The drydown is where Another 13 truly shines, becoming an indistinguishable part of the wearer's natural scent - a woody, musky, slightly

Apply sparingly - this fragrance develops best with body heat. The magic happens when you forget you're wearing it, only to catch mysterious whiffs of something wonderful throughout the day. Reapplies beautifully due to its linear nature.
