Most powdery fragrances

[The_Scentinel]

Hello friends,

In contrast to many that I know, I love powdery fragrances and those that exude a more mature aura.

Even though I own a lot of expensive niche fragrances, I find myself craving and wanting to wear, almost exclusively One Man Show Gold Edition. Are there any other fragrances in the same vain? The more powdery the better. I am not afraid of smelling dated not of powerhouse fragrances. Vintage Kouros has a similar feel to me as do vintage Le Male and Jaipur Pour Homme. There is something that gives me a great sense of presence when I wear these fragrances. More suggestions gratefully received.

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.

Amouage Gold Man
Lorenzo Villoresi Teint De Neige (maybe on the feminine side but definitely powdery)

Thank you, I'll seek it out.

Yes, I do enjoy Gold, it may be time to get a FB. Thanks for reminding me of that one.

I find Burberry touch to be extremely powdery

[Dane77]

I get a lot of powder from Dior's Eau Noire.

[Ken_Russell]

In my personal experience: getting quite noticeable of powdery impressions from Dior Homme, YSL L'Homme, Roma Uomo (not so much its flankers), Habit Rouge EDT (again, no EDP or other flankers), almost any Prada Infusion, Pierre Cardin Iris Sauvage, L'Erbolario Iris, Chanel Coco Noir.

[Andrè Moreau]

Tiffany for Men

[sjg3839]

Hdp 1725

[FSU92grad]

I'm not a powder fan at all...but check out ANY of the Prada fragrances including Infusion D'Homme....I returned it because it was too much powder but YOU might like it....

[Shiny Helmut]

I too enjoy the powdery nature of Habit Rouge EDT and I can't pass up this opportunity to once again recommend Helmut Lang Eau de Cologne: it's discontinued but well worth tracking down.

[hednic]

Lann-Ael by Lostmarc'h is pretty powdery to me.

[Davem81]

Acqua di Parma Colonia has a definite powdery-ness about it to me.

[perfaddict]

Penhaligon's The Hammam Bouquet
Musk by Lozenzo Villoresi
Another nice powdery scent is Royal Copenhagen

[HDD8]

I've always interpreted Dior Homme as powdery - more than any other I've come across, I think. This one doesn't do anything for me, but seems to get some good reaction from the ladies!

I've tested Dior Homme l'Eau, which I quite like, as the powder (iris?) is somewhat toned down.

[Preston H]

+1 on Gold man

[tonghpafu]

LIDGE and Burberry Brit are very powdery to me

[Preston H]

Also Tom Ford Noir

[BRM85282]

Habit Rouge EDT

I am pretty sure there was a recent thread on this very same topic... That said, Jardins d'Armide by Oriza L. Legrande definitely fits the bill to my nose, and then some.

[andym72]

Big ol' powdery ones...

Habit Rouge (EDT or EDP)
Tom Ford Noir (HR for beginners)
Versace Baby Blue Jeans (HR for teens!)
Burberry Brit
Body Kouros

[knightowl]

Jaipur Homme EDP is definitely powdery and decadent. Love it to bits. Deauville pour Homme's top and middle has soft clouds of powder. Really nice.

[scentimus]

Royal Copenhagen

[DarshVader]

Versace The Dreamer. Way too powdery for me.

[Theo]

Another vote for Tom Ford Noir EDP (the EDT is more musky and woodsy to me) and Creed Himalaya can be fairly powdery on the drydown.

[Casts_by_fly]

Mona D' Orio Amber is very powdery. L'Heur Bleu is too if you can wear it.

thanks

Bulgari BLU Pour Homme (known as BLV to some) is a real powder bomb to me. Have to admit that I liked it for a short while but lost my taste for it fairly quickly.

[The_Scentinel]

Tiffany for Men

Have and love it, I just wish it lasted longer and projected a little more.

Hdp 1725

Have it and find it a little too soft for me.

I'm not a powder fan at all...but check out ANY of the Prada fragrances including Infusion D'Homme....I returned it because it was too much powder but YOU might like it....

Own all of the Prada frags and yes, they are to my tastes.

I too enjoy the powdery nature of Habit Rouge EDT and I can't pass up this opportunity to once again recommend Helmut Lang Eau de Cologne: it's discontinued but well worth tracking down.

Habit Rouge is another one of my favourites in this genre.

Acqua di Parma Colonia has a definite powdery-ness about it to me.

Will have to try this one again.

I've always interpreted Dior Homme as powdery - more than any other I've come across, I think. This one doesn't do anything for me, but seems to get some good reaction from the ladies!

I've tested Dior Homme l'Eau, which I quite like, as the powder (iris?) is somewhat toned down.

I have it but don't find it powdery (not in the way that I am looking for)

LIDGE and Burberry Brit are very powdery to me

I own both of these but don't really get powder from them.

Also Tom Ford Noir

Again, I own it but don't get powder at all.

I am pretty sure there was a recent thread on this very same topic... That said, Jardins d'Armide by Oriza L. Legrande definitely fits the bill to my nose, and then some.

The most recent thread I found in the search was from 2012.

Big ol' powdery ones...

Habit Rouge (EDT or EDP)
Tom Ford Noir (HR for beginners)
Versace Baby Blue Jeans (HR for teens!)
Burberry Brit
Body Kouros

Own all of them but only get the vibe I seek from HR EDT

Jaipur Homme EDP is definitely powdery and decadent. Love it to bits. Deauville pour Homme's top and middle has soft clouds of powder. Really nice.

Do you have Jaipur EDT as well? I actually find it more powdery than the EDP.

Versace The Dreamer. Way too powdery for me.

Own and like it a lot.

Another vote for Tom Ford Noir EDP (the EDT is more musky and woodsy to me) and Creed Himalaya can be fairly powdery on the drydown.

Himalaya is a good suggestion; I don't wear it too often as it gives me a bit of a headache.

Bulgari BLU Pour Homme (known as BLV to some) is a real powder bomb to me. Have to admit that I liked it for a short while but lost my taste for it fairly quickly.

This is a funny one; everyone says how powdery it is, but upon purchase, I could barely smell it!

Great suggestions everyone, I'll try some of them for sure.

[döfä91]

Prada Amber Pour Homme is a very powdery fragrance (but an amazingly good one). Masculine and long lasting.

[Beck]

Amouage Gold Man
Lorenzo Villoresi Teint De Neige (maybe on the feminine side but definitely powdery)

this + Dior Homme vintage, Kenzo Flower and Amour, Nu, Mitsouko, Back to Black, Chanel N°5, Cuir de Russie.

[dougczar]

A lot of good ones already mentioned.

I would add Chergui and Lumiere Noire Pour Homme.

[bbfan]

Have and love it, I just wish it lasted longer and projected a little more.

Interesting. I personally find Tiffany For Men to be a fairly powerful scent with excellent longevity and about as much projection as I would want.

[ShaverX]

So you don't find burberry touch powdery? To me it is as powdery as it gets....hhmmm

[bigbz]

LIDGE and Burberry Brit are very powdery to me

Definitely Burberry Brit, most powdery scent I've ever smelt. Thankfully on Lidge I don't get much powder on my skin. I'll add that both MIP and DHI are pretty powdery as well.

[The_Scentinel]

I just don't like the overall fragrance. Have almost bought it a few times, but there's something not quite right for me.

[The_Scentinel]

A lot of good ones already mentioned.

I would add Chergui and Lumiere Noire Pour Homme.

I do own these; perhaps I need to wear more of my current collection as I may find that I already have what I am looking for and don't know it!

[The_Scentinel]

Prada Amber Pour Homme is a very powdery fragrance (but an amazingly good one). Masculine and long lasting.

Amazing fragrance. One of my absolute favourites. Have a 'vintage' bottle that I am cherishing!

[ShaverX]

I just don't like the overall fragrance. Have almost bought it a few times, but there's something not quite right for me.

I totally understand. I find it to be a weird combo of powder and pepper. But just threw it out there as it is quite powdery, at least for my taste.

[bbfan]

Forgot about this one - PdN NY. Extremely powdery, also fits the "mature" requirement in my view.

[Casts_by_fly]

Forgot about Terryfic Oud from terry d gunzberg. Very powdery oud.

[atrac]

+1 Royal Copenhagen. Also Caswell Massey Jockey Club. Major powder in that one.

[fragrance123]

For me Mont Blanc Individuel.

[hedonist222]

Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige

[Andrew_B.]

Amouage Dia Man EDP

[Oslo-Fjord]

Yes, Gold man and also Nicolai New York.

[TLS]

Also La Parfumerie Moderne Desarmant.

[saminlondon]

Here's the recent thread on this subject:

http://www.basenotes.net/threads/380910-Most-Powdery

One not mentioned is Miss Balmain, which is chock-full of the stuff.

[SndyDrmmr]

I'm not sure how high on the powdery scale this rates, but I find Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme to be powdery.

[BoyChanel]

I love Iris scents so I'm certainly going to check out many of these suggestions. Great thread

[JimmyP]

Burberry Brit and Touch are both very powdery.

I would also add:

YSL La Nuit (really surprised no one mentioned this)
Invasion Barbare
HDP 1725
