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 a Statement 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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage, long-lasting performance, and prominent warm, boozy accords, this scent is best reserved for evening dates and formal events. It's too intense for office wear, but its unique character could work for a casual statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
