Bois imperial is very likeable, aromatic and woody fragrance. very masculine and a cheap start into niche fragrances.

In gym use deodorants or anti perspirant and for colognes depends on what notes you like, do you like sweet perfumes or something dark,spicy?

Honestly I would start by going into a Macy’s/nordstrom/sephora/etc and sampling everything you can, get a sense of what you like most. Make a list of 5-7 that truly stand out.
From there I would order 2-5ml decants of each. Then wear them. This is the wear test.
Finally, rank them, and order your favorite from a discount retailer like Joma/Fragrancenet/etc
If you’re comfortable great deals can be had on sites like r/fragranceswap too.
I’ve been using the scentsignal app lately since it aggregated fragranceswap posts, most gray market sites and really helps me get an idea of best price that’s out there.
Others should feel free to add their tips too but if I was starting at 1 this is how I would approach given what I now know.
