Brooks Brothers 1818 struck me as quite powdery with an old school barber shop scent. While I do enjoy many old school and/or powerhouse type frags, BB1818 almost smelled too old fashioned for me which is why I've been on the fence about buying it. But if powdery and mature is what you're after, it's worth sampling. Not sure if you guys have Brooks Brothers stores across the pond but you can always find their stuff on ebay.
