Creed Delphinus in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Opens with nutty almond and a quiet smoky touch. Powdery orris comes through in the middle, soft and sweet, and it settles into a smooth bourbon vanilla base with a hint of leather.

How it wears

Wearers are split between moderate and long-lasting wear, and most find projection moderate, so it sits at a friendly distance.

When to wear it

Autumn is the top season with winter next, and wearers pick it at night first and in the evening second. Work is also mentioned.

Who it suits

Suits someone who likes soft, powdery sweetness with a nutty edge. Men and women both wear it, and its moderate projection makes it easy company.
