Shine brightly with Creed Delphinus, a universal woody amber perfume inspired by a vibrant constellation in the cosmic sky that once guided travellers, artists and dreamers alike. Smoky swirls of resinous incense, enveloped in the luminous aura of black pepper and pink pepper, set a captivating tone from the start, while almond, heliotrope and orchid combine, casting sparks of light into the darkness.
Opulent orris, the blue gold of perfumery, glimmers like precious stardust, before intertwining with sensual patchouli, honeyed tonka bean and leathery Bourbon vanilla, evoking the inviting warmth of a starlit night.
Head Notes: Black Pepper, Incense, Almond, Pink Pepper
