nice t-shirt, wear Happy. It smells like a little orange, but a sweet orange, like caramel or taffy. It’s soft, pleasant, and gives you vitality. It’s a perfume for these types of informal situations, for lonely days, perfect. It’s cheerful, just like its name; they couldn’t have defined it better in a single word.
Category:
Very fresh, and honestly, I do feel it’s unisex without being floral. I sometimes wear it to go to uni and sometimes for workouts. It seems to have good skin longevity but doesn’t project as much; I think it’s a very noble scent. I love it, and for the price (approx. $30), it seems like an EXCELLENT OPTION.
Delicious citrus scent featuring mandarin as the star, along with lemon, lime, and marine notes accompanied by florals. It’s very in the style of Acqua di Gio EDT, ideal for hot days. If you like it but feel it doesn’t last long, I recommend buying the Fraiche dupe; it’s a store with very good and affordable clones 🔥🆗🍊🍋🌷.
Very fresh perfume; I love the scent—various citrus notes, especially mandarin, very wearable and ideal for summer. The trail isn’t strong, but in my case, it stays discreetly for five hours. It doesn’t bother anyone; on the contrary, I’ve received good comments about the fragrance.
A truly exquisite fragrance—citrusy, clean-smelling, like bitter orange. Unfortunately, its longevity and projection are scarce, but you can reapply, especially since it can be found at a great price if you know where to look. It starts with clear citrus notes, a bitter mandarin, then gives way to floral notes that never make it feel feminine. All in all, a comfortable fragrance, ideal for someone whose job prevents them from wearing intense scents. It’s not an aroma to impress anyone; it’s just for extreme heat days or going to the beach. The atomizer is truly bad. Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 5/10 Projection: 4/10 Versatility: heat days only Price: can be found at a good price if you know where to look, never in retail or Clinique’s website.
The best fragrance for sports or very casual situations. It smells clean, citrusy, very pleasant, not intrusive, innocent, bright, and linear. Its longevity is just enough for your gym routine or something very casual, and honestly, I wish it lasted longer because it’s truly worth it. I recommend it if you’re looking for a casual daily signature scent at a good price (around $20 for 100ml).
A rich, well-citrusy perfume that becomes slightly sweet as it dries down. It’s a light, pleasant, relaxed, and totally informal scent that’s easy to like. The big issue is longevity; I think it projects for only half an hour, after which it’s just skin scent for another hour or two. That’s why I don’t think I’ll buy it again; it’s a shame because I really like the smell. I’d recommend buying it only if there’s a significant discount, as the price is high for what it offers, and it’s best for home use or short afternoon outings since it doesn’t last long enough for going out for hours.
Now it smells delicious—orange, fresh, and green. Wonderful for home. Ideal for the heat. Its longevity is mediocre, but it’s worth it for the price and the scent. If you spray 20 times and combine it with a leather jacket on a cool spring night, the combined scent is amazing.
They gifted it to me, and I thought it was very X, but it’s quite durable for daily wear in the heat. It’s awesome, and I’m surprised by the number of compliments I get for being so simple… P.S.: No perfume should be bought blind.
It might be one of my favorite summer fragrances—I’ve bought it several times—but I no longer purchase it because it possibly has the worst performance (at least on my skin). It disappears completely in under an hour and doesn’t project much. If you like Happy, try Nikos Sculpture; it doesn’t smell the same but evokes similar sensations. It’s easy to find and reasonably priced. The performance isn’t great, but in my opinion, it’s slightly better than Happy.
Definitely, the name suits it well. I love everything about the scent; it’s the perfect citrus and would almost be on my favorites list if not for its poor longevity. I wear it a lot, but after two hours, I feel like I’m not wearing anything at all, and my skin barely smells. I reserve it for home or family visits.
The scent is fresh and combines orange with lemon touches. A delight that everyone will like. But longevity on skin is terrible; after 3 hours, it’s barely noticeable. I’m not asking for 6 hours, but at least 4 decent ones. Still, since it costs between 30-35 euros for 100 ml, you can reapply without issues. I’d give it a 6.
The epitome of those ‘water’ perfumes, along with Nautica Voyage—there’s nothing else. On YouTube, there’s almost a genre of content dedicated to perfumes to lift skirts in the joke; Happy will never be in those rankings, which is a relief. Clean, discreet, and unpretentious.
I really liked it. Very sparkling citrus, feels fresh and green. Excellent for the heat. I think it’s very good for casual occasions or everyday wear.
I love it; it’s the perfect scent I’ve always been looking for. Citrusy with mandarin as the star, flowers that make it clean, almost soapy, and a base of green, fresh woods. It smells like sparkling freshness, like squeezing an orange or mandarin and drinking the juice straight up. The bad part is it lasts very little, and the trail is barely an hour. I wish it projected and lasted longer, but I understand it’s meant to keep you fresh with yourself. The scent is precisely that: HAPPY.
Fresh, classic, citrusy, and perhaps a bit metallic in the base. It’s great; it gives that clean touch you get right after a shower. The only downside is longevity; it doesn’t last more than 4-5 hours in hot weather.
Fresh and very pleasant. Ideal for hot days, after a shower, or for the gym. Good longevity and projection for a citrus, around 5-6 hours and 2 hours respectively. Recommended if you can find it at a good price. Rating: 7.5/10.
Clinique Happy is refreshing and takes you to a light, vibrant world. The scent is delicious, with a note that reminds me of sharpening a pencil—a crisp crunch that blends with citrus and marine notes. Mandarin and green lemon provide energy, backed by warm wood and aquatic notes perfect for summer. The balance is harmonious, cheerful, and full of life. The weakness is longevity; it fades quickly, which is a drawback if you’re looking for something long-lasting. Still, the freshness and well-being it brings make it recommended for daily wear. It’s light, cheerful, and perfect for warm climates. Even if longevity isn’t its best trait, the pleasant scent makes me recommend it 100% for anyone seeking something fresh and energetic.
It was a masterpiece back in 2000. It lasted all day and left a scent in the whole room. It was sweeter, mandarin-forward, with an effervescent touch. Now it lasts about two hours and smells like floor cleaner. They massacred it with reformulations. There’s a better one that came out later.
A pleasant outing. I don’t like the dry-down; it’s not strong but smells a bit like market vegetables. Short longevity. It’s widely used as a signature scent; the citrus side is excellent. I’d rate longevity 6/10, projection 9/10, and dry-down 6/10. I see people love it despite the short life and keep buying it.
My first perfume, a gift from my dad when I was about 9 or 11. Fresh, unpretentious, and super pleasant for my age—more than just a gem. Every time I try it, I get nostalgic and smile.
If you want a perfume just to put on after a bath and stay at home, this can work for you. If you’re looking for something more, look elsewhere, or you’ll feel ripped off.
This perfume was part of my childhood thanks to my mother, who used to apply it to me. Its name says it all; it’s a ‘happy’ fragrance. If it lasted longer, even just an hour or two, without a doubt I’d consider it my favorite and signature scent. In my review, don’t expect anything striking, anything that projects, or anything that reaches the person next to you; unfortunately, it doesn’t project. It’s a balanced orange between ‘effervescent’ and ‘creamy’; it’s fresh, it does its job, that’s all. For the current price (2025), I think you can find better options if you’re looking for better projection and longevity.
Daily use, for sure. It’s a rich fresh, smells like citrus soda, like pouring it over yourself. For heat, spring, and summer. The compliments come in; women love fresh scents. The bad is that it doesn’t last at all. You don’t pay much, but if it lasted a bit longer, it would be spectacular. A six, and you could have been an eight.
It’s fresh, rich, simple, and great. A very potent tangerine with little reach. I use it to go train; I spray it before leaving, and after an hour of sports and showering, there’s almost nothing left. It gives you 1 or 2 very pleasant, flat hours. Do you fancy smelling like tangerine for a while? Then of course you do, bring it on 🍊🍊.
I discovered it thanks to a friend who’s been using it for years and told me about its versatility. It’s a 90s classic, a vibrant aromatic citrus, accessible and full of energy. The opening is sparkling and revitalizing, with tangerine and lime giving a juicy freshness. The marine notes give it a clean, summery character, while the jasmine and rose in the base add a balanced floral touch. It’s the kind of fragrance that never fails: perfect for the gym, hot days, or when you want something fresh and carefree. On my skin, it’s a 10. It reminds me a lot of Nautica Voyage, another affordable and versatile option. Both are fresh, accessible, and perfect for any collection. If you’re looking for something cheerful and easy, Clinique Happy is an excellent choice. My final rating is 6.9/10.
A touch of freshness without big pretensions. I knew exactly what I wanted. My expectations weren’t high because everyone says the same thing: delicious, fresh, but with poor longevity. And that’s exactly how it was. From the start, it smells like revitalizing shower gel, with tangerine, mint, and aquatic notes creating immediate freshness. The opening is sparkling, like a cold bath on a hot day. As it dries down, the citrus loses intensity, leaving an aquatic essence with a subtle mint. It reminds me a lot of Armani Code Sport, but here the mint takes charge. It’s unisex, relaxed, and unpretentious. Perfect for summer and any age. Not revolutionary, but it delivers. Rating: 8.5/10.
I love this cologne! Fresh for intense heat days, nothing heavy, and very refreshing. Pity the longevity, but everyone loves the scent. It’s a classic, and for the price I got it, I don’t mind that it doesn’t last. I had to have it. Rating: 7/10.
So rich! I tested it on a friend, but I still don’t know why I haven’t decided to buy it yet.
Clinique Happy is fresh, luminous, and uncomplicated, ideal for anyone seeking something cheerful, light, and safe. However, its short longevity, generic evolution, and recent reformulations make it unappealing if you’re looking for lasting sillage or originality. If you’re drawn to its citrus brightness but value presence more, you might want to look for other options with better performance or more complex fragrances.
A fresh fragrance; it’s the only one I’ve bought again. It’s nothing extraordinary, but for the price, it’s worth it, though you shouldn’t have high expectations. Ideal for staying home fresh out of the shower on a weekend morning, after the gym, or for going for a walk with the dogs, running errands, etc. It can also be used for the office, but I personally prefer something less citrusy for that. Box: The box is made of light cardboard with a normal design, orange with the perfume name and brand, nothing out of the ordinary. 7/10 Bottle: At first, I didn’t like it, but I grew to love it; it’s clean and the color is striking, the cap fits perfectly with that shiny metallic color; it’s not very ergonomic but looks good on a display. 8/10 Atomizer: Average, it’s good but nothing extraordinary. 7/10 Price: I got it in Mexico for $35 USD, which is fine; considering this is one of those fragrances you’ll use very frequently, it’s a good price to buy another bottle without worry when the first one runs out. 9/10 Longevity: Personally, I don’t feel I have good longevity; at most, it lasts about 2 hours on me, but it’s a perfume for that; short activities or situations where there’s no need to project, something subtle, and it clearly fulfills that function. 7.5/10 Projection: Limited but not bad; you just have to apply well and without fear; this fragrance will never be annoying. It will radiate a bit beyond the arm at first, then just at skin level, but again, this fragrance isn’t about projecting and invading an entire room, so it’s satisfactory. 8/10 Compliments: I remember it was the first perfume that got me compliments; it was an Uber driver while I was in the back seat, so I was surprised that it was noticeable from that distance. In the short term, it does get compliments. 9/10 Final Note 7.9/10 Conclusion: Very fresh fragrance, one of the best citrus ones I’ve tried; you don’t need to expect great longevity or projection, but that’s what this fragrance is looking for, and it’s not that. This is the best addition to the collection if you’re looking for that subtle weekend fragrance, the scent of relaxation after completing the day’s tasks.
I see this as super unisex; it’s my lifesaver in the heat. To me, it smells like tangerine peel—fresh, citrusy, with that bitter note I love. The longevity and sillage aren’t the best, but I don’t mind reapplying every four hours. If I wear a lot, it lingers on clothes for over eight hours. I use it to mix with my other perfumes to make them frescer. It feels like a basic, but I’ll keep buying it because I can’t find anything that smells quite so much like tangerine, and this does it perfectly.
It’s a fairly sparkling citrus, with a well-mandarin opening (if such a word even exists…). I like its name quite a bit because, effectively, it’s a fragrance that projects happiness, enthusiasm, energy, and good vibes. Its only BUT: longevity and projection. If you want others to notice it, you have to apply generously (I use at least 10 sprays) and then reapply at least every 4 hours. Let’s say that for its price, that’s not a problem. I have the 300 KM/H from AVON, and yes, they go down the same path…. And both are quite weak on longevity. I’d recommend them only because their prices are low; besides, they’re quite likable and not intrusive. But be warned about their trail and longevity. For 100% summer use, daytime, if it’s sunny it’s even better, and in informal, relaxed contexts. The outfit that matches perfectly would be: sandals, drill pants, Hawaiian/guayabera/summer shirt, glasses, and a desert-style hat. That’s it!
I’d heard about it. I applied it to my wrist one day to see how it evolved. A simple yet balanced fragrance; I’d say it opens with a soft mandarin and a citrus scent that, after half an hour, gets wrapped in a marine and spicy note that I love. In the base, you can perceive a very soft fruity and floral touch. Warning: don’t overapply because it lasts 3 hours.
I love it; it’s that fresh-fruity-clean 🍊🏵️🧼 vibe I always look for in fragrances, and it’s good quality. It doesn’t last long, but you can reapply every 4 hours without guilt because it’s cheap, so you can pump the trigger without any issues. Edit: I used it yesterday, 6 hours later, and a waitress at a café gave me a compliment. I couldn’t even detect it myself by that time, but apparently, others could.
This has been my signature scent for over 20 years. I’d describe it as a very fresh mandarin that gives you the sensation of just getting out of the shower; it’s very neat, well-rounded, not obvious in its notes, not intrusive, and quite discreet… but that last point is exactly its biggest flaw; it doesn’t last absolutely anything. I’ve reached over 15 sprays in a single application, and it disappears completely after 30 minutes. Anyway, it’s worth it because it’s extremely affordable and has a sparkling, relaxed, very nice vibe. For the past few years, I’ve only bought it on Amazon because it costs $30 USD, whereas anywhere else it’s $50, and I wouldn’t pay that for this perfume, even though I love it so much, due to its longevity issues.
A fairly basic citrus fragrance with disappointing longevity and projection. I was about to buy it blind, but I preferred to test it first at a department store. The scent is pleasant, though generic, and in the end, you confirm its poor performance. On my skin, it barely lasted an hour or two, and its trail was practically non-existent. I give it a 6/10.
I tried it and felt very citrusy; you can definitely smell the mandarin, lime, and lemon, plus marine notes, almost like Avon’s 300 Km/h. However, on my skin, it feels very greasy when applied because in hot days, I sweat when wearing it, losing its scent. But for cold days, I’d recommend using it.
A good alternative to Nautica Voyage, don’t get me wrong, they don’t smell the same or even similar, but they’re in the same line of cheap, easy-to-wear perfumes for daily use, especially in the heat. Unlike Voyage, this has a much more mandarin-forward opening; I’d describe it as mandarin juice with ice and a light touch of woods and jasmine. Very youthful and suitable for any occasion that isn’t formal.
It’s like the typical ‘granny vibe’ perfume, with a well-concentrated mandarin blast at first. In several stores, it reminds me a lot of Versace Pour Homme, but much less masculine. This would be perfect for a seasoned woman, a cheeky MILF reviving her golden years. It’s not bad; it’s one of those perfumes that just smells good. It’s too simple, though the drydown has an interesting creaminess; the musk gives body to the citrus and creates a nice trail. I don’t dislike it, but it’s one of the last I’d pick for a quick selection; I’d have to plan its use carefully. Scent: 5.8 Projection: 6.1 Longevity: 2.8 Final Rating: 5/10 ***52.7% perfection***
It’s one of the richest citrus scents I’ve ever tried; wearing it in the morning gives you that energy and happiness to kickstart your day. The downside is it doesn’t last at all. It’s usually on sale at airports, and that’s the only way I’d buy it again.
