Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina
by Aerin Lauder
Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina is a bright, citrusy floral with a clean, youthful character that feels ideal for spring and summer. It opens with a juicy clementine and bergamot, followed by a delicate white floral heart of honeysuckle and jasmine. The dry down brings in subtle earthy moss and soft musk, giving it a quiet, grounding finish. It feels refreshingly natural and modern, with a balanced sweetness that avoids being cloying. While some note a resemblance to Clinique Happy in its airy, clean floral structure, others find it surprisingly less sweet than expected—though this may be due to conflicting perceptions of its floral center. The perfume performs best in warm weather and is especially well-suited for daytime, office settings, or casual outings, where its moderate sillage ensures it remains subtle and compatible.
