Michael Jordan Michael Jordan is a Cologne, created by Steve DeMercado. Michael Jordan opens with Cognac, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Cedar, settles into a heart of Lavender, Clove, Incense, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Michael Jordan's Michael Jordan carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Michael Jordan is a divisive beast: adored by some for a nostalgic hit of clean, woody freshness, but slammed by others as a synthetic, cheap headache. It's a classic for a reason, but temper your expectations if you weren't wearing it back in the day.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

This shines in casual settings and for sport due to its fresh, clean, and often light-wearing profile, making it a safe bet. Its moderate performance generally keeps it from being overwhelming for the office, but it lacks the sophistication for formal events or the allure for a date.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of cypress and grapefruit, quickly smoothed by a subtle cognac warmth and the clean greenness of geranium. As it settles, a heart of aromatic lavender and clary sage emerges, interwoven with a hint of spicy clove and dry fir resin. The base finally delivers a comforting blend of earthy patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and a soft, clean musk.
