​Both inspired by the enigmatic energy and mystical wonder of spellbinding stars in the cosmic sky, Centaurus and Delphinus each illuminate the senses in their own way, taking the wearer on a unique star-powered olfactive journey. Read on to shed light on their distinctive qualities to find an amber creation tailored to you. 

Centaurus vs. Delphinus

The Inspiration​

The two newest ambery creations from The House of Creed were masterfully crafted to embody the brightest of stars. ​


Centaurus draws inspiration from the legendary Centaurus constellation, one of the largest in the night sky. Bottling the intense radiance of its vibrant stars and capturing the unbridled magnitude of wider space, Centaurus blazes brightly with a bold blend of beaming ingredients. ​


Delphinus was crafted as an olfactive ode to the Delphinus constellation, a smaller collection of stars adorning the northern sky that once guided voyagers, artists and dreamers alike. Inspired by its luminous magnificence, this stellar creation shines like stardust. 

Fragrance Profile And Ingredients​

Centaurus and Delphinus are two statement fragrances with a similar projection, richness, complexity and silage. They are equally classified as woody amber perfumes, both masterfully balancing enveloping woods, warming spices and hints of honeyed sweetness with the same anchoring presence of smoky gourmand Bourbon vanilla. However, each fragrance radiates a different energy from its own exploration of amber textures. ​


Centaurus is a perfume powerhouse in a bottle. Burning bright with tobacco tinged with fiery pink pepper, cardamom and cinnamon, it takes the wearer on an exhilarating starlit ride through layers of voluptuous sandalwood and potent patchouli to the decadent depths of dark honeyed tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla at its base. Incandescent and addictive, this creation captures the essence of one of the brightest constellations for a bold woody amber fragrance that is out of this world. ​


Delphinus’s woody amber accents shine brightly. Smoky swirls of resinous incense envelope the warmth and luminosity brought by black pepper and pink pepper. Sweet almond, heliotrope and orchid unite, casting sparks of light into the darkness, while a powdery veil of opulent orris – the blue gold of perfumery – glimmers like precious stardust. Alluring amberwood, supple leathers and velvety Bourbon vanilla enrich the composition, leaving a warming glow reminiscent of distant stars. ​
