Inspired by the majestic Helix Nebula, known as the “Eye of God,” this extrait captures the mystical balance between infinity and the now. Radiant spice notes open the experience, followed by a complex heart of smoky buddhawood, charred birch tar, earthy moss and leathery oud. The chorus of woods is unexpectedly tenderised with cotton candy and vanilla. A metallic coolness adds an almost otherworldly aura to the composition. A fragrance for those who seek to be present in the deepest aspects of their lives.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and slow attention: a room where the air is dim, the conversation is measured, and the wearer leaves a trail of smoke, resin and polished leather rather than brightness. It feels most natural when you want presence without softness.
How to wear
Best worn in cool to cold weather, where its smoke, tar and oud can unfold without feeling blunt. Use a light hand at first; the extrait concentration gives strong diffusion, and the sweeter vanilla-cotton-candy facets emerge more clearly as it warms on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like dark woods, smoky resins, leathery oud and a touch of unexpected sweetness. It will appeal to people drawn to bold, conceptual niche fragrances with a beastly profile, but who still want structure, contrast and a refined drydown.
Release year
2025
The nose
Andreas Wilhelm is known for sculptural, high-contrast compositions that often balance texture, tension and clarity. His work moves comfortably between niche experimentation and polished structure, which suits Eye of God’s smoky woods, resin and unexpected sweetness. Within YLEM’s debut trio, he helped translate the brand’s cosmic concept into scent with a composition that feels both forceful and controlled: birch tar, oud and styrax give it its dark spine, while the sweeter and cooler facets keep it from becoming purely heavy or tarred.
Collaborators
Moritz Sülz, YLEM’s creative director, shaped the brand’s high-concept brief and the cosmic framework behind the launch trio, guiding the idea of fragrances built from nebulae and space imagery rather than trend-led themes.
Ylem’s story
YLEM Parfums is an avant-garde niche house built around cosmic origin stories. Its fragrances are inspired by real nebulae and framed as a meeting point between science, mysticism and artistry, with an emphasis on unusual materials, conceptual clarity and otherworldly atmosphere.
Eye Of God’s concept
Eye of God is inspired by the Helix Nebula, nicknamed the “Eye of God,” and is presented as part of YLEM’s debut collection. The composition turns that celestial image into scent through radiant spice, smoky woods, leathery oud and a cool metallic aura, aiming to express awe, warmth and infinity at once.
Extra info
Eye of God takes its name from the Helix Nebula, one of the most recognisable deep-space objects and a fitting emblem for YLEM’s nebula-based concept. It launched as part of the house’s first trio and is widely described as a spicy-woody extrait with above-average projection.
