Bon Parfumeur 502 Iris Cartagena is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Clément Marx. 502 Iris Cartagena opens with Cacao Pod, Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Rum, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Iris, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Sugar Cane, Vetiver, and Coffee. Bon Parfumeur's 502 Iris Cartagena carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a real head-scratcher - a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that's got everyone talking. Some rave about its unique charm, others find it utterly repulsive. Don't even think about a blind buy, try it first and let the cacao, iris, and boozy woods duke it out on your skin.

About

Iris Cartagena opens with a tantalising swirl of boozy rum and bright mandarin, offset by dry, bitter cacao. The heart unfolds into a creamy, powdery iris, intertwined with warm sandalwood and robust cedar. As it dries down, a gourmand whisper of coffee and sugarcane emerges, grounded by earthy vetiver and distinct papyrus, creating a dry and sophisticated sweetness with an intriguing, almost smoky edge.
