About This Perfume
Bon Parfumeur 502 Iris Cartagena smells like creamy cocoa rum, sweet vanilla coffee. It opens with west African cocoa, Caribbean rum and mandarin petitgrain, moves into Moroccan orris root, vanilla and American cedar and settles on Indian papyrus, sugar cane and Ethiopian coffee. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2024.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $220.
