Clinique Happy in Bloom Perfume

Give your girl the newest Clinique fragrance for Spring! Clinique’s Happy in Bloom perfume is a scent that evokes the season of spring inside a bottle.

The bottle is decorated simply with a trio of pretty pink flowers. This limited edition Clinique set includes a lipstick compact in the same shape as the pretty flowers on the bottle. The compact would be perfect for on-the-go touch ups. The ‘Happy in Bloom‘ scent itself is a brighter floral version of Clinique’s ‘Happy’ perfume. $52.50 at Nordstrom
