A tribute to \u003cstrong\u003eColombia\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA house where the number indicates the fragrance family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBon Parfumeur is a Parisian house founded in 2017 by Ludovic Bonneton\u003c\/strong\u003e, a passionate collector who became artistic director. The project was born from two things: his return from \u003cstrong\u003eColombia\u003c\/strong\u003e, where he lived surrounded by the scents of cocoa, coffee, and tropical flowers, and his meeting with the great perfumer \u003cstrong\u003eRaymond Chaillan\u003c\/strong\u003e, who showed him that perfume could be described through the five senses rather than through words. Its distinctive feature is its numbering system, which is far from arbitrary: \u003cstrong\u003ethe first digit indicates the fragrance family, while the following two indicate the fragrance's rank within that family\u003c\/strong\u003e. The creations are designed from the outset to be \u003cstrong\u003emixed and layered\u003c\/strong\u003e—the Mix \u0026amp; Match principle. Everything is \u003cstrong\u003emade in France\u003c\/strong\u003e. The extracts are distinguished by their \u003cstrong\u003egold cap\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of Caribbean rum, cocoa, and mandarin leaf\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaribbean rum\u003c\/strong\u003e opens warm and syrupy, \u003cstrong\u003eWest African cocoa\u003c\/strong\u003e brings its gourmand bitterness, and \u003cstrong\u003emandarin leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e—extracted from the leaves, not the fruit—adds a fresh, zesty green note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of Moroccan iris, Indian sandalwood, vanilla, and cedar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoroccan iris\u003c\/strong\u003e establishes its cool, earthy, and woody powder. \u003cstrong\u003eIndian sandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e softens it with creaminess, \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e provides its backbone, and \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a dry edge. It is the most elegant heart in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of papyrus, coffee, vetiver, and sugarcane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndian papyrus\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eIndonesian vetiver\u003c\/strong\u003e create a dry, woody foundation, enhanced by \u003cstrong\u003eEthiopian and Ivorian coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e, bright and robust. \u003cstrong\u003eSugarcane\u003c\/strong\u003e brings a final touch of sweetness. The extract is \u003cstrong\u003e80%\u003c\/strong\u003e pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's signature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn iris that takes seven years.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eMoroccan iris essence\u003c\/strong\u003e used here is one of the rarest ingredients in perfumery: the \u003cstrong\u003erhizomes remain in the ground for three years, then dry for four years\u003c\/strong\u003e before they can be processed. Seven years for a single ingredient—and it is what gives the fragrance its cool powderiness. The inspiration, however, is intimate. Bonneton explains: \"\u003cem\u003eI wanted the night in Cartagena to become a fragrance. I wanted to remember forever that summer evening under the stars with my wife. A tribute to Colombia and its scents.\u003c\/em\u003e\" And the perfumer measures the task: \"\u003cem\u003eThe challenge was enormous. It was about recreating a defining moment in Ludovic's life: his first dinner with his wife.\u003c\/em\u003e\" The official scene goes down to the last detail: the conversations end, \u003cstrong\u003ethe tablecloth is rumpled\u003c\/strong\u003e, and coffee, rum, and chocolates are served. Cartagena de Indias, in \u003cstrong\u003eColombia\u003c\/strong\u003e—not Carthage. It is the country where Bonneton lived before founding the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, and for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoody, gourmand, and powdery, this perfume extract is for those who love cocoa and coffee but want them dry and elegant. It is at its best from autumn to winter, in the evening, and can be worn by both women and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003e502 Iris Cartagena Bon Parfumeur\u003c\/strong\u003e, Clément Marx captures a first dinner under the stars in a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BON PARFUMEUR","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":54414984708360,"sku":"PROD-000631","price":175.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/iris-cartagena-502-flacon-brun-bon-parfumeur-eau-de-parfum_bdd9e80b-e26c-4822-a831-8aeae7ba7994.png?v=1787048271","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/502-iris-cartagena","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
