MEET CENTAURUS AND DELPHINUS, the House of Creed’s new starry Amber Duo, which is set to launch this month. Focusing on the classic allure of amber, the pair offers woody and leathery notes which come together in harmony, presenting two sophisticated fragrances with a touch of seduction.
With a storied history in the realm of fragrances — the house was established in 1760 – quality is at the heart of Creed, and with all its scents, the Maison has sourced the finest raw materials, from rare spices to precious woods, resins, and balms. They’ve also been finished with unique bottles to reflect the exclusive, and luxurious nature of the fragrances.
Delphinus by House of Creed
The clues are in the names as Creed looked to the constellation for inspiration, and as the brand says, “captures the interplay of darkness and light.” Delphinus, named after the constellation, located in the northern sky opens with warm smoky incense, pepper and almond for sweetness, and develops into floral orchid notes, anchored by a base of patchouli, vanilla and rich leather.
Centaurus by House of Creed
Then there’s Centaurus, which draws influence from one of the largest constellations in the sky and Chiron of Greek mythology, with tobacco, fiery pink pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom. The heart reveals sandalwood and the delicate hues of jasmine, alongside heliotrope, the flower that follows the sun. Designed to be a sensual scent, it dons a woody-amber backdrop, featuring patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean, running alongside tolu balsam and benzoin.
