Another 13

Le Labo · 2010

The one people mean by clean skin musk or smells like money on TikTok.

Another 13 is built around a synthetic, almost metallic musk and ambroxan base, softened by apple and jasmine at the top. It smells more like warm, clean skin than a traditional perfume, which made it a favourite for layering and one of the most copied skin scents of the last decade.

$8–100Parfum
Shares the musk and jasmine at the centre of Another 13, but opens on bergamot and melon rather than apple, so it reads fresher and less skin-warm.

Ambrette and jasmine sit over sandalwone and tonka the way they do in Another 13, but yuzu and cedrat up top make it citrus-bright rather than fruit-soft.

Seance Perfumes
$32–125EDP
A plain musk, jasmine and amber build with almost nothing else, close to Another 13's minimalism, but warmer and ambery rather than metallic clean.

$40–299Attar
Musk paired directly with apple, the same fruit-on-musk idea as Another 13, but it is an attar oil with honey and sandalwood, sitting closer to skin and more animalic.

$9–200
Carries jasmine, moss and musk together, the fullest note overlap on this list, but patchouli and vetiver push it toward a green, earthy chypre rather than a clean skin musk.
