How Do I Choose a Woody Fragrance?
Fragrance is an important accessory to many people. Unlike a necklace or other jewelry, a fragrance is usually worn often enough that the person becomes associated with the scent. For that reason, the scent should be one that the person likes and one that is also not too overpowering or too light. Woody scents are considered appropriate for both men and women to wear, although the ingredients in such scents are more commonly found in colognes. Does this Spark an idea?

Read the ingredients. Woody scents use essential oils from items like moss; trees, spruce in particular; and grasses rather than flowers.

Spray the fragrance onto the inside of your wrist. Your skin chemistry will react with the fragrance to produce a scent distinctive to you, according to Boston.com. For this reason, it is wise to avoid using scented papers to choose a fragrance.

Wait until the scent almost completely wears off--about a day. That last bit of scent remaining, called the "dry down," is what will stay with you for most of the day and is also what most people will associate with as your fragrance.

Use your nose, not your eyes. Don't be swayed by pretty bottles or designer names. Instead, choose a woody fragrance that is pleasing to your sense of smell.

Stay within your budget. Don't pick the first fragrance you like if it is overly expensive. Instead, shop around and see if you can find something you like just as well for less.
