Michael Jordan

This is my childhood. This is the scent association I have to sitting in my best friend's bedroom, circa 1998, on a freshly laundered Pokemon bedspread sprawled on the floor, playing Star Fox on his Nintendo 64. Chicago Bulls posters lined the beige walls of his room, and sitting on his disheveled desk desk, alongside a Scottie Pippen bobblehead, was a small flask of Michael Jordan cologne. We would spray it in the room like a diffuser, and it would waft through the musty air for hours. Great memories of brighter, more blissfully ignorant days.. The spice of juniper berries with the alluring, almost musky feel of the fir and incense combination, are quite enjoyable even without the nostalgia. Very synthetic? Yes! What did you expect from a $10 fragrance? But it's honestly pleasant, and it does last (at least on my skin) for several hours with (again, skin dependent) unexpectedly great projection. Most people who enjoy an older fragrance for it's nostalgic emotive aspect exclaim the conspiracy of a "major reformulation," which totally diminishes the value of the fragrance to them, but this fragrance is absolutely true to memory after 10+ years. 10/10 in my book! Although my 10-year old self may have a significant say in that rating! ;)

5 years ago or so I would have been loath to try Michael Jordan, as I am not a huge basketball fan nor big on celebrity fragrances. However I saw a gift set (cologne and aftershave lotion) for $12 at Burlington Coat Factory, and couldn't pass up the deal. I had heard this was a decent casual frag, and indeed it did not disappoint! Green and woody, and ever so slightly aquatic, Michael Jordan is perfect for the gym, running errands, or any casual occasion. Good, but not great lasting power; average projection. Incidentally, the aftershave lotion is the strongest and longest lasting cologne aftershave I have ever tried. Not groundbreaking by any means, but MJ represents the best of its sporty milieu. It just smells good in a clean, unpretentious way. The me of 5 years ago would have snobbishly rejected such a fragrance, but now I can appreciate such a bargain frag. Don't knock the celeb fragrances until you try them!

legend in the nba! i love this scent its very complex and high quality, most people dont give it the rep but its a perfect scent for me, and not too unisex or femnine and he knows what GUYS WANT TO SMELL LIKE not unisex stuff that ur girlfriend will be dumping on its really an aromatic hybrid scent because its got a spicy masculine matrix and the sandalwood patchouli and musk give it some sensuality while they are carefully controlled and the citrus and green notes help blend the entire woodsy spicy components to give a very casual laid back chill scent to wear everywhere i gotto say this is really more sexy than many of the higher end colognes because its sporty and designed for athletic guys and makes u smell athletic and physically active rather than horndogs bathed in some frag to pick up women at a club

Spray it, and be transported back to 1999 playing N64 or Dreamcast... This scent IS my childhood lol. A friend got a bottle for Christmas the year before and I begged my parents for it... a few lawn mowing and car washing jobs later and it was mine. Back then in wasn’t a budget frag it was like $70 a bottle. I’ll always have a soft spot for it. Can’t say enough good things about MJ. Most of the flankers are all clone frags but THIS... this is its own animal.. don’t pass it up grab a bottle today! Scent 10/10 Sillage 8/10 Projection 7/10 Longevity 9/10 Overall 9.25/10 it’s a classic

Michael Jordan is the undisputed GOAT. Undefeated in the Finals and in my nostrils. Crybaby LeBron could never have his own fragrance. If LeBron had his own fragrance it would smell like tears and dirty socks. Michael Jordan got the crud kicked out of him and still became a champion, meanwhile LeBron had to quit in the finals because the A/C got broken. The first Space Jam is the Citizen Kane of my generation, then LeBron had to go and ruin it. I have no idea what this smells like
