I've tried a few! My thoughts:

I like the Oscar Blandi non-aerosol powder. A little goes a long way, and the small bottle from Sephora is great for travel. In contrast to the OP, I don't mind the scent.

I tried the Oscar Blandi aerosol version, and after one use, the canister was mysteriously empty. I did a google search, and apparently a number of other women experienced the same problem. (Interestingly, I emailed Oscar Blandi and they never replied.) The aerosol is a new product, so maybe I just got one out of a defective batch. Fortunately, I bought it from Sephora so they took it back.

I also use Bumble & Bumble Hair Takes a Powder in my brunette hair. I wish I'd gotten the non-aerosol version before they discontinued it, because it's a great product, in theory, for those of us with darker hair. The biggest problem with the colored aerosol...make sure you're using it away from towels, rugs, walls, etc., that could be stained by flying powder.

Recently I've bought the Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser. This is a bit different than other dry shampoos because you're not supposed to brush it out. I'm not sure if I love it, but I'm periodically giving it a try. (It's also an aerosol, and the bottle is big, which is a downside for travel.)

There's one more I've tried--it's the original one I used--but I'm blanking on the name. I want to say it's from a European company (maybe German), and comes in a white can with perhaps green writing. It's a decent product, and one I'd used again (if I ever remembered what it was called).

Haven't tried Pssst, but will have to give it a shot! I'd love to find another brand that sells brown-tinted dry shampoo, preferably in non-aerosol form.

Edited to add:

I did a little searching, and came across two other brands that offer non-aerosol, tinted hair powder.

Cake Beauty Satin Sugar for Darker Hues

Hair Fix

I'll have to give one or both of them a try!
