So, I was a little hesitant about this one based on a couple of elements I heard in some reviews:
a) It has Iris (I'm not an Iris fan)
b) It's unisex leaning feminine
I became a Creed fan and I still don't know why as I find many Creeds to be overrated or plain lackluster and yet I'm a Creed completionist. I really enjoyed Centaurus but it doesn't feel like a Creed, it's something very different from anything I tried from the house which is good but strange. Delphinus is similar to that, it goes on a different direction and that feels out of place, like not a real Creed but you're glad to get a Creed that performs on different occasions.
I get why they say Delphinus is unisex or even feminine, it's soft, smooth and bit more delicate than your average men scents. I get mainly vanilla and amber and instead of Iris I get Orris (which slightly earthier and not as feminine to me) but there also is some smokiness that gives it a little more masculinity. In the end Delphinus is a very nice fragrance that can be equally worn by men and women, with very solid performance and will certainly turn some heads just not worth the retail price.
