No Babylonian confusion of languages
I test just with preference the exclusive fragrances of the company FiiLit - on the one hand because they are special, on the other hand because they have written themselves ecological sustainability on the flag.
I like to support this philosophy.

Well, the fragrances definitely go in the niche direction - but remain approachable and on the carpet.

So also Babylonia receives me not with a Babylonian babble of languages - but it speaks clearly and understandably with me.

The pepper offers a lively but unscratchy start - which is softened by resinous and incense.
The fragrance becomes visibly calmer and experiences freshness through the mint.
Sandal smoothes it creamy and the Oud acts slightly sweet.
Nutmeg floats spicy over it.

Not an everyday fragrance - but also not a head-scratcher.

I would like to perceive him more often on men or ladies

The Jazz Gatekeeper
The French perfume label FiiLit with its exemplary ethical-olfactory claim and concept has already been presented in detail in my commentary on "Saudade".

Mušhuššu - Babylonia is the latest creation of the French and refers to the mythology of the snake dragon that guards the eastern paradise of Babylon including its hanging gardens. Some may know it from the illustration of the Ištar Gate in the Pergamom Museum in Berlin. It also served as a model for the foolish dragon Mushu from the Disney cartoon Mulan.

As an eau de parfum the snake dragon comes across very light woody with a good pinch of pepper. At the same time it looks fresh, but also quite dry and reminds of the original version of Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent, especially through the spiciness of the muscat.

Elemi resin and incense are added relatively sparingly, so that our Babylonian mixed creature looks more woody-spicy than actually resinous. Even the oud is extremely hard to detect. Instead, the mint winds its way through the fragrance and gives the whole thing a relaxed, fresh, ethereal atmosphere.

At the, let's say in this context, tail tip of the fragrance, Mušhuššu is almost tamely mild and balanced, which gives a quiet finish here. Also in this phase the dragon swings out rather woody.

All in all, FiiLit with Mušhuššu again conveys an unusual, yet absolutely pleasant and familiar scent. In this context, I see a great proximity to Yves Saint Laurent's Jazz, who personally showed me his strongest moments in the evening or even in wellness areas with a feel-good character.
