Description One of the original “skin scent” cult classics — a soft, salty musk-and-amber haze that smells less like perfume and more like the best version of your own skin. Created by perfumer Nathalie Lorson for Le Labo, the New York niche house, Another 13 launched in 2010 as a collaboration with AnOther Magazine, built around just thirteen ingredients. Reviewers consistently describe it as warm, clean, and quietly addictive — a molecular musk that hums close to the body for hours rather than announcing itself across a room. Scent Character Woody — 56% Sweet — 19% Floral — 12% Fresh — 12% Translation: a smooth woody-musk core (driven by Iso E Super and ambrette) softened with a touch of fruity sweetness and a clean floral lift — cozy, second-skin, and easy to wear. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Pear, Apple, Citruses Heart: Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Amyl Salicylate, Moss, Jasmine Base: Iso E Super, Cetalox, Helvetolide, Ambrettolide Performance Longevity: Long but subtle — reviewers report it lingers 6–10 hours on skin, though it sinks close to the body as it dries down. Rated 3/5 in our internal testing. Sillage: Soft and intimate. This is a true skin scent — it rewards close encounters rather than filling a room. Rated 3/5. Projection: Moderate at first spray, settling quickly into a comforting, body-hugging musk. If you want a loud statement fragrance, this is not it — if you want clean, magnetic, and personal, it is exactly right. Best Occasions & Season Occasions: Work/Office, Evening Season: Fall, Winter — though its clean musky character makes it genuinely year-round. Gender: Unisex — equally flattering on anyone.
