About This Perfume
Think Bright bergamot air with peppery, woody sea breeze: that is Michael Jordan Flight. It opens with African orange blossom and bergamot, moves into pepper, sage and Virginia cedar and settles on ambergris, seagrass and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and the office. Released in 2011.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
