Community Sentiment Pulse — Another 13
Mixed99 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
7.2
/10
Another 13 is a polarizing niche fragrance that generates strong loyalty from admirers who find it intoxicating and compliment-worthy, though its unusual profile and notorious nose blindness effect make it divisive and unpredictable across different skin chemistries. The premium price and heavy reliance on Iso E Super create a 'love it or hate it' situation where some experience the intended clean musk while others detect sour, alcohol, or unpleasant bodily notes.
Positive
- Highly addictive and compliment-inducing scent that people notice
- Unique papery/magazine-inspired clean musk profile that's distinctive
- Excellent longevity and performance for the price per ml
- Creates an intoxicating 'your skin but better' effect
Negative
- Extreme nose blindness due to high Iso E Super content makes it hard to smell on yourself
- Highly divisive scent profile with polarizing interpretations across skin chemistry
- Premium price point ($190-300+) with no discount alternatives that capture it faithfully
- Some experience unpleasant sour, alcohol, or overly musky notes
