We're about to smell *so* expensive thanks to these Le Labo Another 13 dupes...

When it comes to the best perfumes, Another 13 often occupies a top spot. But with such high acclaim also comes an equally high price point—hence why we've rolled up our sleeves and scoured the web for some comparable Le Labo Another 13 dupes.

Really, just the information that Another 13 is Paul Mescal's signature cologne alone, was enough to spark our search for replicas of the fabled 'Quiet Luxury' perfume. But of course, its chic-smelling reputation and the small matter of its $230 price tag were also pretty big factors.

Thankfully, we have found a few scents that hold up to the iconic skin scent, plus a few other, similarly musky perfumes that will fill that particular hole in your arsenal—for less than the OG...

The best Le Labo Another 13 dupes

So, first thing's first, what does Another 13 smell like? Well, much like Niall Horan's cologne go-to, Santal 33 (yes, we've also found some Le Labo Santal 33 dupes for ya!), Another 13 is very warm and musky.

Its perfume notes include; jasmine, ambroxyde—a synthetic animal musk—and moss, which when spritzed onto the skin, leaves behind a truly hypnotizing and unique aroma.

Alas though, as dreamy as it sounds it's definitely an investment buy, costing $230 for 1.7 fluid ounces, but for those who can't swing that on a fragrance—no matter how darn good it's said to smell—there are a few alternatives to be found...

One being the Floral Street Arizona Bloom Eau de Parfum, which in comparison costs  $89 for the same amount. 

With its blend of coconut, jasmine and salted musks, TikToker @mary_hayes says once it's dried down, it smells exactly like Another 13, adding: "The DNA of these two perfumes is identical."

The actual perfume reviews tell a similar story, with one shopper writing: "If you love Le Labo Another 13, I highly recommend. I have both fragrances and I cannot tell them apart."

Another close swap for the scent is said to be Muse by Who Is Elijah, with TikToker @sniffinwithsteph saying: "I smell it and I'm like oh, this is Another 13." Muse, features a similar blend of warm florals, with notes of jasmine, ambergris, ambroxan, musk, amber and moss—so yeah, we'd say on paper that's pretty close!

As a popular skin scent though, there are a few other scents to consider also, that also deliver similar, signature vibes...

Another 13 can also be considered as a perfume like Glossier You, with its musky notes that offer that intimate, 'your scent but better' feel. It's not obvious what you're wearing exactly, which is very appealing for those who are looking for more of a unique, everyday scent.
