From your scent profile
Elixir Attar Spirit of Japan Extrait de Parfum sets a spicy opening of clove, cinnamon and turmeric against a smoky, woody base of Papua oud, Vietnamese oud and sandalwood.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

What does Spirit of Japan (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?
The top carries clove, fenugreek, turmeric, cinnamon and aniseed, with gardenia adding a soft floral touch. The heart holds labdanum, heliotrope, cumin and cypress, while the base is dominated by the two ouds, musk, benzoin and ambergris. The overall impression is green, resinous, earthy and slightly animalic, with a fresh edge in the background.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is a unisex scent for those who enjoy dense oud and spice. Amouage Bracken Man and Lush Breath of God have a close profile.
