I love spicey scents (Pinaud Bay Rum is my alltime favorite with Southern Blend) and was wondering if any could possibly help me find some others. I've heard British Sterling fits the bill?
Spicier Scents?

How about Jovan Sex Appeal for Men (spicy, quite inexpensive, comes in AS & EDT) or Dunhill Edition (more expensive, excellent blend of citrus and spice)?

Knowing Jovan is available at Walmart, I gotta go check that out!
Diesel Zero Plus is a real Spice Bomb...
Have you tried any other Bay Rums? Masters and Captains Choice both have nice Bay Rums.

Master's seems okay, but something about it is not for me. I would love to try Superior 70, though but I cannot find it locally and the closes Walgreens is about an hour away.
Are you primarily interested in cloves and nutmeg or would you be interested in other spices like pepper, cardamom or cinnamon?

Jovan Sex Appeal? Wow, that smells GOOD. I always skipped over it because of the name.
Hey Zack, next time you're at Walmart or CVS look for Z-14 by Halston, a 3.4oz bottle is ~$16-20, this is a nice spicy scent best during the Colder Months. The Sex Appeal, Aramis Original and Z-14 are my Winter go to Frags.
BTW, the British Sterling (BS) has more of an Amber scent with a touch of Spice & Sweetness, I use this often during the Work Week.

Will do! I tried British Sterling, it has no bottom end for me, like it's missing a base. Not for me, but I could see why some like it for sure.

Looking at the notes of Z-14 it sounds nice, but I'm not sure of the notes on Jovan. It definitely has cinnamon. Aramis looks decent but I am on a SUPER small budget (not that I'm cheap, just a student who needs to severely budget this stuff). I will check out Z-14. I highly enjoy spice scents.

I'll third the recommendation for Halston Z-14. Truly stellar, and for not a lot of coin.
I would also add Paul Sebastian PS to the recommendations. It's considered by many to be a more upscale Old Spice. It should be available for about $20.
Finally, check out Cuba Paris Red (Cuba Red).
Cuba Paris is a huge line of colognes that come in unique bottles meant to look like a cigar. The Red is a tobacco based fragrance, described as a "sharp, spicy, lavender, amber fragrance". It's said to be similar in smell to Aramis Havana, and Burberry London.
I picked up Cuba Red, Blue, Gold, and Orange on a recent outing to Perfumania for a sale price of 2 for $8. The price right now is $5.99 each. All four are great smelling scents, and given the price basically a steal.

Try the new Hanae Mori "Him" fragrance. Very spicy, very good.
I'd recommend Chanel Pour Monsieur or Chanel PM Concentrée and/or Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo. Plenty of spices, especially in Uomo.
Trafalgar is not bad but not quite to my liking, also spicy.
Noir Epices is good too.

Shame you don't like the British Sterling, there is s site I came across before where they have two bottles ( 115ml in each) aftershave and cologne I think for 13.50 Dollars. I would have got them myself but they don't ship alcahol overseas

I got a bottle of Sex Appeal and all I can say is this stuff is just what I was looking for 
Has all the spice I want, especially that cinnamon I like a lot. It has a similar cinnamon scent like Pinaud Bay Rum has, but otherwise TOTALLY different. It's low-toned and dark, and coincidentally is made by Coty who also makes Southern Blend (my favorite fragrance). This and Southern Blend will be my new favorites. I got the 4oz. bottle that is labeled aftershave/cologne as it had more for cheaper than the spray.

For $15 or whatever it costs, it's worth it. It's in the same family (in my opinion) as Old Spice and Pinaud Bay Rum. I think if you like either of those you'll like it. Has the super cinnamon of Pinaud, the dark spice of Old Spice, but has some other stuff in there I can't describe but from what I've heard is patchouli and sandalwood.
