Lucky Brand Jeans No. 6 Cologne


Lucky Six Cologne (or, Lucky No. 6 Eau De Toilette) is marketed by the Lucky Blue Jeans company. The number Six name for this cologne comes from the Chinese belief that the number Six means perfect balance. This cologne is a pleasant balance of notes, that create a sweet lasting aroma. If you like Wings by Giorgio of Beverly Hills, then this fragrance is one you may like.

The Notes in Lucky for men appear to create balance, although I might not refer to it as perfect. A rather exhaustive search of the internet fails to disclose the individual notes in this cologne. They are a combination of Natural herbs, Wood, Spices, Flora, Neroli, Hydroponic Plum, Amber, and Sandalwood. Neroli is similar in scent to bergamot which is made from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree. Neroli likely produces the sweet spicy notes that I favor in this cologne. It has been used since the late 17th Century as an essence used in fragrances. I believe hydroponic plum is a fancy word invented by Lucky in the marketing of this perfume. Hydroponic being a method of growing plants. The plum essence probably adds additional sweetness to this fragrance. The sandalwood is likely in the low range, as it is a bright essence that is long-lasting . The woody scent of the sandalwood does not overpower the sweet notes in the upper ranges of this fragrance, making it a sensual warm fragrance that is likely to attract attention. I like this fragrance, but I would prefer Wings For Men to Lucky No. Six For Men.

Lucky Six was introduced in 2006. It is a relatively new fragrance that does not seem to have really taken hold. The lack of marketing of this fragrance has relinquished it to a niche market. The Epinions partner sites have this fragrance listed between the twenty and thirty dollar range, with the best price currently set at $17.99 from Scented Monkey. I have seen this fragrance at TJ Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory with a price tag of $19.99. The TJ Maxx price included a stick of matching deodorant. I’ve never really been big on the fragranced deodorants since they are generally not very effective when I use them. However, it’s practically a freebie at that price.
