What Reddit owners say
5/5 Mass appeal“I still wear all of those but the Dior outside of work but I'll also do some gourmands (Bianco Latte) and then Another 13, Glossier You, Chloe Cedrus, Zoologist Cow, etc. Lately I've been obsessed with Van Cleef California Reverie… tbh I don't think much of what I own would be NOT work safe besides the obvious ones.”
5/5“It's a Lelabo Another 13 dupe but it smells more than Not a Perfume than the actual inspiration. It's the best of both worlds actually. I used to own both Not a Perfume and Another 13 but settled for Montagne's version, a staple in my collection.”
2/5 Everyday“Fleur de Peau EDP has pushed Another 13 out of the signature spot for me in 2026. I'm not even sure how it happened because I didn't like FDP at first sniff. Somehow, one year later, I have finished a full bottle and have a backup bottle ready to go.”
4/5“Hands down it's Le Labo another 13 for me. It was crazy the first few days I wore it for the first time. Then I had a bet with my co worker to see how many people ask what perfume I'm wearing lol. We had 15 people in 5 days lol “ omg you smell so good what perfume is that ?” 💅🏼”
5/5 Compliments“Same for me! I have so many I love but it's always Another 13 people compliment”

4/5 Unique“Last week received 5 different samples of Le Labo. They all smell great on my skin. Will definitely add The Noir and Another 13 to my collection soon. Also a huge Guerlain fan.”
5/5 ProjectionFresh & clean“- Le Labo Another 13 (Baie 19 and Matcha 26 are another clean options, not my cup of tea but well loved by others)”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSynthetic / harsh“Le Labo - Another 13.”
5/5 SweetnessValue“I feel like I keep saying the same comment in every discussion, but Another 13 by Le Labo.”
5/5 Night out“Another 13- Le Labo ”
4/5 Fresh & cleanValue“When I first got the ANOTHER 13 SHADES it had an aquarium fish poop smell that would come and go.”
5/5 Value“I love Another 13. I bought a 1.7oz bottle but ran out and I can't really justify buying it again. There are a lot of dupes of it now. I'm a Musk from Finery is like 80% accurate and like $30”
5/5“So interesting how people smell Another 13 so differently! I don't get sweetness at all, on me it smells quite masculine and almost herbal. Very intoxicating though! I love it”
5/5 Summer“The ones that I've been loving lately for the summer that are flower-free are Black Salt, Eucalyptus 20, Vetiver Fauve (like a sophisticated Santal 33 if you like that one), The Noir 29, Imagination, Gaiac 10, Afternoon Swim, Orpheon EDT, Another 13 (I usually use it as a layer straight out of the shower), Bergamote 22, Alto Astral. Black Salt has been an unexpected hit on me with my family - they love it maybe even more than I do.”
5/5“Love that Another 13, le labo is really growing on me lately”
4/5 LongevityOffice“Just bought a sample of this - I'm after a new fragrance for the office. I've been using Another 13 which I love but doesn't last long enough for my 10-hour work days. I've got to say, I'm really disappointed. All i can smell is soap. Nice soap- but just soap. It lasts well but ffs, it's just soap. Any other recommendations would be gratefully received.”
1/5 Longevity“hows the performance on another 13? I've tried like 3 le labos so far and they all have terrible performance whis is crazy for how much they cost”
5/5 Office“I love Another 13! It's my Dr. Office/airplane fragrance. It's a scent that comes and goes and almost hangs around more like a sort of unlocalized aura than a perfume. I know what you mean about the difference between skin and paper, though. I literally can't smell it on paper. It smells like *nothing* to me until it's been on my skin for a minute or two”
5/5“Le Labo Another 13, Kilian Love Don't Be Shy and Chanel No.5 L'Eau are his favorites on me”
4/5 Mass appealOffice“For example, in my collection Another 13, Musc Outtreblanc, Fleur de Peau and 1957 fill a very similar space (all office safe, easy to layer but great standalone simple non-florals), but each of them gets reached for when I want a certain feel. I don't have any that are "lesser", just more appropriate depending on what's going on that day or what I'm wearing or how I feel.”
5/5“I have AnOther13, which I think I'm A Musk is supposed to be inspired by, so I haven't purchased it—but I absolutely love AnOther13b”
5/5“From my collection, Chloe Nomade, Le Labo Another 13, Boucheron Jaipur Bracelet, Matiere Premiere Vanilla Powder (or its beautiful inspo Khadlaj Fursan White).”
1/5“I work in healthcare too (well as a veterinarian) and we have a no scent policy. But I wear a little something, there are just so many horrible smells, just one spray or two at nape of neck or back of scrubs. Lake and Sky 1111, another 13, Pierre giullaume musk et la peau, molecule 01 mandarin, or Celine parade. I think most people are welcome for a tiny benign sniff of something”
5/5“I unfortunately have anosmia and can't smell either Amber or Another 13 but from what I've heard they're stunning (I wore Amber before and a friend was obsessed with my scent and it was so weird because I couldn't smell anything and was quite upset thinking it was a dud).”
5/5“Man I fell in love with Another 13 when I first sampled it. But then I couldn't smell it anymore in the small sample bottle. So I ordered the full. First day smelled amazing again. And now, I cant smell it AGAIN. Its not just me, even my wife. She loved it and now cant smell it. This is insane!!!”
5/5“I have yet to smell that one. My all time favorite is Another 13 (basic I know) but it blends so well with my skin it's amazing. I also like the noir and the matcha, beautiful tea scents.”
1/5“Bergamote 22 and another 13 smell disgusting on me”
4/5 LongevityFresh & clean“Other scents I have also used was Another 13, I liked it, but it didn't last long on my skin. (i always thought another 13 kind of smelled like Glossier You - then found out they both have ambroxan) I use Clean Reserve - Skin, it's a good everyday for me, smells soft and musky.”
5/5 Office“Another 13, Neroli Outrenoir (I have the lotion in my office even though it's not a hand cream for my bag), Le Labo Basil, and Byredo Bal d'Afrique and Mojave Ghost. Between these I can always find one that goes with what I'm wearing. If I had to pick one it would be Another 13. I do love the Aesop creams too!”
5/5 Fresh & cleanValue“My absolute favorite clean skin smell (and the one people follow me around to ask what I'm wearing) is Lelabo Another 13. I buy small travel size so it's not so expensive.”
5/5 Value“I love another 13 but not enough to justify the price. I decided to just buy another sample. The samples can actually last a while for me since I mainly go for my full bottles and use the samples sparingly. It's nice to have though!”
1/5 ProjectionHeadaches“Another 13 is....nauseating to me now. I can indentify it immediately when someone is wearing it and it is so loud and offensive for being a 'skin scent'”
5/5“I own and love both. Another 13 is what I consider the Swiss Army knife scent in my fragrance wardrobe. It layers perfectly with many other perfumes to add longevity and is also gorgeous as a stand-alone year-round staple.”
3/5 Synthetic / harsh“Le Labo another 13 is very synthetic Ambroxan heavy to me so it doesn't work as well on my skin but I do like it Heretic ghosts set sounds interesting!”
4/5 Fresh & clean“i bought dua another 13 shades, how is it smelling 2 months later? what's the main vibe you get from it? i've always heard it smells airy and clean and fresh like soapy and maybe like pears? how is it?? what should i expect, also how long do they take to ship bc it's almost been a week and they still haven't shipped it out or even made a label”
5/5“Yep you're just blind to them. I have friends who simply cannot smell another 13 an think I'm making things up when I say it's one of my all-time favorite fragrances. To me it's so strong and lasts a long time and consistency gets random strangers asking me about it. To some degree they get pretty upset they can't experience it and I feel bad for them 😅”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“GCE is a wonderful tea scent. Warm and cozy. Another 13 is one of my “dumb reach” fragrances. Suitable for most occasions, and on me, I've received really great feedback from those that smell it on me. I bring it out more in the office or in cooler weather though - in the summer it gets outshined by warm weather fragrances for me. If you like that soft clean laundry kind of scent, but like nothing you've smelled before, you should def get a sample and try it out!”
4/5“Those sound like great suggestions! Layering with citrus or floral notes could really brighten it up. I've had good luck mixing Another 13 with a light jasmine, too.”
2/5 Projection“theres a clone i found at burlingto by declassified lot 13 im not a good judge on how close something is but if you smell it you say ah that smells like another 13 i sprayed it on my hand to se what it smelled like while in burlingtoon my lunch break , at the end of work avbing had watched my hands once or twice it still was more than a skin scent , and that was 5 hours later not bad for a 12,99 100ml i went back to burlington and bought it ,”
2/5 ProjectionUnique“Another 13 is a strange one. Some days it feels strong, some days it feels like a skin scent. And each time I wear it it smells slightly different”
