What does Delphinus smell like?
It opens with frankincense, black pepper, pink pepper and almond, a spicy and slightly dry start. In the heart, orris butter, orchid and heliotrope push it toward a powdery, floral side. Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean carry the sweetness at the base, while amberwood, patchouli and leathery notes give it a woody, leathery footing.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with summer well behind. It leans toward evenings and nights out, and leisure wear is common too. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level. Scentiments Delphin and Lalique Satine have a close profile.
