Making its debut in 2010, Le Labo 13 strikes the perfect balance of being a commanding scent that doesn't overpower. Featuring top notes of citrus, apple and pear that blend seamlessly with middle notes like moss and jasmine, and base notes of Iso E super and ambrettolide, the final result is a spicy, fruit-like fragrance that can be worn at any time of the day. Or as one 5-star shopper writes, "Upon first spray, you can catch a hint of jasmine and pear, then it quickly settles into clean, crisp white woods, and an almost metallic sharpness."
