The band's trademarks include a laconic and serious-looking performance style.Originally from Vaala and currently living in Kallio, Helsinki, Maustetytöt listen to traditional Finnish schlager, and their role model is Leevi and the Leavings.

Oskari Onninen from Helsingin Sanomat describes the band as "downright suspiciously 'authentic' and non-commercial". According to Antti Luukkanen from Soundi, the songs contain "everyday realism and the glamor of downright misery".Maustetytöt achieved international fame when they appeared in Aki Kaurismäki's 2023 film Fallen Leaves, performing the song "Syntynyt suruun ja puettu pettymyksin" ("Born in sorrow and clothed in disappointment"). According to critic Esther Zuckerman from The New York Times, Maustetytöt is an "impossibly cool modern Finnish duo". Also, Bilge Ebiri from Vulture finds the Maustatytöt part in the film a "showstopping appearance". With the publicity brought by the film, Maustetytöt has accumulated many foreign music tours, such as in Sweden and Germany.
