About the formula
Description
I'm not sure if this accord mimicks the effects of a captive musk blend, or whether this whole musk accord is an internal base at Le Labo. Because Another 13's internal Le Labo formula contains only 13 lines as the name suggests. This musk accord alone is 11 lines. Other things that surprised me in this formula were a relatively low dose of Ambrox (2.5%) and Iso-E Super (6%), which are famously advertised as notes. Amber Core is the perfume's main woody-amber building block instead (20%). The formula also contains multiple superambers. No naturals are listed. I'm lacking some of the ingredients here and the accord seems pretty intricate with its 11 different musks. If someone has all the listed ingredients, I wonder how much this accord alone resembles Another 13? The fragrance is pretty much this accord + Amber Core + Hedione + salicylates + Iso-E/Ambrox + superambers!
This is Le Labo's Another 13 musk accord according to a GCMS reconstruction. It makes up a quarter of the fragrance compound by weight:
