The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Creed, Delphinus is a modern Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the warmth of vanilla and almond with powdery, ambery depths. The composition opens with almond and pink pepper before leading into an intricate heart of orris, heliotrope, and orchid. The base notes of bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, leather, amberwood, and patchouli create a rich blend that is both comforting and sophisticated. Delphinus stands as a proof of Creed's legacy of blending traditional elements with contemporary flair.
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points. The almond and pink pepper top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the fragrance time to develop into its heart and base notes for a full experience. Best worn in cooler weather when the warmth of the vanilla and amberwood is most inviting.
