If you love the cult-favorite Le Labo Another 13 but wish it lasted longer or cost less, this premium oil is your answer. We’ve carefully blended 98% of the same key molecules—ambroxan, jasmine, and pear—to recreate that iconic, skin-like scent. It’s concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just curious, this oil delivers the same magnetic, clean warmth without the luxury price tag.
Fragrance Notes
- Top: Bergamot, Pear
- Heart: Jasmine, Ambrette Seed, Moss
- Base: Ambroxan, Musk, Iso E Super
How It Performs
- Longevity: 6–8 hours on skin, longer on clothes (8–10 hours).
- Projection: Moderate sillage – sits close to skin for the first hour, then blooms into a soft, alluring trail.
- Versatility: Works year-round, but especially shines in cooler weather when the musky notes linger.
Best Times to Wear
- Occasions: Office, date nights, casual outings – ideal when you want a subtle, personal scent that doesn’t shout.
- Seasons: Fall and winter for warmth; spring for a fresh twist. Avoid extreme heat (oil can feel heavy).
- Layering: Apply on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) over unscented moisturiser for better hold.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 98% identical to Le Labo Another 13 | Not 100% – some may notice a slightly softer opening |
| Excellent value (approx. Rs. 1,500 for 10ml) | Oil format requires careful application (dab, don’t spray) |
| Longer lasting than the EDP (6–8 hrs vs 4–5 hrs) | Stronger base notes – may not suit those who prefer airy florals |
| Compact, travel-friendly glass rollerball | Can stain light fabrics if applied directly |
How It Compares to the Original
Both share the same ambroxan-driven core, but our oil uses a higher concentration of iso e super and musk to extend wear. The opening is a bit less fizzy (less pear) and the dry-down is slightly creamier. You’ll get the same “clean skin” effect that makes Another 13 so addictive. If you blind-test side-by-side, most people cannot tell the difference after 30 minutes.
What Customers Say
“I’ve worn the original for years. This oil is spot-on – same scent, but it stays on me all day. Half the price. No brainer.” – Priya, Mumbai
“Was nervous about a dupe, but this is incredibly close. My girlfriend thought I bought the real thing. Win!” – Rohan, Delhi
Any Questions?
Can I layer this with other perfumes?
Yes. Because it’s oil-based, it works great as a base. Top with a floral or citrus fragrance for a unique blend.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Our oil is IFRA compliant and free from phthalates. Still, do a patch test behind your ear – everyone’s chemistry differs.
How should I apply it?
Roll onto pulse points – wrists, neck, behind knees – and let it absorb for 30 seconds. Avoid rubbing, which breaks down the notes.
