Yeti - smelling like a mythical creature or: the missed zoologist opportunity

Robert, the Yeti, had a new business idea. He often heard (voices) saying that he had a nice smell. How could he manage to always emit such pleasant scents? So he became obsessed with the idea of releasing a perfume one day. It was just as well that he kidnapped various people during his last foray, only to cook them later and eat them with relish. One man, however, constantly lamented that the world had lost his talent for perfume creations. Let's call him Steorg Gaudt or Gaudi-Georg. In any case, the following dialog ensued:

"Me Rooobääärt. Yeti. You make perfume for me. Everyone smells like me."
"Uh, like blood from all the corpses here? Or like civet? That's what it smells like here...Did you put this in Duschdas bottles?"
"Do it or I'll eat you."
"Yes yes yes, it's ok, so normally I arrange a few appointments for a bespoke...so is it something along the lines of perverse Prin creations with urine, sperm, blood and so on? Or would you prefer something a little more pleasing? Something more traditional with an animal twist or something? Or rather a scent like a Robby Bubble sparkling wine? Something along the lines of Erba Pura?"
"You talk a lot, maybe you'd rather eat."
"Well, I'll get started. With both arms, if the shackles could come off? I have lots of ingredients in my little village where you could do some magic. Could we go there? You just pretend to be Babsi, my stepsister on my mother's side, nobody will notice. But then I'll be spared."
"Okay."

This is where two fragrances come together that I know individually, which are relatively diametrically opposed and, to put it simply, have been blended. Naturally refined and the like. The spectrum ranges from citrusy-fresh notes to directly smoky oud-animalic. You find yourself in an olfactory hidden object; in this case saffron, accompanied by musky notes and subtle almond. Then there is the oud sextet and various animalic additions. It smells leathery, tart, smoky. This combination with tangerine, orange and the like is extremely exciting. Hesperides wilt, burn up like the sun, impressions of deep reds and autumnal colors appear. This facet of Yeti is dominant and also very strongly constructed.

The ouds do not outdo each other, do not create too many edges, but like a kaleidoscope, they create a multi-layered unity, shimmering in all kinds of resinous and woody notes. Balsamic nuances also contribute to this. These round Yeti off, providing a kind of full-bodiedness, but you should not be put off. From time to time, the sublimely extreme style overflows, a hint of autumnal-animalic redness wafts past, the intensely fragrant citrus peel almost provides a harmonious and cozy overtone.

The citrus facets gradually fade away, Yeti becomes more racy and spicy, the moderately impetuous animalic and oud melange of the first few moments transforms into a peaceful, olfactory lake. The nucleus of this creation becomes apparent and remains so, the extroverted essence also becomes more mature and withdraws.

What is the conclusion? Two fragrances, which the perfumers thought were not good enough on their own, combined for whatever reason and the result is a work that finally brings out the qualities of the individual components. A perfume reminiscent of the archaic MGO releases. Sometimes it really does seem like a mosaic. Perfection through the big picture. Perhaps a plea for fruitful cooperation, for a fundamental togetherness.
