The most wearable amber perfume comes from Creed

One statement is not enough here.
The house of Creed is currently surprising us to the fullest. Known for their fresh/spicy/fruity fragrances, they are now exploring completely new spheres, and in my opinion they hit the mark here.
Delphinus is a creation that will flatter most "sweet" fall/winter noses.
The fragrance has a relatively complex progression and at times is reminiscent of many great/proven fragrances in the same vein.

It starts creamy/gentle and slightly spicy. After about 5 minutes, the incense becomes present and gives me light Babycat "Le Vestiaire - Babycat | Yves Saint Laurent" vibes.
Then the vibes of Dior Homme Intense (2011) creep in through the iris butter.
The floral addition of heliotrope and orchid give the fragrance a delicate freshness (purple touch). Barely perceptible, but there.

It is amber-colored all the time. i have always found "amber" fragrances to be too sticky and oppressive. Not here.
It's a warm scent, but not artificially warm, and not too sweetly warm either.

I won't go into the base notes explicitly, just read through them and imagine them... in as natural and perfectly interwoven a way as you can! I know, it's hardly possible, because you probably unconsciously emphasize certain notes from experience and misinterpret the fragrance... so please test it yourself :)

All in all, everything just harmonizes so perfectly with each other and makes this "Amber" masterpiece seem so round, light, wearable and natural, as I have never experienced in "Amber" fragrances before.
