https://www.scento.com/blog/best-dupes-cheaper-picks

September 17, 2026 · Updated Oct 26, 2026

**You can get the *[Another 13](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Labo)* idea for about *€27,00 to €45,00* instead of roughly *€197,80 to €212,00* for 50 ml in Germany.** I’d split these 9 picks into three groups: **closest smell**, **best low-price daily wear**, and **stronger performers**. If you want the short answer, I’d look first at **[Montagne](https://www.montagneparfums.com/) Another 14**, **[ALT](https://altfragrances.com/) Simply Another**, and **Oakcha Parallel**.

Here’s the quick read:

- **Closest overall style:** Montagne Another 14, ALT Simply Another
- **Best lower-cost daily pick:** Oakcha Parallel
- **Also sold as inspired by Another 13:** The Dua Brand Another 13 Shades, Alexandria Fragrances Other 13 (both showed as sold out at the maker on 25 October 2026)
- **Sold by its maker as inspired by Another 13: ALT Simply Another**
- **If you want oil instead of spray:** [Oil Perfumery](https://us.oilperfumery.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop8dYp4VCfEBr_P3yEkAymSFOXQyjPVfAwpfLYssdZTyVM-y_Us) Another 13 Impression
- **Not a [Santal 33](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santal_33) swap:** all 9 stay in the clean musk/ambroxan lane, not the woody leather-sandalwood lane

Another 13 is known for **soft projection** and **long wear**, often around **6 to 12+ hours**, depending on skin and clothing. Most dupes here cost about **75 % to 85 % less**, but the trade-off is usually in the opening, texture, or how close they stay to skin.

## What is the best Another 13 dupe?

The guide points first to Montagne Another 14 and ALT Simply Another as the closest overall style, with Oakcha Parallel as the best lower-cost daily pick. All nine stay in the clean musk and ambroxan lane of Another 13, not the woody leather-sandalwood lane of Santal 33.

## 1. Oakcha Parallel

Oakcha sells Parallel as an extrait “inspired by Le Labo Another 13”, with pear, apple and citrus up top, ambrette, moss and jasmine in the heart, and Iso E Super, cetalox and helvetolide in the base. A mindbodygreen editor who has worn Another 13 for more than five years wrote that she “couldn’t believe how similar this perfume smelled to Another 13”.

Next: The Dua Brand Another 13 Shades, a fruitier take on the same clean-musk profile.

## 2. The Dua Brand Another 13 Shades

The Dua Brand sells Another 13 Shades as an extrait inspired by Another 13, with pear, apple and citruses up top, ambrette, amyl salicylate, moss and jasmine in the heart, and Iso E Super, cetalox, helvetolide and ambrettolide in the base. WhatScent magazine calls it the closest alternative to Another 13 and says wearers often describe it as very similar, with a slightly more herbal, pear-forward opening.

The blog 10fragrances.com also lists it as a pocket-friendly dupe and finds it a bit lighter and fruitier than the original. The Dua Brand lists it at $43.00 (was $60.00) for 34 ml, but it showed as sold out on 25 October 2026 (theduabrand.com).

Next: Alexandria Fragrances Other 13, which leans sweeter in the opening.

## 3. Alexandria Fragrances Other 13

Alexandria Fragrances sells Other 13 as “Inspired By Le Another 13”, with a pear and sweet brown sugar opening over ambergris and musk. The blog 10fragrances.com ranks it first among its Another 13 alternatives, and imixxperfumes.com lists it too, noting a sweeter opening than the original.

Next: **Montagne Another 14**, which takes a slightly different angle on the same musky-clean profile.

## 4. Montagne Another 14

**Montagne Another 14** stays in that clean-musky, skin-close lane, but it comes across a bit softer than Another 13. That’s the main give-and-take here: the first impression feels gentler.

The opening is softer and less metallic than Another 13. And that smoother feel sticks around into the dry-down too.

You can expect around **5 to 8 hours** of wear, though skin chemistry can affect both projection and longevity.

Next up: **ALT Simply Another**, which sits in the same clean-musky space.

## 5. [ALT](https://altfragrances.com/) Simply Another

ALT Simply Another leans into **strong projection** and **long wear**, while staying close to Another 13’s clean musk profile. Its edge is performance, not the opening.

The closest match shows up in the heart and base. Up top, it misses Another 13’s bright metallic lift, but the dry-down stays close. ALT Simply Another also projects more than the original - a trade-off some people will prefer.

Next: Twist Timeless No. 113, a full-size spray with the same listed notes.

## 6. Twist Timeless No. 113

Twist sells Timeless No. 113 as inspired by *Another 13*, with pear, apple and citrus up top, ambrette, amyl salicylate, moss and jasmine in the heart, and Iso E Super, cetalox, helvetolide and ambrettolide in the base. The comparison blog ScentClones ranks it fourth among its Another 13 dupes for its woody-musk balance and long wear, and the OLFx dupe guide lists it among its five Another 13 alternatives.

ScentClones finds it a little woodier than the closest clones. Twist lists it at **$49 for 100 ml** (twistperfumes.com, October 2026), and it showed as available when checked.

Next: Dossier Musky Another, a cleaner, more mineral take.

## 7. Dossier Musky Another

Dossier sells Musky Another as an eau de parfum inspired by *Another 13*, with aldehydes and ozonic notes up top, ambrette, jasmine and lily of the valley in the heart, and musks with woody, ambery and mineral notes in the base. The reviewer NubsFragrances, wearing a bottle Dossier sent, wrote that “the resemblance to Another 13 is seriously impressive”, and the database EauIndex lists it as an Another 13 dupe.

Its aldehydic, mineral opening is cleaner and less fruity than the original’s pear. Dossier lists it at **$49 for 50 ml** (dossier.co, checked 25 October 2026).

Next: Oil Perfumery, which turns the same idea into an oil.

## 8. [Oil Perfumery](https://us.oilperfumery.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop8dYp4VCfEBr_P3yEkAymSFOXQyjPVfAwpfLYssdZTyVM-y_Us) Another 13 Impression

Oil Perfumery stays close to the Another 13 scent profile: clean musk, ambroxan, and that pear-like freshness. The main shift isn’t the smell itself. It’s **how the fragrance wears on skin**.

Because it comes in an oil format, it sits closer and feels softer throughout the day. That makes it a good match for anyone who likes this style but wants something more discreet and less airy than a spray.

If you’d rather have a similar profile in spray form, the next pick moves back in that direction.

Next: **The Essence Vault Another 13 Inspired By**.

## 9. [The Essence Vault](https://www.theessencevault.co.uk/en-de) Another 13 Inspired By

The Essence Vault stays in the same clean, musky lane, with that pared-back skin-scent feel that sits close to the body from morning to evening.

It still wears close, but the stronger formula can throw a touch more than Another 13. So you get the same quiet mood, just with a bit more presence.

At about **€32,00–€45,00**, it cuts the price by roughly **€260,00 per bottle**. If this is the kind of scent you reach for all the time, that gap is hard to brush off.

Unlike Santal 33, this one stays clean, airy, and close to the skin. The next section looks at how that extra lift stacks up against scent accuracy and overall value.

The weak spot is the opening. It can miss the bright, sparkling lift that makes Another 13 feel so airy at first spray. That trade-off matters most when you compare wear, scent match, and price side by side.

## Scent, Wear and Value: How the Dupes Stack Up

Here’s the fast read: **scent match, wear, and price**.

All nine aim at *Another 13*, but they don’t all land in the same spot. Some get very close. Others lean more into the same mood than an exact match. What ties them together is that airy ambroxan-musk profile. They wear softly, sit close to the skin, and fit everyday use with ease.

So the main issue isn’t whether they follow the same style. It’s **how close they get** and **what you trade for the lower price**.

The clearest difference is cost. Most dupes sit around **€20,00 to €50,00**, while *Another 13* sells in Germany for about **€305,00 per 100 ml**. That means a saving of more than **€250,00** per bottle.

Set beside *Santal 33*, these scents go in a different direction. They’re quieter, cleaner, and more skin-like. *Santal 33* is woodier and louder, so if you want that soft musk effect that stays close, it’s easy to cross off.

| Criterion | What stands out |
| --- | --- |
| Scent profile | Clean ambroxan-musk |
| Projection | Soft, close wear |
| Value | Most dupes: €20,00–€50,00; Another 13: about €305,00/100 ml |
| Santal 33 comparison | Woodier and louder |

Next, the pros and cons make it clear where each dupe does well and where it falls short.

| **Dossier Musky Another** | Clean, airy musk; a reviewer found the resemblance impressive | Less pear in the opening | Fans of a cleaner, more mineral musk |

A quick note on the sources. **Montagne Another 14**, **ALT Simply Another**, **Oakcha Parallel**, **The Dua Brand Another 13 Shades**, **Alexandria Fragrances Other 13**, **Twist Timeless No. 113** and **Dossier Musky Another** are each sold by their maker as inspired by *Another 13*, and independent sources agree. **The Essence Vault Inspired By Another 13 – No. 4** also has sources tying it to *Another 13*. The new prices are US maker prices from October 2026, and none of these bottles is the original.

Next, the conclusion turns these trade-offs into the best overall pick.

## Conclusion

After looking at scent match, wear, and price, the choice comes down to three main use cases:

- **Closest clone hunters**: Start with **Montagne Another 14** and **ALT Simply Another**. These are the names most often pointed to as the closest overall DNA match to Another 13’s ambroxan-musk skin-scent effect, especially after maceration and a few hours on skin.
- **Budget-daily wearers**: **Oakcha Parallel** is the best lower-cost daily pick for office days and the commute, though reviewers split on how close it is.
- **Sold-out picks**: The Dua Brand Another 13 Shades and Alexandria Fragrances Other 13 showed as sold out at the makers on 25 October 2026, so check stock first.
- **Undecided buyers**: Buy a decant first. A small decant gives you time to test the original on your skin over several days before you commit to a full bottle or settle on a dupe.

If you want to try the benchmark before buying a dupe, start with a **2 ml**, **5 ml**, or **8 ml** [Another 13 decant](https://www.scento.com/perfumes/another-13-le-labo). A few wears usually make the decision a lot easier.

## FAQs

### is Another 13 long lasting

Another 13 is widely seen as a **skin-centric fragrance**. Its clean, second-skin musk profile usually stays close to the skin, and wear time can shift quite a bit based on your skin chemistry, body temperature, and hydration.

In many cases, it develops over **8 to 12 hours**, but the best way to tell how long it lasts on *you* is still a skin test.

### is it a skin scent

Yes. Another 13 is meant to sit close to the skin, more like a **second-skin scent** than a loud room-filler.

Like Santal 33, it stays intimate. You’re more likely to notice it up close than from across the room, with a soft trail rather than strong projection.
