Perfume Parlour Extra XIII is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Extra XIII opens with Amyl Salicylate and Iso E Super, settles into a heart of Musk and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Ambrette and Pear. Perfume Parlour's Extra XIII carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Extra XIII chases Le Labo Another 13's cult clean-musk signature: the airy Iso E Super and ambroxan-style ambergris carry that famous transparent skin-musk, with a juicy pear lift on top. Since the original is itself simple, light and linear, the dupe loses little, reading slightly flatter and fading sooner, but as a budget ambroxan-musk it delivers the inoffensive, versatile character for a fraction of the price.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Extra XIII opens on a soft, slightly fruity shimmer of amyl salicylate and pear over a big dose of Iso E Super, instantly recalling Le Labo Another 13's airy, almost metallic freshness. The heart is all clean musk and ambergris-style warmth, the transparent ambroxan accord that made the original a phenomenon, rounded by powdery ambrette in the drydown. On skin it wears as a refined, versatile clean-musk, light and skin-like and easy in any setting. Because Another 13 is famously minimal and linear, the dupe's divergence is small, mostly a slightly cruder synthetic edge and quicker fade, with projection staying close. Longevity is the main compromise against the original's sometimes-marathon wear, but for office days, casual outings and daytime dates it offers a faithful, affordable take on a modern minimalist favourite.
