Maksim Perfume Yeti is a unisex fragrance in an extrait concentration, released in 2026.
This is a distinctive, rich and atmospheric release from the Thai brand Maksim Perfume, centered on spicy and woody nuances.
The name Yeti gives the composition an image of cool mountain landscapes, mysterious forest trails and dense air after a snowfall.
The fragrance does not aim to be neutral: its character is expressive, deep and slightly wild, making it especially appealing to those looking for a perfume with a strong sense of individuality.
Yeti’s impression is built on a contrast between spicy energy, dry tea nuances, green mossy depth and a warm woody base.
In the opening minutes, the composition feels invigorating and focused; it then becomes calmer, cooler and more textured, leaving a dense resinous-woody impression in the drydown.
In olfactory terms, Yeti belongs to the spicy and woody fragrance families.
Its scent also reveals balsamic, tea, green, fruity and earthy-mossy nuances, allowing the composition to unfold with depth rather than being reduced to a single straightforward note.
Yeti is reported to have a very strong sillage.
Its extrait concentration and rich woody-spicy structure suggest a noticeable presence, so it is best to start with a small amount and gradually increase it if needed.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the database.
A practical approach is to apply the fragrance to pulse points, or spray it in front of you and walk into the mist for a softer cloud. On fabric, the composition may last longer and smell more intensely, so it is best to test the material on an inconspicuous area first.
Yeti is gender-neutral, but its dense and expressive character is particularly suitable for cool weather, evenings, walks or occasions when you want to emphasize your personal style.
In hot climates and small spaces, it is best to keep the dosage minimal so that the powerful sillage remains comfortable for those around you.
The fragrance was created by Rajesh Balkrishnan and Maksim Bortnikov.
Through a rich, layered composition, their work reveals the character of Maksim Perfume, combining spicy and woody accords with natural, mossy and tea nuances.
No information is available about Yeti belonging to a separate collection, other concentrations or an official website for the release.
It is therefore reasonable to view this fragrance as an independent release from the brand, intended for fans of distinctive unisex compositions with a powerful presence.
For further exploration of a similar mood, consider Hugo Boss Hugo Urban Journey, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Geoffrey Beene Bowling Green.
They offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations of the woody, spicy and masculine-leaning unisex style, although Yeti stands out for its especially powerful sillage and wilder atmosphere.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes open with a spicy accord of black pepper, cardamom, elemi, juniper berries, and Sichuan pepper.
The heart of the composition reveals a dry tea facet, with black tea surrounded by fir and oakmoss.
The base combines guaiac wood, oud, sandalwood, and valerian, creating a deep woody drydown with a green, earthy nuance.
