Spicy and woody without sweetness?

Spicy and woody without sweetness? 0

I enjoy the spicy, woody, resinous qualities of Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum and Pasha de Cartier Noir but both are a bit too sweet for me. After 3-4 hours, Most Wanted just smells like a sweet vanilla vape to me, no spice or woods. To my newbie nose, Pasha doesn't have a pronounced spicy smell and I don't particularly like the citrus in it. 

I'm fine with designer or niche, as long as the fragrance is still in production and samples sprays are available on sites like DecantX or Surrender to Chance.

Amouage have got tons of this. Memoir Man, Epic Man, Purpose are the ones that come to mind.
Also check out 4. Montabaco Intensivo, Ébène Fumé Eau de Parfum, Le Gemme - Kobraa, Le Gemme - Falkar, Sultan Vetiver, De Los Santos

I'd recommend also Re-Charge Black Pepper Eau de Parfum. It's such a nice fresh spicy-woody fragrance without sweetness and still in production with a matching body care line.

I have a reed diffuser from Molton Brown with this scent! Can confirm it smells great, at least out of the diffuser, haven't tried the EDP

I'm going to recommend Tam Dao Eau de Toilette. I don't find it sweet at all and it's quite subtle, no pine.

+1 on the Amouages. Have you ever tried Ambre Loup?

Purpose +++

Sultan Vetiver ++

Opus VII - Reckless Leather - very spicy, no leather despite the name.

Agar Wood - starts out spicy but settles into more of a tobacco/leather/oud

Les Jeux sont Faits - very nice, although might be too sweet for you

Tiger has some sweetness in the beginning for a short while, but after it dries down (most of its life) the sweetness pulls back

1920 The Origin Eau de Parfum very dry, masculine cumin scent

All of these should be available at scentsplit.com, maybe surrender to chance. decantx probably only has a few.

Bois d'Ébène - a little sweet

Bois Impérial Eau de Parfum - I wouldn't mention sweet

Ganymede Eau de Parfum
