Michael Jordan (1996)
by Michael Jordan

This was a recent blind buy and I'm pleasantly surprised. The initial notes are reminiscent of Drakkar Noir mixed with the mild cedar of Aspen beneath and, although I'm not a fan of either, it seems to work for me here. The drydown is where it gets complicated, becoming an interesting blend of citrus and cedar-odd in a nice way. While folks have mentioned problems with a lack of longevity here, I have to say it stays with me much better than most of my colognes. Muted, of course, but still with me. This is pleasant and not synthetic the way the notes list would seem to suggest. As a big fan of value, this cool little $6 bottle makes this an even sweeter find.

An oldie, but a goodie. Really the perfect formula for a sport scent. Has a cool bottle, is inexpensive, versatile, and fresh. I've had a bottle in at some time or another for the past 15 years.

Got a 15ml mini at Walmart for 6 bucks... so right away it wins a "money saver" award. But is it worth the money you could've spent on a better frag? Maybe, maybe not. I bought it as an add-on to another fragrance I was buying just because I wanted to try it out so I can't really answer that from experience.

It's very generic smelling, so you know its not going to blow your nose hairs back. It reminds me a bit of T by Tommy Hilfiger, except it's got a "darker" feel to it whereas T has more of a "lighter" feel. It's sporty, a little spicy, and sweet. I like the dry down alot, even though it stays close to the skin. Actually, this stays pretty close to my skin in all phases, but I wasn't really expecting much anyway for 6 bucks. And unfortunately, it gave me very limited longevity, which I can't excuse even given the cheap price. Other frags of comparable cost last longer than this did for me...

Overall, it's just ok. Nowhere near a thumbs up, but not poor enough to deserve a thumbs down. It's a decent knock-around juice, good for an after shower spritz or running errands just to smell nice, but I won't have much use for it otherwise.

Not bad at all for the price. Axe comes to mind for sure.. But this smells better, maybe sweeter, tangy. I've had people say bad things about Axe, not with this. Doesn't last the longest, and not the most potent stuff around but good stuff for a great price.

Michael Jordan is a great everyday scent that is less synthetic smelling than many in its price range. From the top it smells like a mix of citrus and pepper, projects moderately for about 30 minutes and maintains its top notes for about 10-15. The middle is quite grassy; dries down to a very light sandalwood patchouli that stays fairly close to the skin.

Often overlooked and forgotten -- MJ is a wonderful fragrance and great for the average Joe buyer who's tired of Curve and its 50 flankers. Overall I give MJ a C.
