Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Cassia · Cucumber · Mandarin Orange
Heart Notes
Carrot · Hyacinth
Base Notes
Sandalwood · Woody Notes
The top notes arrive as a bright opening of cucumber, mandarin orange, and cassia—crisp, refreshing, and decidedly summery. This airy introduction immediately establishes the fragrance's clean, refined character, with mandarin's citrus warmth balanced by cucumber's subtle coolness. The effect is poised and inviting, like a quiet confidence that draws people closer.
As the fragrance settles, carrot, hyacinth, and water hyacinth emerge at the heart. These floral and vegetative notes create an intriguing, subtly magnetic middle that feels both elegant and wearable. The hyacinth adds a soft, powdery grace while the carrot note provides an unexpected earthiness—a sophisticated twist that prevents the scent from becoming ordinary.
The base unfolds with sandalwood and white woods, grounding the composition in warmth and refinement. Here, Happy Heart becomes an intimate skin-close trail, projecting with noticeable presence without overwhelming the senses. The woody base lingers gracefully, ensuring the fragrance carries you through day into evening with understated elegance.
Performance & Wear
Happy Heart delivers 6–8 hours of noticeable projection on skin. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion and longevity. Layer with the coordinating Body Oil to extend wear throughout the day. Perfect for spring and summer occasions. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
