NGC 6302 translates the astrophysical duality of the Butterfly Nebula into fragrance. The icy, minty energy of [buchu leaf](/note/herbal-notes) and [patchouli](/note/patchouli) collides with dense florals, [frankincense](/note/frankincense), and [amber](/note/amber). Cosmic fire meets absolute zero in a composition of coolness, flowers, and depth.

The opening feels cool and kinetic: minty [buchu leaf](/note/herbal-notes), bright [lemon zest](/note/lemon), airy apple blossom, and aromatic [cardamom](/note/cardamom). A dense floral heart of [tuberose](/note/tuberose), [narcissus](/note/narcisse), [jasmine sambac](/note/jasmine-sambac), and [osmanthus](/note/osmanthus) supplies the contrasting heat. In the base, earthy [patchouli](/note/patchouli), glowing [amber](/note/amber), [frankincense](/note/frankincense), and bitter wormwood orbit an abstract space accord.
