I like how 3 of these are heavily cinnamon after he stated it wasn't his favorite.
Check out Amouage Memoir Man, Ambre 114, Invasion Barbare, and Cypre Palatin.

OS is a cinnamon bomb, and it's pretty noticeable in Sushi Imperial...
As for my suggestions, I was just recommending some things that didn't clash with anything he didn't like.

For u OS is cinamon bomb, for me is sandalwood + berries , Sushi I, after dry fruits, after citrus, after spice, after sandalwood, yes there is touch of cinnamon , but u must go all the whay in deep to find cin. in this one... Cinnamon bomb is MR.

Re: Looking for New Scent
Thanks again folks. Love trying new scents, so buying samples sort of my Xmas present to myself -- appreciate your guidance.
Re: Looking for New Scent
How about Wondewood? It has Oud, but not particularly Oudy. You may enjoy the pepper, nutmeg and woods.

+1 on Wonderwood, while you're at it CdG2Man is worth a look.

OK today I tried Amber 114. Interesting. Great sillage and projection. A tad sweet for me, and has a strong powdery smell that my wife found a bit too effeminate for her tastes. Picked up some rose smell and a bit of mint -- at least to my nose. I am not as knowledgable as you folks, but my bottom line is its nice, I can see why people love it but not right for me.
New scent tomorrow. :)

Today was Amouage Memoir. Really like it. Applied it 8AM still smell it at 10PM and smile each time I get a waft of air. Very incense based scent -- reminds me of old fashioned catholic churches but more sophisticated -- thought it was patchouli but on reflection/research I believe it is frankenscence. Although very different it feels much closer to Spice and Wood then Amber 114 did.
New scent tomorrow. :)

Today was L'air du Desert by Marocain. Fantastic. Like it even more than Memoir Man. Similar incense smell but seems smoother, more complex -- I even get a light rose smell even though the description doesn's list it. :) So far best of the bunch and closest to a Spice and Wood alternative.
