Clinique Happy vs Chance Eau Tendre

Clinique Happy was a cherished fragrance from the 1990s-2000s, but community consensus indicates it has been significantly reformulated and degraded. Current versions are criticized for poor performance, unwanted synthetic notes, and disappointing longevity compared to original formulations, making it a source of frustration for loyal former users.

The r/fragrance community views Chance Eau Tendre as a polarizing fragrance with a devoted following among those who appreciate fresh, light florals, but significant detractors who find it powdery, short-lived, and overly mature-smelling. The EDP and EDT versions receive mixed reviews, with the hair mist preferred by some as a fresher alternative.
