I just bought my first bottle of Creed Delphinus today. Just walking out of the store, I received so many compliments. Not to mention my husband when I got home. I've always been a fan of Creed fragrances. I own a few bottles but Delphinus is definitely the best, warm fragrance. Another item to check on my X-mas list.
Congratulations! It’s an amazing perfume! I also got it first. (And then couldn’t resist and also got Centaurus - as a collector one can always find a reason to get one more bottle 😄) I totally agree with you, it’s a compliment getter that is both very pleasant, easy to wear, and unique enough not to draw immediate comparisons with anything. Definitely a winner for Creed!
I like this channel. One of the best female fragrance review channels that is serious, professional and no check-me-out kind of attitude we see with most popular female fragrance review channels. Kudos!
Hi! Ohhh thank you so much for your comment! This is exactly what I am aiming to do - talk about the perfume and share my knowledge (and passion) for the scents and olfactory culture (and also exasperation with a lot of what's going on in the industry). Really happy you think I'm on the right track!
Your breakdown was really complete. I got samples of these with the bottle of Viking I picked up. They're both really good. Delphinus, I thought was a bit feminine for me but I'll definitely use the sample at some point.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you appreciate the video! I like them both too. And being a girl, I indeed went for Delphinus first - the tonka-cherry vibes feel softer. Felt like I need Centaurus too though :)
Great breakdown, been eyeing both these fragrances since my ads have been flooded. I'm looking forward to more fragrance break downs like this. Very thorough.
Awww, thank you so much for your kind feedback! I hope you will enjoy the scents! Curious to know what you’ll think about them and which one you’ll prefer, once you’ve tried them!
@@CosmetiquaMagazine Hi again! Thank you for your kind curiosity 😉🙂. I'm already prepared to share my thoughts... Still, I was surprised while trying them - I like this 'surprise' factor. It was a pleasent surprise! I do not see any connections to Grand Soir (which I truly love and admire) in my opinion none of them shares any resemblence. Starting with Centaurus : It brought me the 'African Leather' Memo vibes. Sort of Coca Cola smell. Mixed with tobacco it is dark and really sexy. I found this fragrance more masculine but it could be a fantastic woman date night fragrance too, because of it's seductiveness of the naughty spicy character. I love the Tobacco drydown. It is amazing. Delphinius. At first I felt a bit medicinal smell or like from powdery drops. After a short while the beauty of Iris and leather started developing and playing an interesting game. The impression is mostly fruity-powdery-leathery with a tiny bit of sharpness. Very easy going but intriguing at the same time. It has a feminine soul I would say. The fruity experience to me is not only cherry but I feel the notes of an apple/pear tart. Also the powdery almond atmosphere resembles violets a lot..! Here are two connections. At first, very strongly it resembles Tendre Nuit by Isabey...(which I was using some time ago and have a strong 'deja vu' now) but Delphinius is way more optimistic and interesting with the fruity - leather combo. Another fragrance which came to my mind is Heliotrope Gingembre by Fragonard. The fruity - powdery contrasts are similar. All in all I didn't fell in love with any of them but I do value their quality and the atmosphere they create! This just isn't my cup of tea. For the Fall/Winter I made my choice. It will be Cappadocia by Memo. Wishing you a beautiful Autumn and many outstanding fragrance discoveries.
Hi! Wow! Thank you for getting back to me about them in such detail! Really appreciate it! It's interesting how everybody makes their own connections with scents! I'll need to resmell the ones you mention! To be honest, I'm all over the place for the coming season. So many perfumes that I like. Am just coming back from TFWA in Cannes where, among other things, I've been at the launch of the new Xerjoff XV, which to my surprise I enjoy a lot (a fresh fruity floral based on the champagne by the same name (XV)). Generally, a lot of fruity-florals coming our way in winter. And normally I wouldn't be in the mood, but this time there is something very vivacious about them that makes me want to try them even in the colder season. Vivi by Comporta for example. In love with Comporta's Dapper too (a genius leather perfume that was first released as super limited not-for-sale Porsche edition). Even Torino 24 smells kinda awesome (although maybe it's the Cannes atmosphere). The super stylish Kerylos from L'Objet, two surprising and original releases from Oman Luxury, the Essences from Amouage.... Totally addictive Royale Bourbon from Plume Imprission... a lot of good stuff that I'm excited about. Will try to post timely reviews of them.
@@CosmetiquaMagazine Oh what a celebration to the senses it must have been!!! 🥰 Glad you were given the chance to enjoy many new releases! Thank you for describing some of them in particular, maybe I will come across one day... Fruity-leathery is definitely vivacious, I agree! I'm looking for powdery-comforting scent for Winter, my skin chemistry doesn't respond to such fragrances easily... Maybe the special one will come my way! 😉
Hm... no promises, of course, as things can feel very different on skin from person to person, but maybe it's worth trying Mono Cashemere from L'Orchestre Parfum (it's new, released last month). It's a very soft, powdery iris-y scent, but with the addition of cashmeran, which makes it different than the "usual" powdery fragrances, kind of woodier and not sweet. Maybe it's something that could work.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I‘m still new to publishing on RUclips, so it means a world to me! And Delphinus was my first pick from the new duo too!
Your reviews are needed - we need a beautiful, highly educated, classy, and knowledgeable lady to help us navigate thru the world of perfumes... especially CREED - especially because they are so expensive! Mistakes are costly!! I just subbed to your instagram as well. I am happy I will be here with you as your presence grows on this platform.
@@JLOrenstein OMG, I want to reach across the screen and hug you! You just made my day :-) So happy you find my contribution to the perfume world useful! And you are so right, there are so many really expensive fragrances out there that all look good and it's so easy to get lost in the choice. I am fortunate to be working covering the industry for quite some time now, and so I have built a mental map of the landscape for myself to help me navigate the market and hopefully avoid mistakes. And I also feel very privileged to know many people in the industry who I can turn to for help if I have questions. But as a consumer, especially somebody who is just starting to get interested in perfume, I don't know what I would do. I'd probably end up buying a lot of stuff I don't use and decide perfume is just not for me, because it's too complicated. So if I can share some of my knowledge with the world, I'm very happy. Btw, if you are ever in Berlin, let me know. Would love to show you around our perfume scene, as there is quite a vibrant one here, despite Berlin not being known as a perfume capital.
Great review. Royal Oud was my #1 Creed. After getting both of these, I’d honestly push Royal Oud to #3. I personally think Naxos gets better as it drys down. Definitely not as good as Centaurus.
Hi! Royal Oud is such a classy perfume, totally get why you like it! Not much of an oud wearer myself (although I occasionally do, but I have to be in the mood for it), these two are the first Creeds I bought because I like them and intend to wear them, not only to post a review.
Centaurus turned too masculine for me in the dry down. I own better spicy scents by Roja and prefer Grand Soir. I found Delphinus to be an uninspired cheap smelling fragrance. I own several Creed scents, but these were an easy pass. I bought Blonde Amber by CC instead.
Yeah, between the two Centaurus is a bit more masculine. What are your favorite Rojas? I feel that while Grad Soir is very classy, it’s too old-school for me. It’s a real amber classic. I love Delphinus though. Just the right amount of cherry for me to be interesting

I wouldn’t say that Naxos and Centaurus are similar, rather it smells alot like Ivory Route.
Oh, thanks! Need to smell those two together!
Centaurus turned too masculine for me in the dry down. I own better spicy scents by Roja and prefer Grand Soir. I found Delphinus to be an uninspired cheap smelling fragrance. I own several Creed scents, but these were an easy pass. I bought Blonde Amber by CC instead.
