A funkier step down from the original MJ, but not bad
Michael Jordan 23 is a 2005 release, one of the many follow-ups to the original, more famous Michael Jordan cologne from 1996, and, as with most of the follow-ups, it’s not quite as agreeable as the original. I gave the original modest marks, its sport-musky mostly-fresh vibe being middle-of-the-road but very affordable. 23 has a bit of a funkier vibe, pairing the citrus/musk in the original with purported notes of fig and geranium, so it’s less, fresh and less bright than the original while still having a reasonably similar character of the 90ish sporty cologne, a less sophisticated offering along the axis to the Polo Sport. And its performance leaves a lot to be desired, but since the scent itself is only so agreeable, it’s probably best that projects and lasts modestly.
