Short answer: Le Labo Another 13 works as a musky skin-scent base under almost anything; it layers best with pear, apple and jasmine florals such as Bond No. 9 Madison Avenue, Byredo Inflorescence or Le Labo Jasmin 17. Spray Another 13 first so its ambroxan-musk extends the other scent.
Le Labo Another 13 layers best when one fragrance leads and the other has a clear supporting job: brightness, softness, texture, or depth. Start on clean, moisturized skin and let the first layer settle for 20–30 seconds before the second.
what to layer with Another 13: how to build a balanced combination
Shared notes to lean into: pear, apple, jasmine, moss, ambrette, ambroxan and clean musks.
Contrasting notes to use carefully: loud salty aquatics and very heavy gourmands (Orto Parisi Megamare and Xerjoff Tony Iommi score 30–34%), which drown out its subtle musks.
Spray order, season, and occasion
Apply the denser or longer-lasting fragrance first, then use the brighter fragrance as the top layer. Keep the total application moderate—usually three sprays combined—so the blend can develop without becoming overwhelming.
Best season: all year, the office, daytime and close-up evenings. Test the ratio on skin before wearing it for a long day, a date, or a close indoor setting.
