SOTD: Layering - Another 13 and Flamango

Nov '25 (edited) • SOTD 🍊

I’m not typically a layering guy, I like to enjoy fragrances individually and I simply have too many now to enjoy everything on its own as often as I want, let alone layered. Plus, if the combo doesn’t work it can feel like putting ketchup on caviar. However, I’ve been looking for a way to enjoy Le Labo Another 13 more than I do on its own. I have a friend that swears by this combo, so I tried it before hitting the gym. One spray of Another 13 on each arm, followed by a full pressurized spray of Third Eye Flamango on each side.

That crisp, inky magazine-paper facet in Another 13… you know, the one that smells like fresh Vogue straight from the mailbox, gets absolutely electrified by Flamango’s bright citrus-mango blast. It’s like someone took a neon yellow highlighter and streaked it across glossy pages: the papery dryness stays, but now it’s dripping with juicy, mouth-watering mango and a squeeze of lemon and grapefruit. Cool ink on the paper, bright citrus, no clash.

At the gym it was lethal. Mid workout, the combo morphed into a salty musky skin and citrus cocktail dripping down frosted metal. I kept pulling wafts of it while working up a full sweat. It lasted the full workout with projection just right; quiet until someone gets into your space, then BAM, mango ambush.

If you’ve got Another 13 sitting there smelling like expensive paper, do yourself a favor and let Flamango scribble all over it. Glossy magazine pages soaked in electric mango-citrus. Gym compliments, 40% of the time every time, guaranteed.
