Howdy!

I have been thinking of buying these, but before pulling the trigger, I would appreciate your opinion as to the best ones in terms of powdery notes.

Thank y'all in advance!

I can only comment on Habanita. The EdT sure is powdery, but the often quoted vetiver-vanilla accord is here more distinctive than in the parfum, which on the other hand is not powdery, comes with a nice leather-like touch (Molinard sells small flacons) and stays rather close to the skin.

I have smelled The Baron and Anucci.....It's been way too long since I smelled Habanita.....Between The Baron and Anucci I like Anucci the best.....I had this a long time ago.....My Son still wears this often.....I was shocked to see this fragrance mentioned.....I heard that this was Mr. Dillard's signature scent years ago.....Not sure if that's true.....I did purchase mine at Dillard's.....They no longer carry this in stock.....Brings back many memories.....Thanks for mentioning this Great scent!!!

Can only speak for Habanita, the edt starts off as a powder puff explosion, but as the fragrance wears on you, the powder melds with the other notes more smoothly. The parfum (which I prefer) starts off where the edt leaves off, warm smooth rich, with just small wisps of powder floating through.

The Baron is powdery, not like Canoe or Brut, but closer to Arpege Pour Femme or perhaps Derby and Amouage Gold - floral rather than baby powder.
