Comment: Zeta is part of the Collectibles Collection

Taken from a letter of the Greek alphabet, Zeta is the first Collectibles release – a proposed series of vintage (or specific harvest) fragrances where no two batches will be precisely the same (similar to LesNez's Turtle Vetiver Exercise 1). Consisting of rare natural materials, Zeta is described as a "bright ode to summer".

Beginning with a bright citrus burst, the florals are both vibrant and clean as the linden blossom softly emerges. Redolent of water lily, it's slightly honeyed and perfectly complements its floral green surroundings. As it further evolves, a touch of orris provides a sweet powderiness against a discreet vanilla and sandalwood backdrop.

With a dignified and ethereal demeanour, its persistence on the skin is surprisingly decent. Perfectly matching the above description, it's both a pleasant and non-obtrusive scent best worn during the warmer months.
