Another 13 - 4

Name: Another 13 - 4 Eau de Parfum
Brand: The Essence Vault

The Essence Vault Another 13 - 4 is an Eau de Parfum. Another 13 - 4 opens with Bergamot and Pear, settles into a heart of Oakmoss, Jasmine, and Ambroxan, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambrette. The Essence Vault's Another 13 - 4 carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

No. 4 chases the same 'skin but better' ambroxan trick that made Le Labo's Another 13 a cult favourite, opening with a similar pear-and-citrus brightness before settling into a musky drydown. It is a simpler build than the original - the layered synthetics are flattened into one loud musk note, and the hours-long radiance of Another 13 fades noticeably sooner. Still close enough for the idea at 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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Fall

A clean, musky skin scent with a bright fruity opening suits mild-to-warm weather best; it has little of the richness needed to stand out in cold-weather layering.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Low projection and a clean, inoffensive musk profile make this an easy office and daytime scent, though it lacks the presence for formal occasions.

About

The Essence Vault's No. 4 is built around the same ambroxan-forward idea that made Le Labo's Another 13 famous: a synthetic musk note pushed to the front of the composition rather than buried in the base. The dupe opens with a bright, slightly sharper burst of pear and citrus than the original's more restrained fruit accord, before moving into a jasmine-and-moss heart that gestures at the designer's sheer, 'magazine-page' florals without quite matching their transparency. The base leans on ambrette seed and musk for a clean, intimate finish. Where it diverges most is texture and staying power - Another 13 is prized for a complex, almost animalic warmth that develops for hours on skin, while No. 4 reads flatter and noticeably louder in the first half hour before settling into a simpler, shorter-lived musk. It still delivers the core appeal of a modern, gender-neutral clean scent that works from office to evening, just without the original's depth or longevity.
