NGC 6302, also known as the Butterfly Nebula, is a planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpio, 4000 light years from Earth. It looks like a giant, glowing insect in space, with two colorful “wings”, and a dark band of dust through the middle that resembles a body. Its central star is one of the hottest stars currently known. This extrait entangles our outer space and your inner space with a combination of bright fruit, iridescent florals and hazy mint. The camphorus, bitter blackcurrant of bucchu leaves collides head-on with tropical fruits and narcotic florals before softly descending to Earth via ambered patchouli and incense. Butterfly Nebula — a freezing void meets floral inferno.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening gathering where conversation draws close, but the atmosphere stays charged. Bitter, camphoraceous greenery cuts through the lush floral presence, giving the fragrance a sensuality with an unsettling edge rather than straightforward sweetness.
How to wear
Start with one spray on the chest or forearm and assess before adding more. Mild to cool weather offers a useful setting for the dense floral and amber profile; in heat or close indoor spaces, apply sparingly to keep the fruit and tuberose from overwhelming the greener contrast.
Who it’s for
For lovers of narcotic florals who want bitterness and aromatic tension rather than an entirely plush bouquet. It suits tastes drawn to tuberose, unusual fruity-green contrasts and incense-backed compositions that resist familiar floral conventions.

The nose
Andreas Wilhelm is a Swiss perfumer whose work spans commercial fragrance creation and experimental independent perfumery. Through his own Perfume.Sucks project, he challenges conventional ideas of beauty and transparency in scent. For NGC 6302, his composition sets cool, aromatic vegetation against voluptuous flowers and an amber-incense base.
Ylem’s story
YLEM brings astronomy, mysticism and avant-garde perfumery together, naming its fragrances after nebulae and invoking primordial matter in the house name. Its minimalist, modern visual identity avoids gold-and-glitter luxury codes, allowing unusual compositions and cosmic imagery to define the brand.
NGC 6302 | Butterfly Nebula’s concept
NGC 6302 takes its inspiration from the Butterfly Nebula, translating the contrast between a freezing void and stellar heat into scent. Cool, minty buchu meets intense florals, while patchouli, amber and incense anchor the composition. It is an imaginative interpretation of astronomical imagery, not a reconstruction of a nebula’s smell.
Extra info
The official note structure is divided into three phases rather than a conventional top, heart and base pyramid. Alongside buchu, narcissus and wormwood, it includes a named space accord, extending the astronomical concept into the composition itself.
