Delphinus by Creed opens with almond and incense, brightened by pink and black pepper into something warm rather than sharp. Orris, heliotrope and orchid make up a soft, powdery heart, closer to iris than to any bright flower. The base is rich: bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, leather, amberwood and patchouli, building a nutty, ambery warmth that leans sweet rather than dry. First out in 2024, it wears equally well on men and women who want a vanilla-and-amber scent with some grip from the leather. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, mostly in the evening and after dark. Longevity leans long-lasting in the community vote. Most wearers call the sillage moderate. A 3ml decant is a good way to spend a few dark evenings with it first.

The community verdict
Almond, incense and pink pepper open Delphinus before powdery orris comes through, followed by a soft, sweet Bourbon vanilla base. Staying power divides opinion between moderate and long-lasting, while most find its projection moderate. It feels at home on autumn nights, with winter and evenings also working well.

More from Creed
Creed dates its story to 1760, and its perfumes still share a bright, tailored style that reads as effortless rather than loud. Citrus and bergamot open most of them, then ambergris, musk and sandalwood give a clean, smooth finish. Aventus is the name people ask about first: fruity and sweet up top, dry and woody underneath. Green Irish Tweed goes the other way, cool and green with iris and violet. Silver Mountain Water feels as crisp as a winter morning, and Virgin Island Water adds coconut for holidays. Olivier Creed and Pierre Bourdon are among the perfumers credited on the range here.
