How it's used
Often used to describe a period of prosperity or a favorable turn of events in business or personal life. It carries a slightly more formal or traditional tone than the common term 順利, making it frequently heard in well-wishes or when reflecting on the overall state of affairs. It implies not just an absence of obstacles, but a positive, flourishing environment.
Examples
I hope everything goes smoothly for you at work later.
His business is doing so well, how could he not be making money?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 順境, which is the more common noun form used to describe a favorable situation or good times. While 順景 is often used as an adjective, 順境 is the standard term for the state of being in a good situation.
