Reviews of Explosions d'Emotions : Déliria by L'Artisan Parfumeur
What the f*ck? This one, is out in left field.
Definite metallic notes at first.
Then a kind of melting plastic.
Hot, like electrical wires burning.
An almost dusty, old iris smell.
Ozone smell.
Hairspray.
An old, cheap rum.
Stale toffee.
Some strange creature, this is.
Circus! Circus!
I smell cotton candy and some other carnival treats being hawked by vendors.
I swear I smell roasted peanuts in the shell, down a pathway, near "the big tent".
Hours later I get a campfire odor.
One of the more bizarre perfumes I've tried. Call me insane - I like it!

The boozy fruity opening has indeed the characteristic of a candied apple, witha touch of tangy acid at the start, and soon hints of caramel are added to have it all merge into a sweet, syrupy melange.
Surprisingly, after an initial sweet onslaught, the frangrance's sugary component recedes a bit, and a certain balance is achieved that from then on is maintained throughout and is not cloying or overwhelming. For the last couple of hours the sweetness is bery much in the background. The performance is excellent with strong sillage, very good projection and a magnificent fourteen hours of longevity on my skin. A great gourmand autumn sugar bomb - but not without an original twist. 3.25/5

I, too, bought this reduced in TK Maxx. It is highly unusual. It's very sweet, pungent and long-lasting. The trick is to only apply a very small amount indeed!
Uhhhhh...yeah...no! What exactly is this?
After I got past the incredibly offensive opening notes, which I imagine are the metallic & rum scents, all I could smell was something akin to a pistol that was removed from an old leather holster. Uggghhhhhh!
Throw in the horse's rear-end (a$$) and you'll get the complete picture. WOW!!! Took me several tries to get past the incredibly offensive opening notes. Actually felt nauseated. Gun metal & leather on me.
Cotton-candy? Candy apples? Toffee? Where? Got more offensive during its dry-down. Refrained from scrubbing but my-oh-my.
Just not for me.

I agree that this scent is unusual and odd, but in the best of ways. The sweet apple and cotton candy make me feel young and bubbly. It reminds me of a kuwaii girl dressed in vibrant colors and modern, bubbly style. That may be an odd reference, but this scent makes me feel playful and cheery when I wear it. I always love wearing it to this place I go to with a light up disco floor. I feel like it fits perfectly :)
Now this is some odd stuff! It smells like the candy floss machine over heated due to a toffee apple falling in!
I wasn't sure at first if I liked it as on first application it's so sweet it can be a little over the top. Give it 5 mins and it settles into a crip clean apple mixed with candyfloss. Beautifully unusual. I was lucky enough to stumble across it on TK Maxx.com reduced from £135 to £29:99. I bought it blind, well I bought 2 blind as I have come to adore sweet fragrances and I do love something a little different.
Not a good idea to buy blind at full price as this is a love or hate. Along the lines of Angel but bears little resemblance, more in a similar style.
Addictive, unusual, lasting and projects well.

Deleria smells like cotton candy while it!s being made and apples slightly tart, this is the initial impression. And then I notice a complete dryness with a hint of metallic vaporous quality. Unflavored sweetness - cotton candy - balanced by extreme dry tanginess. These opposites destroy the flourishes first smelled and leave a vacuum in the scented space, a hollow. This is a very attractive fragrance! Must be laws of chemical physics at work for the opposites to reflect against each other and cancelling their excesses in the creation of a thick neutral presence - a delirium.
I only got the chance to sniff this briefly and it came across as the most unusual and daring of the three quite pleasant offerings within in this group.
