Best Clinique perfumes for women

Top pick: Clinique Happy — the one to start with. A bright, clean citrus-floral that's the house's signature scent, hugely popular, and easy to wear every day; the small spray is a low-risk way to try it.

Who the others suit:

• Happy Heart — if you want Happy's citrus opening with a softer, more floral heart; the most romantic of the bunch.
• Aromatics in White — for someone who prefers a warmer, more grown-up floral and wants a full-size bottle.
• My Happy Indigo Mist — a light, modern mist for a handbag or a first fragrance.
• Simply — a quiet, understated everyday scent for minimalists.
• Aromatics Elixir — the bold, green, old-school classic; only for lovers of strong chypres.
