ALT. Fragrances Simply Another
Brand: ALT. Fragrances
Unisex · Extrait · £49
Inspired by Le Labo Another 13.
Description
Simply Another is ALT. Fragrances' comparison to Le Labo Another 13, the ambrette and musk unisex release that became a quiet luxury signature scent for a generation of wearers who wanted something recognisable only to those who already knew it. Product Overview Simply Another is sold direct from ALT. Fragrances at $49/£49, placing it among the brand's higher priced releases alongside its other niche unisex comparisons. It carries around 750 reviews on ALT.'s own site. No individual launch date is published, so no release year is recorded here. Scent Profile Ambrette and pear open the fragrance with a soft, slightly powdery fruitiness rather than a citrus lift, close to Another 13's own understated opening. The heart brings amyl salicylate and jasmine together, amyl salicylate being the same soapy, slightly floral synthetic that gives the original its distinctive clean skin like quality. The base settles into Iso E Super, ambergris, musk and Helvetolide, the exact cluster of modern woody musk synthetics that made Another 13 famous for smelling expensive without smelling like a traditional perfume. Technical Structure and Development The development runs soft powdery fruit to soapy floral heart to clean woody musk base, tracking Another 13's own ambrette, amyl salicylate and Iso E Super Ambroxan structure closely, a genuinely technical match given how synthetic heavy and specific the original's formula is known to be. Performance Sold at Eau de Parfum strength, positioned by ALT. as long lasting, consistent with the brand's wider claims across the range. Wear Scenarios - Everyday signature scent wear given the unisex, skin close profile - Office and daytime professional settings - Layering base given the clean musky character - Anyone wanting the Another 13 profile without Le Labo's pricing Scent Family Positioning Simply Another sits in the woody musk family, the same lane Another 13 has occupied as one of Le Labo's most quietly influential releases since it moved from a niche curiosity to a widely recognised signature scent. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Sold directly and explicitly as inspired by Another 13 across ALT.'s own site and its retail partners. Because Another 13 relies on a specific, recognisable synthetic accord rather than natural florals or fruits, it's a structure that's harder to fake convincingly than most designer comparisons, making the note level accuracy here more meaningful than usual. Flankers and Variations No confirmed additional Simply Another specific flankers within ALT.'s current catalogue. Market and Community Reception With around 750 on site reviews, Simply Another performs solidly within ALT.'s higher priced niche unisex tier. Another 13 itself has a genuinely deep independent fragrance community following given its status as a modern niche icon, but that discussion centres on the Le Labo original rather than ALT.'s interpretation specifically, ALT.'s own visible reception for this release stays within its usual pattern of on site reviews and social discovery rather than crossing into that wider community conversation.

Atlas Insight
Why It Stands Out
Simply Another delivers a precise mimicry of the airy, skin-like quality of its inspiration. It captures the modern synthetic musk profile perfectly, using amyl salicylate to create that unique, clean, and slightly soapy aura.
Who Should Buy It
Those seeking a minimalist, signature-style fragrance for office or daily wear. It is ideal for individuals who want an understated, non-traditional scent that smells like high-end, expensive synthetics rather than perfume.
Who Should Skip It
If you are looking for a loud or attention-grabbing fragrance, this is not the one. It is intentionally subtle, and those expecting significant projection will find it underwhelming for the price point of an extrait.
Compared With the Original
Compared with Le Labo Another 13, Simply Another mimics the specific synthetic musk architecture quite faithfully. It avoids the heavy floral sweetness of conventional scents, focusing instead on the powdery, woody, and soapy nuances.
Best Alternative If This Isn't for You
If you want a clean, skin-like musk without the modest projection, Afnan Pure Musk is the natural next step. It moves into airy, soapy territory, emphasizing soft floral freshness and white musk rather than the pear and ambrette of the original.
