Jeeves of Hudson Street is a very powdery barbershop. Awesome scent and great performance.

Thanks guys, I think I can find Jeeves locally I am going to go check it out.
Stirling Barbershop and B&M Cool Reserve. The latter is a creation of Floid Blue which is a barbershop scent
Stirling Barbershop seems really powdery to me. It is not of the Bergamot, Basil, Oakmoss and Light Patchouli variety you find with Chiseled Face's Ghost Town Barber, Mickey Lee's Kraken and many other Barbershop fragrances. The Stirling is a very warm, comforting, slightly sweet and almost gourmand take on Barbershop. Think Cookie Dough. May not be for everyone, my personal preference is with the GTB and Kraken varieties, but I'm not a fan of powdery fragrances.
I wasn't impressed with Fine AB's scent..it was more cologne-y than barbershop IMO.

Is the Fine, Stirling and Jeeves more along the lines of PAA CaD than say Mikes Natural? That's all I really have to go on. That and Uncle Jon's which is different from those also.
I suggest though try Fine American Blend (also the AS): very barbershop to my snifter!! 
I'm not familiar with Jeeves, but I would put Fine and CaD in the same camp. Kind of cologne like, but I've only compared aftershaves of the two and like CaD more.
Mike's Natural is in the sweeter Bergamot,Basil,Oakmoss,Patchouli realm.
Stirling isn't like any of these. Powder and Vanilla are the strongest notes to my nose.

Fine AB and CaD smell almost identical with a Barbasol scent, I don't even know that I could tell them apart if I closed my eyes.
I'll add Tiki Bar Soaps 1920's Barbershop as a very powdery scent. I bought a sample, and it was too powdery for me!

Barrister & Mann Reserve Classic has certainly got that powdery scent. I love it. On top of that it is a top tier soap.
"Inspired by 60s vintage aftershaves, Classic’s clean, slightly powdery notes of citrus, lavender, moss, and sandalwood will keep you cool, calm, and collected for as long as you need to be."

The Jeeves is not a cologne style barbershop scent. It has traditional components of oakmoss and bergamot, but has a very pronounced powder component and is, by far, the most I have smelt in a barbershop soap. It also has spices as a component in the descent but I am not able to identify specific ones.
+1! My thoughts exactly. WSP Barbershop, Mike's Natural Barbershop, & Soap Commander Honor are all very close to the same scent, so good!!
+1! Agreed completely! Amazing stuff
Stirling barbershop is my personal favorite barbershop scent and one of my overall favorite scents!

I only have 3 to compare, but out of Noble Otter, B&M and Stirling barbershops - I'd say Stirling is the most powdery.
Boellis 1924 Chiaia. Quite bonkers - like somebody emptied a bottle of perfume over your head. Love it.
