Description
Famous basketball player Michael Jordan is launching his new perfume named Flight. This perfume is the fifth in Jordan’s collection of fragrances for men.
Michael Jordan‘s Flight opens with refreshing notes of bergamot and orange blossom. Central notes carry strong and characteristic aromas of sage, pepper and cedar, while a base closes with amber, vetiver and sea moss.
The fragrance features a very interesting package which represents rubber sides of Jordan’s Air Jordan sneakers and the bottle interprets his square shoulders. This interesting packaging was even nominated for the best ‘green packaging’ in the category Fragrance Mass submitted by Five Star Fragrance.
Flight by Michael Jordan can be expected on the market by September 2011, in amounts of 50 and 100 ml.

I have LNDL but I don’t have L’homme. I find the open very much similar to LNDL. Not bad for the price. I can’t complain about the longevity because of how affordable this is. I mean, the LNDL 2.0oz was $35. SMH. This is much better than MJ 23. 23 is just plain juice water. Legend will be my next buy.

Wauw this shit is good, €8,99 and very similar to ysl l’homme.
potrebitel12345 – :
I really like this scent. It’s a brighter, more fruity YSL L’homme on my skin. The performance is about the same to slightly worse as L’homme which sucks, but it’s a cheapie so you get what you pay for.
If you like L’homme then this is a safe, cheapie, blind buy and a good dumb reach for running errands or working out in warm weather.
If this was a flanker I’d call it “YSL L’homme Sunny Spring Day”

The sprayer on this juice is terrible. So don’t be afraid to give it about 10-12 sprays. Just my 2 cents.

Michael Jordan Flight is really interesting. Flight was my fourth Michael Jordan after Michael Jordan, 23 and Legend. It to me is the most complex. It is to me a combination of two Yves Saint Laurent scents, L’Homme and La Nuit de L’Homme. This makes it interesting.
Flight has a strong open with orange blossom and bergamot. It really is pretty strong and smells really one my ex liked on me from first smell. Then it goes spicy in the mid with a strong pepper note though not as headachy as Villain or Sauvage are. I also notice woods in the mid before going to vetiver and amber in the base.
Flight is really versatile. Flight works from about April until October/November, depending on cold snaps. It works day and night. Flight works in nearly any setting except for maybe upscale and club settings. The club is due to performance limitations and the upscale due to some synthetic notes. But, that isn’t a knock on Flight. Flight does perform. It projects moderately for about an hour and a half, and lasts six hours.
I would rate Michael Jordan Flight an 8.2 out 10. It is really the best scent from His Royal Airnesss’ celebrity fragrance line. This is due to its daytime La Nuit de l’Homme take on L’Homme and the price you can find it going for in most bargain retailers like Ross, Marshall’s and Burlington. I wish it would be a little stronger, but I can’t really complain too much for the price.

Another blind buy for me, when I heard it was similar to YSL L’homme I ordered it, then I almost regret the purchase of this one while waiting for it to arrive but now
as I´m writing this I have it on my skin and I´m so happy that I purchased it, it is very nice scent
and IF it perform well I could have it together with Moschino Uomo as daily office fall perfume
because it is pleasant, warm and inexpensive.
I will write more about it later.
Update:
It lasted the whole working pass.
You can’t go wrong with this one, for that price you get a good juice.

1 spray hour test:
1 hour: It projects well and the top notes are rounded off
2 hour: it projects lightly and the top notes are gone
3 hour: it becomes almost a skin scent with low projection
4 hour: skin scent with very low projection
5 hour: almost gone
Smell: 8,5/10, nothing overwhelming very mass-appealing, YSL L’homme clone.
Perfomance: 6/10, average longevity and projection.
conclusion:
This is a very mass-appealing scent which is ideal for school or the office. Clean and manly. Very good alternative to YSL l’homme with very much the same scent and same performance.
Pessockie – :
I would literally pay twice as much as I did for this fragrance.
This smells like 50% YSL L’homme and 50% shower gel.
If you want an extremely safe fragrance, you should definitely consider this.
сэмэн – :
Nice mix of YSL L’Homme, L’Homme Intense and a bit of Bruno Banani Pure Man. Also very good price for decent scent. Avarage parameters but not worse than todays batches of YSL. If you like YSL go get it, you will not be disappointed !
extesskew – :
Cheap but amazing quality and smell..
A good alternative to YSL L’homme.
You’ll never regret buying this ..
Uchchilka – :
YSL L’Homme, yes, it does smell very similar. L’Homme is blended so much better, though, so much better. This is a little more manly because of the stronger pepper note, l’homme smells a little feminine to me sometimes. Like everyone else has said, longevity on this is terrible. Smells great when you spray it, but on my skin it’s completely gone in 2 hours, completely gone…not even a skin scent…**poof** Really, that’s ok, because it costs like $13 for 100ml. I’ll probably go for l’homme when this runs out, but it’s a decent substitute for now.

this liquide…..will impress you….its practically free..lol

Just picked this one up based on the reviews comparing to YSL L’homme. Upon initial spray I get something that smells closer to Mont Blanc Legend, however, it quickly dries down and starts to smell more like L’homme. It’s not as natural smelling as L’homme but definitely not the most synthetic cheapie I have encountered either. Longevity isn’t as long as L’homme. This lasts about 4-5 hours with maybe an hour of solid projection before settling closer to the skin. While not a total replacement for L’homme I am still pleased to have this in my collection as a basic errand running scent. Among the Michael Jordan fragrance line I would put Flight as a close second to Legend.
arfabella – :
Inferior to the original, which at least has a citrus/musk vibe as opposed to Flight’s botched seafoam / aquatic notes and musk vibe, which is better accomplished through the likes of Express Loyalty and Nautica Voyage N-83, if that’s what you’re going for. Granted, those options are slightly more expensive, but not by much, and Flight just misses the mark, but you get what you pay for. I thought the original was weak and generically alcoholic with the actual notes subdued, but Flight is much worse in that it’s more pungent in the wrong way. Nonetheless, I’d still like to try Flight Sport and especially Legend, which remain the four pack I bought.
4 out of 10

I do really like this and agree thats its very similar to L’homme but with that said it still has its own character that seperates it.
The main differences between L’homme and flight is that L’homme is a little more crisp and on my skin smells musky in the drydown where as this takes on a more smooth,woody,masculin approach. I do like the L’homme opening more but I do prefer the Flight drydown as the woods in the drydown are really quite nice.
L’homme to me is kind of a metro scent where as this is a little more masuline for sure.(Which I like because sometimes L’homme could come off a bit feminine)
Performance is only average around the board. It lasts on me about 3-5 hours and projects ok but nothing special
All in all id rate this a 7 out of 10 !
Nice scent for a great price and a great L’homme alternative 🙂

Please kindly put the flight sport in your library…

This is not bad but the longevity isn’t that good with this. You’ll probably get a few hours if applied generously on clothing. The smell from the start is pleasant for sure. This is good for the younger crowd. The Jordan fragrances provide a great value for the price.
SearSkallyRer – :
Imagine a slightly more masculine version of YSL L’Homme. A bit more peppery and not as sweet. That’s what this bottle is. For what it costs, it’s definitely worth it. It smells like a much more expensive fragrance. I’d recommend it for casual to business- casual wear in the spring, fall, or winter.

Every person has a different descriptive sense of what is palatable. My thoughts at an earlier time, this fragrance would never be apart of my collection. Well…..I was wrong. There is definitely a Fierce, YSL, and the tail end of Curves for men present Is this. Three very popular Fragrances that have caught the attention of many women. This Fragrance is simple. Spray on, walk away, get compliments. It’s a very underrated cologne. The compliments I received today were phenomenal. Unfortunately, I am allergic to all 500+ bottles I own. As a cardinal rule amongst cologne junkies. We are taught never spray on our clothes, and only on skin. Well, I have broken this rule and have discovered that most colognes project very well on fabric. So, just wear it!!
slavaazov – :
I have the sport version kinda smells like marijuana smoke and l’homme mixed
puteec1204 – :
This used to be one of my “signatures”. Great “starter” fragrance for someone. I am a huge fan of basketball and grew up watching Jordan, so I will always have a small affinity towards anything MJ. 😉 but, it is what it is – a starter scent. A good one though. 🙂

I blind bought a gift set of this at a local dept store that no one shops at, for $13. I got a cool plastic bracelet or whatever the cool kids call them now days in it. I originally wanted MJ Legend but it was sealed up and the girl couldnt open it for me. This one had a scratch n sniff sticker on it.
I almost typed Fierce.. Flight; reminds me of Fierce initially minus any floral notes, to me at least. la nuit de’ l’homme’s base is similar to this, (the sample of la nuit I had smelled of a stale ashtray with old cigarette butts.) Yet Flight smells like la nuit homme at that point, (minus the ashtray) from what i remember of it sprayed on the card. I enjoy the smell of this when it settles.
Knyazevan72 – :
Gosh! Flight does give you that YSL L’Homme vibe, and I bought the 6 oz. body spray today for $7. This is an excellent YSL L’Homme knockoff for those any occasions when you don’t wish to wear the original and/or prefer to save some money. The alcohol opening fades fast and the spicy/citrus/floral accords soon emerge for the dry down.
I will be buying another as a backup. Give it a try if you see it in the body spray can.
Update: It’s an after the shower body spray so do not expect a 5 to 10 hour projection.

Jolly good stuff. Paid several bucks more than what you can buy in the US but it’s ok. Yes, it is enjoyable for summer weather.
elesmera – :
Wow…I’m speechless…I believed your reviews and I bought it blindly. It’s outstanding ! It smells verrry expensive. It has a fresh clean vibe to it but there’s something in it that would easily allow you to wear this on a night out on the town or to work!

Smells great in my opinion. Definitely a fragrance for cooler weather. Fresh warm spicy
eidenveis – :
The best in the Micheal Jordan colognes.My opinion
jeronimo116Rus – :
This is a really pleasant fragrance. Flight is very fresh and is perfect for the spring and summer. As j-shades stated this smells very much like YSL L’homme but not as smooth or as sweet. Projection and Longevity are avg.Definitely worth the price.
vener3-6666 – :
Smells great!… It reminds me of Inner Realm for men…
Vitoldi – :
Smells lk yves saint laurent l’homme but not as sweet.. I got to give MJ props on this one.. they did good.. best cologne by him I think, but everyones nose is different.. lol!!
m0lotok – :
it’s by far the best Michael Jordan fragrance, not too strong but it does have that power you need, also it smells great, fresh clean sporty scent, and lasts a good 4-8 hours depending on how much you use. I could wear this fragrance anywhere really. I advise anybody to at least give it a try.
b333xy – :
This is by far the best colonge by jordan! I love it!
kqc579speagoessenda – :
The rubber sidings can be removed if one finds it awkward. The scent is sporty and refreshing as usual. Pepper adds some sharpness but not a spicy vibe. I wouldn’t exactly call it generic aquatic as it has some complexity and richness. Anyway, that’s all I can say because I unintentionally washed it off too soon (-_-)!
