Aroma: Quite fresh for an amber fragrance. The opening notes of green mandarin and bergamot definitely lighten the richness of the warmer notes and keep Ambre Nue firmly aligned with the cologne...
this is like a well rehearsed opera. every note is in tune with each other.the 3 players are the amber/vanilla/incense mix. very intoxicating but also cloying after a few hours. I only have a 3ml...
Elegant, subtle, and refined,
For an introspective frame of mind.
Close to the skin, it lingers on,
I'll re-apply before it's gone.
I wish that it would longer stay,
But "Less is More,"...
Bentley for Men Intense opens with the faintest brief spray of dulled citrus mingling with a sheen of black pepper, before quickly adding laurel and cinnamon spiced smooth boozy rum-laced incense...
From your description, the first thing I thought of was Tiffany for Men. It can be bought directly from Tiffany. It is a fresh but powdery masculine scent that is very similar to Pour Monsieur from Chanel, but better. Another in this category that has a slight more herbal base is Monsieur Givenchy - a very fine, lemony, men's cologne chypre with a slight powdery touch. Pure elegance.

My first thought as well. Tiffany for Men is incredible.
Midnight in Paris(but has a burnt rubber smell), CKN2U is like cinnamon rolls and baby powder, and D&G the one gentleman is like a talc with bubble gum.
Check out Bvlgari BLV and BLV Notte too. BLV was one of my most complimented ever, Notte is basically the same but a little less powdery with a light chocolatey note.
Seriously lots of good suggestions above including DH and MIP. Lanvin Arpege PH is heavy on the powder and can be had for cheap at Perfumania type stores and online.
I just realized that, for a fresh and powdery scent, Bulgari Blu is my favorite. Tiffany for Men is powdery and good, but I wouldn't consider it "fresh."
Big +1 for Burberry Touch, which has tremendous sillage.
I also recommend Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin, Guerlain Homme Intense, and Armani Diamonds for Men.
All are very good also.

If you can find arpege pour homme cheap online please tell me where. It seems its all but dissapeared from all online retailers.
I saw it at some mall in San Jose, California about 1 year ago (one of those Perfumania type places). Since you're in UK, I'm guessing the Beatyencounter transaction would be easier. I have ordered from them before and had good transactions.
