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
The meal has ended, but the conversation has not: coffee cups remain on the table, with a little rum and chocolate still to share. Powdery iris softens that after-dinner richness, giving the fragrance an intimate, unhurried presence rather than a sugary flourish.
How to wear
Its rum, cocoa and woody depth make it a natural choice for cooler weather and mild evenings. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the iris and vanilla to soften the gourmand opening. In warm conditions or close indoor settings, keep application restrained so the richer accords do not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy gourmand fragrances with a dry, woody counterweight rather than overt confectionery sweetness. It suits a taste for powdery iris, coffee and boozy accords, especially when papyrus, cedar and vetiver are as important as the edible notes.

The nose
Clément Marx composed 502 Iris Cartagena around the challenge of translating a personal dinner memory into scent. His composition balances rum, cocoa and coffee with powdery iris and dry woods, giving the gourmand accord structure rather than relying on sweetness alone. He also created the later Eau de Parfum as a distinct interpretation, not simply a lighter dilution.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton, Bon Parfumeur’s founder, supplied the personal memory and creative brief: his first dinner with his wife in Cartagena. Marx worked from that recollection to evoke the evening’s coffee, rum and chocolates through iris, gourmand accords and woods.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur treats fragrance as a way to preserve memories, emotions and places, pairing French perfumery traditions with contemporary creative briefs. Its numbered, color-coded collections make olfactory families easier to navigate, while each perfume is designed to stand alone or invite personal experimentation through layering.
502 Iris Cartagena’s concept
502 Iris Cartagena grew from Bonneton’s memory of a summer evening under the stars in Colombia. The coffee, rum and chocolates accompanying his first dinner with his wife became the composition’s gourmand thread, softened by iris and vanilla and grounded in sandalwood, papyrus and vetiver.
Extra info
The number 502 places it in Bon Parfumeur’s 500 gourmand family as the second numbered creation. The Extrait’s identifying trio is iris, cocoa and papyrus; the later Eau de Parfum uses mandarin, iris and cocoa and is a separately reworked composition.
