 The Story Behind Another 13

Created in collaboration with AnOther Magazine, Another 13 (named after the number of ingredients in its formula) is part of Le Labo’s experimental collection. It’s designed to smell like your skin but better—a whisper-close, almost molecular fragrance that lingers in the air around you.

 Scent Profile & Notes

• Heart & Base Notes: Ambroxan, Musk, Jasmine, Moss, Woody Accords
• Vibe: Warm, musky, slightly sweet, and undeniably addictive

What It Smells Like:

• A clean, slightly salty skin scent
• A cozy cashmere sweater infused with warmth
• The lingering trace of someone who just left the room

 Who Would Love This Perfume?

✔ Minimalists – It’s not loud or overpowering.
✔ Musk Lovers – If you adore Glossier You or Juliette Has a Gun’s Not a Perfume, this is a more complex cousin.
✔ Office-Friendly Wearers – Subtle enough for close encounters.
✔ Unisex Appeal – Works beautifully on all genders.

 Longevity & Sillage

• Longevity: 6-8 hours (but lingers as a soft skin scent)
• Sillage (Projection): Intimate—people notice it when they’re close to you.
• Best For: Everyday wear, dates, and when you want to smell effortlessly good.

 The Verdict: Should You Try It?

 Pros:

• Unique, addictive, and gender-neutral

• Expensive (like all Le Labo fragrances)
