4 Best Smelling Michael Jordan Colognes

Michael Jordan is not only a basketball icon, he is also one of the most famous people on the planet. Younger people from across the globe, who never actually saw him play a game, still buy his shoes and clothing at a high rate. Back in the late 1990s, Jordan capitalized on this popularity by launching a celebrity fragrance line. In this post, I want to pick the four best scents that have been launched under the Michael Jordan name, and talk a bit about what makes each one worth a try.

What are the Best Michael Jordan Fragrances?

Most Popular

Michael Jordan Men Eau De Cologne Spray, 1.7 Ounce– The original and still among the best of this line of fragrances. Though, I wouldn’t rank it the highest, this fragrance from his Airness has a certain fresh quality to it.

It’s a blend of citrus and green/woodsy elements. Fairly synthetic but clean. The citrus notes open things up. Then, the herbal and greenish notes start to come through to up that freshness. Juniper and cypress are the main ingredients that I can pick out from the aroma.

After that, it’s a woodsy/musky blend, which gives Michael Jordan cologne a somewhat soapy cleanliness.

Best for Summer

Michael Jordan 23 By Michael Jordan For Men. Cologne Spray 3.4 Ounces– 23 is a cologne that kind of hits you with a bit of misdirection. It starts off like a standard aquatic with citrus and melon notes but then becomes more floral and interesting, led by a geranium note.

It’s a solid casual wear for the warmer months, at a cheap price point. There is a spicy freshness that comes through during the wear. Mainly, I get a watery fruitiness up top, geranium clean, with an additional magnolia. The performance isn’t that great, but it’s also like $15…

Best Overall Jordan Scent

Michael Jordan Flight Cologne For Men 3.4 oz Eau De Toilette Spray – Flight is a nice little substitute fragrance, sort of like a Designer Impostor’s scent. It has a lot of similarities to numerous fragrances, most notably, L’Homme by YSL.

They don’t strike me as exactly the same, Flight is more in your face and spicy than is L’Homme. Still, for the price, a good bet.

That being said, the spiciness isn’t overly intense, it comes across as a clean and fresh aroma. That then, is blend with a bit of amber and a citrus smell.

Best Performance

Mîchael Jordan Legend Cologné for Men 3.4 oz Cologne Spray– Legend is a sneaky good fragrance from the Jordan line and probably gives the best performance out of any of them. Sweet and warm with an aroma close to that of Rochas Man.

It’s main notes include coffee, leather, amber, lavender, and anise. Legend is a cold weather cologne that delivers. Not overly warm and heavy, like the more expensive gourmand fragrances. This one is thinner, but still brings a pleasant and pretty long lasting scent.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
