Lucky Number 6 for Men (2006)
by Lucky Brand

I really don't care for this at all. I made a blind buy because I figured, "heck, it's only $15." Well, I want my $15 back. The sprayer is also one of the worst ever. Of the colognes I have owned, this is on par with Lacoste Essential for lowest yield per spray ever. The longevity is terrible, the projection is also not good. This is almost a skin scent for me, even with spraying 7 sprays all over my torso. It lasts like 2 hours, tops. It's also extremely synthetic smelling, which isn't always a bad thing but here I just don't find the synthetic plum, or whatever is supposed to be, charming in the least.

I remember this being a strange and confusing beast when I tried it the first few times. It starts out as a pleasantly fruity wood with spices, and without much of the usual alcohol onslaught I'd expect for this price range. Even though one note stings my nose, and the fruit is a bit like strawberry (both of which should be dealbreakers for me), the combination of spices is just how I like it, so I bravely sniff onwards. I'm a bit disappointed when the strawberry turns more to cherry, as so often happens, but the wood and spices still keep my attention. By the base, I don't find as much sharpness or overripeness in the fruit as in most others, so for its price it's worth looking into if you like fruity scents. It also still maintains a bit of the refreshing aspect that so many others lose after the first few minutes...maybe some violet is what's prompting the comparisons to Fahrenheit and GF? Finally I get some vanilla, many hours into the base.

When I bought this I was expecting something on the lines of Lucky You. I'm not a big fan of Claiborne fragrances because of the chemical blast of the most of their fragrances. The opening is a strong oriental spice mixed with a clean/soapy/cedar drydown. This is an unusual scent that will get you a ton of compliments. Overall a great value and a pleasant surprise.

Regardless what anybody says, this is one of the greatest perfumes for the price, it is different, kinda exotic and very sexy. To get something comparable you would have to spend at least 5 times what you pay for this treasure.
I bought a coffret with a 3.4 oz bottle of aftershave, a 3.4 oz of EdT and a stick of deodorant for $14.99 at Marshall's, and I see the 3.4 oz EdT in ebay for less than $7 all the time.
The bottle is gorgeous and the juice not only is very pleasant but on me it lasts a long time, I sprayed a little after a late shower just before going to bed last night and I still could smelled it when I woke up. Sillage is low, but people close to you will notice it and will not be annoyed by monster projection.
Beautiful packaging, good juice and an exceptionally low price makes this perfume a winner in my book. Thumbs up all the way.

Yeah, I don't get the comparisons with Fahrenheit or Grey Flannel either.

For the price, Lucky Number 6 for Men is a decent fresh/fruity oriental. It lasts a good amount of time and projects nicely. That's about it, kids.

I learned a good lesson with this fragrance. Like so many others, I bought it at a super cheap price (TJ Maxx, thanks!). After the first wearing, I was prepared to give it a neutral rating, thinking I would sell on eBay to recoup my measly $10 to put toward a more likable cologne. Then I decided to give Lucky No. 6 a second college try and was pleasantly surprised. I actually like this stuff and must say it is a very unique fragrance. Someone said it smells feminine, but I respectfully disagreel. It is fruity and a little sweeter than my typical colognes, but not feminine at all. Otherwise, I wouldn’t wear it. I think the esteemed SirSlarty wrote the best, most concise review with which I totally agree. And heed his longevity comment: spray a few shots of Number 6 and enjoy it quickly, because it will disappear within just a few short hours. That’s my only criticism. Oh, and the deep red bottle is, indeed, very cool.
