Lucky Number 6 for Men (for men)

***1/2

Soft and floral, yet masculine. It's very light, but easily detected by others. Pretty exotic design on the front of the bottle. It's great not only having a nice fragrance, but a bottle that makes you want to lift it before you've smelled it.

Similar to Bora Bora by Claiborne, however in my opinion Bore Bora is too floral... it's almost feminine. It could possibly pass for perfume.

Well well well... Isn't this an amusing little fragrance! And I mean this in the best possible terms. I was first attracted to it by the design of the bottle and its oriental feel, which I like. Many of the notes are personal favourites of mine such as plum, geranium and tonka beans. And as it's so reasonably priced, I saw no reason not to treat myself.

The number 6 in mandarin chinese is pronounced "liu" and is associated with luck because it sounds like another chinese word meaning flowing, or smooth, without friction. The box in which the perfume comes in is quite nice, as boxes go. A dark grey background with some golden decorations and a red dragon on the front. The same dragon is printed in black on the sides of the box. The amusing part though, is on the back. There, in gold, is printed this: "The scent of success belongs to you. Become a man of magnetism and mystery. Wear this exotic essence of neroli, hydroponic plum and sandalwood... and an air of prosperity will be yours". It's a little bit daft of course, but it made me smile. And when was the last time any form of packaging did so!? ;-)

So how does Lucky 6 smell? For this, let me just point you to knightz's review, which is spot on — I couldn't agree more. The fragrance is light, very well made, and the notes compliment each other. It's fruity but not too sweet. It's fresh but the suede and tonka add some depth and richness. And as already mentioned, it's just perfect for relaxed/casual circumstances.

I don't know if Lucky 6 will give me an air of prosperity or make me lucky, but I'll keep wearing it even if it does not. In that case I will just rename it "Happy 6" because of its joyful light-heartedness.

Top: Bergamot, Neroli, Pineapple, Watery Notes

Heart: Suede Accord, Plum, Geranium, Gingerlily, Nutmeg

Dry Down: Cashmeran, Tonka Bean, Amber, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk

Very, very nice scent. This is the only scent I have that lists a pineapple note and I can actually smell pineapple in it. The opening is bergamot and neroli that is sweetened by fruity pineapple. The neroli is not intense in this. It's a fairly linear fragrance, and is joined right away by a rich plum and a floral accord, including geranium (a favorite floral of mine), that is spiced up with light nutmeg.

The whole scent is on the light, but rich, side and it does have some projection due to a light suede accord, tonka, and sandalwood coming from the base. There is a light cedar note in the base, but Lucky Number 6 is not a woody scent so the cedar is only a background note.

I think it could be used as a romantic or date scent because it is always pleasant when sniffed up close. I don't smell any amber or musk although it's supposed to have those. Very well mixed, a unique scent. Too fruity for business, it's casual for relaxed days or evenings. Well done.

I originally purchased this fragrance for the bottle. I like Japanese or Asian influence art work. I enjoy having this bottle out on display and guest will comment more on the bottle than the fragrance. The fragrance is nice, light and somewhat generic. It does warm up to a welcoming sensual notes.
