Another 13

An ultra-modern, ambroxan-driven skin musk originally created for Le Labo's space. A hazy, clean blend of ambrette, jasmine and woody musks that smells like warm, radiant skin — minimalist and addictive.

NOSE: Nathalie LorsonRELEASED: 2010RETAIL: $200 - $345
The Quick Answer

Another 13 opens on Ambrette and Jasmine Petals, moves through Ambroxan and Pear, and dries down to Ambroxan and Musk. At $200 - $345 it is firmly luxury pricing that demands you love the profile first, with long lasting (8h - 10h) on skin. Reasonably safe to blind buy if the note list appeals to you.

Updated Spring 2026Eau de ParfumMethodology: note-pyramid analysis + community performance data + AdeGbe scoring model

Composed by Nathalie Lorson for Le Labo in 2010, Another 13 sits in the juicy fruit space of modern perfumery. Below, our research team breaks down its olfactory structure, measured performance, and ideal wearer.

The Opening

It opens on Ambrette, Jasmine Petals, a floral introduction that sets expectations before the heart emerges.

The Heart

As the top notes settle, the heart turns juicy fruit and golden amber, built around Ambroxan, Pear, Moss. This is where the fragrance reveals its true personality, roughly two to four hours in.

The Dry-Down

The dry-down anchors on a golden amber and soft musk base of Ambroxan, Musk, Woody Notes, the phase that clings closest to skin and lasts longest.

Another 13 is genuinely unisex. Its season vector points strongest to spring, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to daytime and office wear. If you gravitate toward juicy fruit and floral compositions and want strong longevity, it belongs on your shortlist.

One Honest Warning

No major red flags in the composition, but fragrance is personal — skin chemistry can shift the balance of notes, so a sample wear is always wiser than a blind purchase at this price.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does Le Labo Another 13 smell like?
It is a hazy, minimalist musk dominated by ambroxan — clean, dry and slightly sweet, with a soft jasmine and ambrette haze. The overall effect is abstract and skin-like, often described as smelling like warm, radiant skin rather than a traditional perfume.
Why do some people dislike Another 13?
Its heavy reliance on the ambroxan molecule is divisive. To some it smells luxurious and addictive, while others find it flat, salty or cardboard-like. Because it is built around a single dominant synthetic, reactions are polarised and skin chemistry matters a lot.
Is Another 13 unisex?
Yes, completely. Its abstract musk profile has no strongly gendered notes, and it is widely worn by everyone. It also layers very well over or under other fragrances thanks to its clean, radiant character.
Is Another 13 worth buying?
For the money, Another 13 ($200 - $345) is a considered purchase. It projects at a soft to moderate / radiant level and lasts in the range of long lasting (8h - 10h), which puts its performance well above average. It is worth it if you connect with its Ambrette and Jasmine Petals character; if you want an all-occasion safe blind buy, sample first because it leans toward casual daytime wear.
Can I wear Another 13 to the office?
Yes, within reason. Another 13 sits at a moderate soft to moderate / radiant projection, which is generally office-friendly with one to two sprays. Apply before you leave home rather than at your desk, and you should stay within polite, non-intrusive range through the working day.
Is Another 13 good for summer?
Not really. Another 13 scores only 28% for summer — heat tends to amplify its Ambroxan and Musk base and push it toward cloying. It performs far better in spring, so save it for cooler months and reach for something lighter when it is hot.
How many sprays of Another 13 should I use?
Two to four sprays suits most people. Another 13 has soft to moderate / radiant projection, so you can apply a little more generously than a beast-mode scent without crowding others. Spread sprays across pulse points and let it settle; its long lasting (8h - 10h) longevity means you rarely need to reapply.
Is Another 13 safe for sensitive skin?
Another 13 is an alcohol-based eau de parfum and its note list includes materials such as Ambrette, Jasmine Petals and Ambroxan, some of which fall under EU-declarable allergen rules (for example linalool, limonene or coumarin depending on the notes). That does not make it unsafe — most wearers have no reaction — but if your skin is reactive, spray onto clothing or patch-test on the inner arm first. This guidance is based on the published note list, not a full INCI breakdown.
