502 Iris Cartagena

502 Iris Cartagena opens with the warmth of cocoa and dark rum, brightened by sharp petitgrain and mandarin zest—a colonial spice-and-spirit opening that recalls sun-baked plazas. Sandalwood emerges softly beneath, grounding the sweetness as iris adds a powdery, almost chalky elegance while cedar and vanilla create a creamy bed. The base slowly deepens: vetiver roots the composition in dry earth, while coffee and papyrus drift in like aged paper and bitter espresso, the sugar cane lingering as a subtle caramel thread before fading to dusty vetiver and the faint ghost of coffee grounds on skin.
