Another 13 Le Labo for women and men

Le Labo does Escentric Molecules. Or should I say Le Labo does L'Antimatiere? Whatever....

An "invisible" concoction with absolutely no animalic notes detected. This is the purest woody amber and that's it. What it smells like? Cedarwood, other woods, even more woods, metallic amber. Sometimes it's sharp, sometimes velvety, sort of clean and very minimalistic. Just like Escentric 01 or L'Antimatiere, the level of appreciation of Another 13 is strongly related to your personal grade of anosmia to the aromachemicals involved in the composition. Upon application it strikes as a sharp metallic amber to then quickly disappear from your body. You think it's gone but no way. There it goes again, on and on and on....and on with its unmistakeable woody amber aroma.

Do I Like it? Yes, well sort of. Let's say it's very pleasant and, because of that, it's not a case that woody amber became one of the most common bases in modern perfumery but be aware that Another 13 it's far from being artistically relevant or innovative. That being said, if you find it for cheap (almost impossible), get it...otherwise, seal you wallets as you'll get bored in no time.

Us usual with Le Labo, unappropriately labelled. I guess "Yet Another 13" could have been a better name.

Rating: 7/10

It's fantastic. Tried in Barney's and loved it.

I will post my humble review about this Amazing fragrance.
I went yesterday to Barney's and I can only say that this is way beyond fresh and clean is something special that is like heaven like walking on clouds. The exotic darker woods makes this fragrance unique.
I am going to disagree with all the reviews because everybody is different and has different Ph. Saying that the sillage of this fragrance on my skin last almost 11h.

Another 13 by Le Labo, is as described, a synthetic take on musk and ambergris in the form of ambrox. This chemical component smells somewhat salty and sharp on the skin, but it's also surprisingly inoffensive in small doses.

This fragrance is not your typical crowd pleaser. Le Labo is a house I admire because they take risks and most often produce loud, hard-hitting fragrances that have the ability to turn heads. Another 13 is fascinating, but also a little disappointing for me.

The chemical aroma is apparent from the very beginning. Along with green, citrusy bergamot and damp woods, the overall blend is impressively unique but sadly difficult to wear. It has a rather masculine feel, even a tad metallic at times, and while I have given Another 13 a fair chance to grow on me, I do believe I'll be passing on my sample to someone who will do it justice.

Agreeing with the reviewer on the 'Perfume Shrine', this is indeed not a musk in the traditional sense. Do not expect another Narciso Rodriguez for Her is what I'm trying to say. It's also far from being an animalistic musk.

Unfortunately the longevity was extremely poor. Two hours after application, it was almost all but gone. I see now why this fragrance was so rare and limited, my conclusion being that the brand knew it would not appeal to many consumers, only those that appreciate their synthetic approach, which sadly does not include me.

I completely agree with Henri345que in that this is a relatively unremarkable fragrance from a line that's better known for remarkable scents. This is nothing special, unless you want a very sheer, light, underwhelming scent that vanishes soon after application. My SA at Barneys was trying her best to introduce this to me as an exclusive/limited-edition. I gave it a try. As Henri345que accurately depicted, it's nice, has some amber and wood notes, but it's far too sheer to really settle and warm to the skin, and it lacks durability or sillage. They were almost too anxious to push this, suggesting that it's not gaining much traction. There are some excellent Le Labo fragrances; sadly, I don't believe that Another 13 is one of them.

Another is a perfect name for this fragrance, since it just another fragrance that explores velvet musk and sheer amber, without adding anything new. Have you ever wanted to feel the musky, woody, ambery base of several masculine fragrances, but in it`s most pure form? Well, if this is your wish, le labo granted it with this exclusive creation. What you smell is a aroma that seems like a stripped amber, with the animalic facets toned down and without the intense honey-propolis aroma that some ambers have. It`s a watery, but persistent amber facet, with a velvet, cashmere touch, some hints of cedar, some of sheer honey, and a creamy musk. The scent is quite linear, pleasant, but it seems like a base of a fragrance without any top or heart notes. It`s like they have composed a presentation material to show you all the facets that ambrox can have - and decided to sell this under a exclusive tag to the consumer.
