Clinique Happy Scented Home Candle Review

 I did not like the Clinique Happy perfume at all so when I saw the candle version of the scent- I didn't want it at all. But then it went on sale for around $25 so I picked it up. I think the original price is $50. I figured I hd nothing to lose. 

Clinique claims:

A limited-edition candle fragranced with Clinique's signature scent. Clinique Happy balances vibrant notes of grapefruit and bergamot with sensual Hawaiian wedding flower and spring mimosa for a scent that sparkles with sheer delight.

I really enjoy this candle. I wish I had picked up a couple more but they sold out fast! The perfume does not smell as good as this candle and I don't know why. There is just something about the perfume that was off for me. It's very fresh yet very floral. But very fresh and modern floral. Every time I get a conscious whiff of it I'm like "Oooh what's smells so good?" Then I  would remember I had this candle going. Looking at the notes, I won't be able to pick out what notes I smell. I just know that they all come together and smell amazing. It really reminds of of Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue- just in candle form. 

Why didn't I pick up another? 

The packaging is also great. It comes in a nice quality frosted glass with the name printed on it. I always like the when the candle has a printing over a sticker. It just feels better thought out. Attention to detail matters. Especially at this price point. It also comes in a nice box so it would be perfect for gift giving! 

The throw is there- you can definitely smell it. It's not one I go nose blind to. It's not overpowering either-it is there in the background making the room smell good. I think it does great in a medium to large room. Probably wouldn't do so great in a large room with high ceilings..but it works well in my space.

You do have to make sure you trim the wick or else you will get some sooting. I had a little when I let it burn too long but that was my fault.

Usually daytime fresh candles are not my vibe but I really enjoyed this one and I wish I had bought more. It's too bad it was limited edition. If you happen to see it in a discount store- grab it! I think this one was totally worth it. It might be my favorite Clinique product I have tried!
