Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Delphinus EDP
This is a seriously polarising one. Some reckon it's a classy, modern masterpiece, a sweet and smoky head-turner. Others? A cloying, chemical mess that smells like medicinal cherry or a glorified air freshener. Definitely try before you buy, especially given that price tag.

Our Verdict - No 120 Delphinus Extrait
Creed's Delphinus is a smooth, luminous woody amber named for the constellation, and this dupe follows its almond-incense opening and powdery orris heart closely - the leathery, vanilla-tonka base lands well, just without quite Creed's polish.

Season and Occasion Fit

Delphinus

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While some find it good for the office, its moderate to strong projection and luxurious, sweet profile make it better suited for dates and formal events. Many reviews lean towards 'sundown scent' and 'special occasions', suggesting it's too much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.

No 120 Delphinus

Seasons

Also Works:
Autumn Winter

A warm, powdery woody amber that suits cooler weather and evening wear best.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Smooth and sophisticated enough for formal settings and dates, with enough polish for office wear too.
