Woody fragrance for men: fresh, spicy or oriental, which one to choose?

A woody fragrance for men can be fresh, spicy, oriental, or gourmand. To choose, first look at the notes that accompany the woods: citrus and aromatics for freshness, spices and amber for warmth, or vanilla and praline for more sweetness.
