NEW CREED AMBER UNIVERSE COLLECTION: CENTAURUS & DELPHINUS FRAGRANCE REVIEW | Worth the Hype?

[@RonnieMorgan-fw8qj]

Nice review. I bought em both. Royal Oud was my #1, but I’d honestly put these 2 above it. Out of the 2, I’d say I like Delphinus more. Longevity is top notch. I like this direction that Creed is going.

[@danathornsbury4641]

Im glad its just you doing the review your great didnt care for the creed rep butting in thanks again

[@mikewaite3746]

It's really cool I have a friend that works at the Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas. She was kind of enough to send me samples of both and I am currently trying it out trying to figure out which one to add to my collection. It's really cool if you get a good sales rep that works at a reputable department store you'll always be in the know on new stuff. Great analysis of both!

[@mikeymay15]

Great take, I bought Centaurus because I was excited for something different but the price is a little too ridiculous.

[@chillzoneyt1]

Creed has the best names for their fragrances

[@Robert-n7v]

I just bought centaurus yesterday. I had a sample and started wearing it in my uber and kept getting people saying “Wow your car smells so good “ I drive a Jag so I want it to smell fancy. I love it. Was about $560 from saks

[@Terry70-i9z]

Big Creed fan here. I can’t wait to sample these new fragrances. A little disappointed in the pricing but like everything it’s gone up. Especially when Creed use to list expensive Ambergris in the ingredients/notes but now seems to be replaced by I assume less expensive options like Amberwood or Ambroxan, I’d think the prices would come down as well

[@LuminousNightWorld]

Tried both of these at a John Lewis store here in the UK this morning. Both decent. Centaurus has the edge for me. Feels a bit like a more wearable red tobacco? Can see what you mean with the creation e/enigma comment. I wore that yesterday and it has that same rich, deep, classy vibe. Goes without saying the price is outrageous, but we know that by now 😅

[@dqyler]

In Ireland, a 100ml bottle is €330, which is about $365.... Don't understand why its so much more in America! Smelled and really enjoyed both

[@MechanicalTension]

Wow US retail is $545 but can be obtained at $100-200 cheaper through discount sites or reputable Facebook groups

[@bigduffone]

It’s due to import taxation. Thanks to our wonderful government

[@golfbuddy1969]

I sampled Centaurus today and I picked up on a BO note. It lasted for quite a while. It’s the same reason I don’t wear Virgin Island Water.

[@eauderica]

Oh interesting I’ve never smelled a BO note from Virgin island water!

[@2HankMoody3]

That's interesting VIW is pure pleasure, coconut - lime, the only creed i found unpleasant beyond bearable was EROLFA with its cat piss note.

[@WhiteRangerTP]

​@@2HankMoody3 what coconut? All i smell is lime

[@golfbuddy1969]

@@2HankMoody3 I don’t like worlds for that same reason. It is probably just my body chemistry.

[@smackd1870]

Delphinus is incredible. Indeed Modern and a fresh take for Creed b/c they have nothing like it. Amazing amazing scent especially for Iris lovers.

[@bobbybox3968]

I’m sorry but l can’t believe this is a genuine review. When these companies send you freebies like these you definitely can’t give any negatives of your off the mailing list . Be honest

[@eauderica]

I am ALWAYS honest about my opinion. I have trashed quite a few creed fragrances and still hold those opinions. My opinion is ALWAYS my own regardless of gifted status.

[@TxmmyBeats]

Am I tripping or does Creed Centaurus have a SLIGHT Naxos vibe to it? It reminds me of Naxos without the lavender 🤔

[@jofus01]

How much do you get paid to over hype fragrances?

[@NeuJynXproductions]

Enough to keep her looking young.

[@CamSloan33]

Idk wtf is wrong with yall lol these fragrances are good

[@salomon4443]

They’re actually really good

[@pocopico7409]

Great reviews, and you’re beautiful! 😊 Centaurus smells good initially, but as it develops, there’s a note that comes through that is extremely off-putting to me. To tell you the truth, it smells very herbal and resinous…almost a cannabis smell. It’s also overly strong, and I’m not sure where I could go to wear it in public. I don’t want people to think of me as being the “cologne guy” when I walk by. I returned my bottle. Delphinus is much better and a much more wearable fragrance. I also think Delphinus is the fragrance that women would much prefer, either on themselves or on their men. It is truly a unisex fragrance, IMO, whereas Centaurus is more of a very strong, primarily masculine scent. Also, you mentioned an iris note in Delphinus, and that is one of the three notes that was initially listed in it when it first came out. But now, in Creed’s official list of notes on their website, no iris at all is listed. How strange.

[@mikeg2538]

I just got a decant of it. I find it unique spice. The spice is smooth and creamy. Erica, the heliotrope seems to push through strong. I get a carrot seed vibe maybe from sandalwood? The cinnamon is not your spice rack cinnamon. I blasted many sprays and took a nap at 6pm. When I got back into bed at 11pm, I caught the centauras scent bubble good even though I showered! My pillow and covers took on centauras. ;) There is no comparison to Tobacco Vanille. It also doesnt compare to spicebomb.

[@juse10036]

Bought a sample of each from Creed. I wasn’t a big fan of Centaurus. I got cinnamon, but a Wrigley’s gum cinnamon. Delphinous I enjoyed a lot more. As a man, I didn’t find it feminine at all. After the dry down I got Herod from PdM. I would not pay full price. I’ll wait for the gray market

[@mistergrigsby3145]

Hi Erica! I like the direction this line is going in. I've yet to own any Creed fragrances but these and what may come in the future in this line has me interested. Concerning the price, you do get what you pay for But over 400 for 50 ml or over 500 for 100ml!? It seems Creed is catering to people that can afford really expensive fragrances.

[@kendraharris1493]

CENTAURUS is BEAST❤

[@11leonidas11]

My girlfriend and I liked Delphinus more for me. She said it smells like alcohol to her (whiskey or rum). And I agree, it is very nice.

[@Barbaranez]

The bottle is cute does it last tho on the skin?

[@petelevithan9367]

I saw another vid yesterday stating that Centaurus smells like something else but I can't recall which it was. The reviewer also said that other one was better. Anyone know which it is that's similar?

[@mshahsham2672]

Really you interested the creed if like that I will buy

[@nemesis7884]

I bought the very expensive Amber Intrigue from Tom Ford - I really like the scent and it lasts easily 1.5 days on me...for ever, super strong but skin close

[@kendraharris1493]

iLove them both , but I’ve😂been hearing more aBout DELPHINUS - but CENTAURUS - OMG!!!!! iget so many compliments! & the Sillage & longevity?! AMAZING!!! ❤❤🎉 the price point though😢😊 BUT the CREED DNA is awesome!

[@caseyplunkett6083]

Tom Ford Vanilla Sex and Black Lacquer are 405 USD for 50ml. Guerlain’s Vanille Planifolia is 603 USD for 50ml. Creed Centaurus and Delphinus are $400 for 50ml. Creed’s prices are on par with other luxury releases. Prices of fragrances and luxury goods have risen to the level of ridiculousness industry wide. If one cannot or chooses not to purchase these two offerings from creed there are other options on the niche market. Vanille Havane from Les Indemodables in place of Centaurus and Zou Zou from Celine to get a similar effect of Delphinus, which is very unique. Zou Zou is not the cheapest, at 320 for 100ml but the quality and originality of Delphinus is hard to replicate imo. The incense -vanillic, powdery heliotrope Iris is divine imo, and I’m usually a fan of Iris.

[@tahmouresmoghaddam7750]

Which better for men ?

[@NickSheesenYT]

thanks Erica, that was interesting.

[@dominicksans7204]

I have gotten the samples of Centaurus but have yet to wear them because it is not cool enough yet to get the true experience and performance of the fragrance. I have spent money at this price point on fragrance before. I am a fragrance lover so I do not mind but in the grand scheme of things would I say any fragrance is worth that no, not from that perspective but if we are comparatively speaking then some fragrance are compared to others like MFK Oud Satin Mood. Don’t have to spray that much and it last a long time and projects. You get your moneys worth. And few others I can name.

[@jts4248]

I really like both of them. I think I like delphinus better but both are good. Oh just wait haters will hate lol. They will give it a review and haven't even smelt it 😂

[@sukhdeepsinghsaini]

Better to buy Boundless by Amouage or Creed Centaurus ?

[@jroark101]

They are different. Try both

[@Morowinger]

I bought Delphinus on the spot. Love the Scent DNA. Imho Delphinus is the best Scent of Creed. Cerberus is also lovely but not as unique as Delphinus. Happy, that Creed is Moving away from old man smelling scents.

[@MESSY-AF]

creed is known for 20 min projection lol

[@WhiteRangerTP]

Stop being a dork and use it when ever you want. You "i can only wear this fragrance in the summer between 8-10 am" people are so stupid 🤦🏻

[@velocity5741]

Aventus is very wearable in the fall and winter months lol

[@livinglife3230]

Great gym scent 💪🏽💪🏽

[@Manudrip]

@@WhiteRangerTP He's not being a dork and it seems like he's actually wearing his stuff whenever he wants. Some scents really suit specific seasons. I wear the crap out of Aventus Cologne in the summer because it perfectly captures that hot, humid vibe. But once the cool breeze arrives, I put it away until the following summer because it starts to feel out of place.

[@WhiteRangerTP]

@@Manudrip you are a dork too in that case. Keep wearing fragrances for specific time zones you dork🤦🏻

[@heatherhart3108]

Lovely review. Have them both and I am a girly girl!

[@Emily-fo2xo]

Cmon Creed! There are like 1000 of these 2 on market. I heard Centaurus smells like Wrigley Big Red gum. It seems this is trying to be Mancera Red Tobacco

[@patr70]

"Creed" is no longer the same since it was sold last year, but they're making more $$.. at least, for now 🤔 Time will tell how long the success lasts as they can't ride off of the Creed name forever.

[@Mrglock54]

😂 Big Red

[@unicdelmore4382]

You will definitely get a red tobacco vibe if you smell it. Not the same but definitely the same vibe

[@a54936]

0 big red gum

[@RobSilazi]

If you just "heard" how it might smell you shouldn't post your opinion about it. Invest, test it and share your thoughts later.

[@caseyplunkett6083]

I don’t get any BO effect whatsoever and my skin is very sensitive to Cumin. If some people get this effect it must be coming from something other than Cumin.

[@RobSilazi]

Both Delphinus and Centaurus are undoubtedly masterpieces. Absolutely unique and classy, well balanced, projecting sophistication and value by its price tag. If you are a Creed fan, its a must have edition of both.

[@josemacedo2785]

I smell them b4 at the house of creed very expensive but good

[@املالسنين-ط9س]

أيهما افضل ؟

[@frankstallone9121]

63k subs and you can't even breakdown any of the frags that you "review" at all. No mention of notes, just "It smells so good guys, go buy it!" Low effort shilling for free bottles and money.

[@eauderica]

@@frankstallone9121 that’s ridiculous. And when on earth did I say “go buy it”? 😂 I guess “it’s very expensive and won’t be worth it to most people, try it in store and get samples first” = GO BUY IT! so rude!

[@2HankMoody3]

I haven't watched the video yet, just sharing my experience. I own A bottle of Aventus, GIT, Himalaya, SMW, Aventus Absolu, Virgin island Water, and for me the best creed, the ultimate Bond fragrance Spice and Wood. Something Don Johnson would also use as his signature scent in MV. Creed has many fragrances i really enjoy and like. Yes performance isn't stellar on all of them. But if you spend 100 bucks on a champagne, that's just as much of a "waste" of money if not worse. So back to the fragrances Centaurus - Delphinus i tried them a few days ago. We can talk about notes and all of that, but there's not much point. Upon smelling both, i was like WTF is this. Propably just as disappointing as Eau Forte was from Kurdjian, Dior's biggest flop since he joined them. So these two are both a hard pass, no thank you. I'll watch the video now, and see what your opinion was.

[@amiramiree]

I have to disagree with your take on Centarus! Personally, I find it super cinnamon-forward and overly spicy. The combination of cinnamon and pink pepper is very bold, almost to the point of being overwhelming and, honestly, a bit annoying. While it’s undeniably long-lasting, it’s in a way that I don’t find pleasant.

[@jraysunrise]

Centaurus smells like a legit pile of horse 💩 it really does live up to its name. Same with delphinus although delphinus is a tad bit better than centaurus. Either or both are obnoxious and for the price big no.
