La Manufacture Admirabilis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Nathalie Koobus. Admirabilis opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. La Manufacture's Admirabilis carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a smooth operator, masterfully blending the bright with the balsamic. Some find it a versatile 'Master of All', while others get a bit of an old-school soapy vibe. It's a complex, luminous scent that truly stands apart.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Admirabilis opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lemon, mandarin, and bergamot, underscored by green violet leaf. This citrus freshness quickly melds into a warm, spicy heart of clove and cedar, with an earthy hint of cypriol. The drydown reveals a rich, ambered warmth, with deep labdanum, smoky incense, and sweet balsamic resins, grounded by vetiver and patchouli.
