One Le Labo house, two opposite souls
VS
Santal 33
no price«Smoky sandalwood with leather and cardamom — a scent that wants to be spotted.»
Another 13
«Ambroxan and musk that read as 'your skin but better' — a quiet magnet with no words.»
Same house, not one shared note: Santal 33 builds an image out of smoky wood, Another 13 works a translucent musk up close. Reach for Santal 33 when you want to be recognized across the coffee shop; for Another 13 when you'd rather people drift closer without knowing why.

Another 13 slips anywhere — office to date; smoky Santal 33 can run too loud for a small room.

Zero overlap: Santal 33 stands on sandalwood, leather and papyrus, Another 13 on ambroxan, pear and Iso E Super — two different ideas of a signature Le Labo.
Another 13 arrived in 2010 and predicted the clean-musk craze, while Santal 33 a year later became the coffee-shop cliché.
Same luxury-niche label; the difference isn't the bottle's status but whether your choice shouts or whispers.
Unexpectedly, the quiet Another 13 is searched more — the loud reputation of Santal 33 doesn't make it the more wanted.
