Parfums Caron Delire de Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Richard Fraysse. Delire de Roses opens with Rose and Lotus, settles into a heart of Green and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Jasmine and Litchi. Parfums Caron's Delire de Roses carries an Acquired verdict, a tropical-led wear.

Caron Delire de Roses is a divisive one, blending a fresh, authentic rose with an unexpectedly sweet, almost gourmand depth. Some find it beautiful and unique, a refined take on rose, while others find it cloying, unoriginal, and lacking the signature Caron finesse.

About

Opening with a flourish of fresh, dewy rose, Delire de Roses quickly unveils a juicy, almost syrupy litchi sweetness that gives it a playful, tropical edge. Underneath, a watery lotus and clean lily-of-the-valley prevent it from becoming overly jammy, while a subtle greenness adds a natural, garden-fresh dimension. The overall effect is a vibrant floral, sweet but with an unexpected depth some describe as nutty or even popcorn-like.
