Creed Delphinus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Delphinus opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, Almond, and Incense, settles into a heart of Iris, Heliotrope, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Creed's Delphinus carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best 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.

About

Delphinus opens with a vibrant, almost cherry-like almond sweetness, spiced up by pepper and a hint of incense. As it settles, a powdery iris and heliotrope emerge, blending with a smooth vanilla and tonka. The dry down introduces a subtle, buttery leather and amberwood, grounding the sweetness with a refined creaminess and a touch of earthiness from patchouli, despite some finding it too chemical or linear.
