Zeta Tauer Perfumes for women

Finally a Tauer fragrance that's easy to love.. apparently me & linden blossom get along perfectly fine!

When I was little, there were plenty of linden trees where we lived. That was ages ago, and recently when someone asked about a linden-inspired scent, I suddenly remembered about it. I cannot remember how the trees smelled, so I was happy to come across Zeta to perhaps remind me.

Well, the first sniff id not bring any childhood memories, but that of course is not something I would count as a negative side of the perfume.

It is a well blended, very green, floral scent. Probably one of those I call nature scents: a scent of fresh air, pollen, slightly humid air early in the morning. Starts of bright and very uplifting, gives a positive vibe. But, like a few other Tauer's creations, ends up too sharp for me. Here we have all the citrus, ylang-ylang and sandalwood, and on me after a while Zeta starts smelling like one of those incense sticks that people in shops with Indian goods burn to give a mysterious atmosphere, so the overall result is a flowery, green scent with a strong oriental twist. Interesting, but like all Tauers, did not work for me.

When I think of Tauer perfumes, I generally think of dark, dense, ponderous, sometimes inscrutable perfumes of incredible intensity and depth. With this backdrop, I found myself taken aback somewhat by ZETA, which is about as affable and accessible as a perfume can get. I would describe the composition as a green citrus floral. There is a lot here in common with several perfumes inhabiting the same general olfactory neighborhood, including Bond no 9 EAU DE NEW YORK and Banana Republic W.

The linden and citrus and orange blossom mingle together to produce the effect, apparently intended by the perfumer, of light. It's nice, but it does not have the wild quality and originality I usually associate with this house. ZETA is a very tame and friendly fragrance, which should be good news for those who find the perfumes of this house too intense, but it may be a disappointment to those who have fallen in love with some of the earlier masterpieces created by Andy Tauer.

I was very curious about this fragrance, as I am not a citrus fan, I included it in my sample pack to see if maybe this fragrance would appeal to me. But, sadly, no. It is really quite depressing in my opinion! I know that sounds silly, as how can a floral, with citrus come across as depressing! But that was the reaction I got. It has a oily, almost kerosine scent to my nose. I had in on for a few hours, hoping it would develop in to something fresher, but no. Even when I scrubbed it off, it still remained on my skin, faintly, but the scent sort of stayed at the back of my throat somehow. The description sounded so promising, but we should never be fooled by descriptions! I do advise to purchase the samples, and never blind buy these unusual fragrances. For those of you who love citrus scents, do get a sample, it may appeal,but I have to say I really found it unwearable.

Zeta, oh yes, very nice. Like Spring itself. This is an uplifting fragrance - non demanding, just cheerful.

Come to think of it, one could wear Zeta during the day, and then switch to LANCOME Poeme, for an evening out. Both have that honey quality in addition to linden.

Received my Discovery set from Tauer perfumes today. It only took a week to arrive, but I was counting the minutes (had a sample of L`Air du Desert Marocain and hoped for more wonders).
ZETA. Is Glorious. Radiant sun on a breezy spring day. Glowing greens of new foliage. Spring breezes alternately bringing the scent of heady white blooms, and the refreshment of Linden flowers. Makes me want to roll around in warm fragrant green grass, soaking up sunshine, brilliant blue skies, the rich smell of green flowering Earth. I don't care about sillage, or longevity; I want a giant bottle of this joyous experience.
-on a side note, I am very impressed with the quality of attention Tauer perfumes pays to every detail from beginning to end.

I loved the perfume. One very unique aroma. But I will continue to search for the lasting power and the sillage that I look for in a perfume. I wondered if Mr. Tauer would make a more powerful version of Zara. I would order it immediatly in litters.

Just received it by post! I am in total scent, an extraordinary offative trip. The best product Switzerland has ever produced after the Gruyère cheese and Vacheron Constantin watches. Simply an art work.

I prefer Andy Tauer's earlier creations to this. To me it seems a very linear floral with none of the oomph factor that I would have expected from him. I also agree with Kterhark about it being a "yellow fragrance" - and I don't get much of the green or other notes listed. In its favour, it has very good lasting power. (Thanks Yamba1 for the sample!)

This beautiful fragrance whispers summer - a stroll throughly sun-dried hay fields with the lazy warmth felt at the end of a hot day. Gorgeous.

I've discovered the secret to appreciating Tauer: don't stick your nose in it.

I brought out Zeta while having lunch with a fellow perfume friend. The vile accidentally tipped and spilled, so we rushed to dab our wrists in it. The result: two votes for an underwhelming, stinky fragrance.

But today I'm wearing it on my chest, sparingly. The added heat and humidity really make Zeta pop. Now I get the fresh linden, and a 'yellow flower' accord. (You don't need to check the notes, you'll know by smell that this is a 'yellow green' fragrance).

There is a lot of sunshine in Zeta, and it will truly transport you to a warm and happy place. I need to stress the 'sparing' aspect, because there is something here that amplifies with time, as if you stuck your nose too far into the flower and got it full of nectar.

Zeta is a must try for folks who love floral greens.

Bursts forth with greenness and lemon, and evolves a sweet powdery iris with a faint tropical fruit note. A very positive clean fragrance. Feminine without losing strength for a woman who appreciates beauty and being taken seriously. At the very end, the powderiness fades into exotic spices and an unexpected soft water-lily like note emerges. Intriguing.


Respectable silage, longevity 2.5/5.

Another wonderful floral parfum from Andy Tauer. ZETA opens with rose and a bit of citrus before the lovely linden blossom appears with its honeyed softness. The "Tauerade" is at minimum, though I do smell a touch of vanilla in the dry down.

While like all Tauers ZETA has good longevity, it is on the softer side. Linden blossoms and citrus make it very sunny and the perfect scent for summer.

A touching scent. Rich, pure. Bright as the sun. An intangible smell, hard to catch, vibrant, like the air at sunset, that brings the beautiful and elusive aroma of linden blossom.

This is a truly gorgeous linden flower perfume, you spray it on and it is just a strong natural whiff of the finest flower oils that you could imagine! The radiant spakling freshnes of rose petals are melting with the orris oil,later on in the heart of the fragrance the seductive linden blossom should find a way into your heart too. For me it is truly the best perfume until now in 2011! Give it a try at least if you re a lover of floral perfumes (not the WHITE ones:)Nothing harsh or disturbing here, all components melt beautifully within each other. MORE of those florals Mr. Tauer...please
