Zeta takes its time
This lime blossom scent does not make it easy. Up to now I found the Andy Tauer creations relatively quickly accessible, but at ZETA it becomes pompous and cumbersome at first. Of all the scents with a citric top note that I have experienced so far, this is probably the least fresh, but that doesn't mean that you can't recognize them or that they are artificial.
But it takes time until ZETA slowly gets into the groove. What you hear then is a mix of rather massive lime trees and orange blossoms. Sometimes a bit sticky and thanks to Neroli with the light vibe of sun cream. In general I find ZETA almost generally creamy, whereas in the later phase the fragrance itself seems lighter and more floating, partly reflecting interesting nuances between timid metallic and sweetish floral.
In between, the beguiling sandalwood comes through again and again, but this does not necessarily make Zeta, as a declared lime blossom scent, any more light-footed. Interesting side effect: while wearing it, wasps came very close to my discreetly sprayed neck twice, completely independently of each other. Even if they did not sting and I left them alone as far as possible, it was by no means pleasant. Maybe it wasn't necessarily Zeta's fault, but I hadn't seen wasps that intrusive for a long time.
Nevertheless, I forgive the seven points very benevolently, because the sophisticated heart note seemed to be quite useful to me. Nevertheless, during the test I had to think of "Tilleul" by d'Orsay - perhaps the most successful fragrance on the subject of lime blossom. It comes extremely light-footed and absolutely authentic and would be more of a recommendation. However, its production has also been discontinued, which is a real pity.
