A tribute to the scents of Colombia, this extrait de parfum suggests a late-night dinner for two under the stars. A gourmand dance of aromas is carried on the warm breeze: coffee, rum, chocolates. Powdery, pillowy vanilla and iris blur into vetiver and sandalwood for a sumptuous dream.
Perfumer: Clément Marx
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a close, unhurried evening when the room has gone quiet and the air still holds warmth from the day. It sits close to the skin, giving off coffee, rum and soft iris in a polished, intimate way that feels more like a private atmosphere than a public statement.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its coffee, vanilla and woody notes can unfold without becoming too dense. Apply lightly at first; as an extrait, it has enough depth to project with restraint, leaving a smooth, leathery trail that stays warm and composed on skin.
Who it’s for
For those who like gourmand notes handled with restraint, and who enjoy iris, woods and soft leather over sugary sweetness. It will appeal to wearers drawn to textured, intimate fragrances with a clean finish and a quietly sensual profile.
The nose
Karine Dubreuil-Sereni is a French perfumer known for elegant, textured compositions that balance clarity with sensuality. Her work often moves between floral refinement and deeper, more tactile materials, which suits a fragrance like 502 Iris Cartagena: iris is softened into a gourmand-woody haze, with coffee, rum and vanilla giving the composition its warm, enveloping character. She is part of the generation of French noses associated with contemporary niche perfumery, where craftsmanship and emotional storytelling matter as much as structure. In this fragrance, her style reads as controlled but generous: powdery facets are kept clean, while the darker notes add depth without turning heavy.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton shaped the creative brief through the brand’s Les Collabs concept, using his memories of Cartagena, Colombia as the emotional starting point for the scent. The collaboration format gives the perfumer carte blanche within a defined story, so the final perfume reflects both the founder’s personal inspiration and the perfumer’s interpretation.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur builds contemporary French perfumery around clarity, creativity and accessibility. The house emphasizes made-in-France production, eco-conscious choices and a modular approach to scent, encouraging layering and personal composition rather than fixed, formal codes.
502 Iris Cartagena’s concept
502 Iris Cartagena belongs to Bon Parfumeur’s Les Collabs line and was inspired by Ludovic Bonneton’s memories of Cartagena, where tropical air, coffee, cocoa and flowers left a lasting impression. The fragrance translates that atmosphere into a warm iris-woody gourmand, with the number 502 placing it within the brand’s evolving olfactory system.
Extra info
502 Iris Cartagena is part of Bon Parfumeur’s Les Collabs series, a line built around artistic collaborations. The brand’s bottles are designed for easy layering, with the fragrance family and key notes clearly presented on each one.
