Best Le Labo Another 13 Dupes

Best overall dupe: Dossier – Musky Aldehydes — ~65% match, 6-8 hour longevity, $29. Closest on the ambroxan-musk "skin scent" base; misses the orange blossom brightness up top.

Le Labo Another 13 (2013) is the fragrance most responsible for popularizing the modern "clean girl" ambroxan-musk category — orange blossom and jasmine soften into a warm, skin-like musk base with heavy ambroxan and cedar. It retails around $250 for 100ml, which makes it one of the most heavily discussed "worth cloning" fragrances of the last decade, even if truly identical ambroxan replication is hard to pull off cheaply.
