Lucky Number 6, released in 2006 by Lucky Brand (a Liz Claiborne house), is a women's fragrance that captures the essence of a spring garden with a modern aquatic twist. Created by perfumers Loc Dong, Laurent LeGuernec, and Pascal Gaurin, this scent offers a balanced blend of white florals, green notes, and a soft musky base. It's designed for the woman who wants an easy, uplifting fragrance for everyday wear.
The fragrance opens with a burst of lotus flower, tiger lily, and peony, creating a fresh, watery floral impression. As it settles, the heart reveals tea, lychee, and jasmine, adding a subtle fruity and aromatic depth. The base is composed of cashmere wood, musk, shiso (purple mint), and amber, providing a warm, comforting finish that lingers gently on the skin.
Lucky Number 6 is positioned as a casual, daytime scent, perfect for spring and summer. Its moderate sillage and projection make it suitable for office wear, while its fresh character keeps it from being overpowering. With a price range of $40 to $80 for 50-100ml, it offers good value for those seeking a reliable floral without breaking the bank.
The initial spray is a burst of aquatic florals. Lotus flower and peony dominate, with a watery, slightly green quality. Tiger lily adds a subtle exotic touch. The overall impression is fresh, clean, and invigorating.
