What a perfect blend! Sensual, comforting, smooth, polished ... Amber, patchouli, musk & cashmere wood, all in ideal proportions, just perfect balance. To my nose, spices play the second role. So, what can I tell you about Potion. Is it good yes? Is it great? no. Can I recommend this to others? no because there are better fragrances out there. I can see this as a versatile and a very safe scent. But definitely not safe in the boring way :) I've yet to wear it in warmer weathers but I think a light application would work, but I'll be wearing other scents over this around that time of year.

In Potion- quality meets with style and charm, the blend of the notes layered perfectly with warm spices and smoky woods.Whiff of rose, a shrug of thyme and pepper,faint cinnamon- they are sitting on a rich woody-smoky amber base.Pleasantly sweet and just exactly as spicy, what is turns the scent sufficiently piquant. Potion is an enthralling UNISEX perfume with excellent sillage and longevity.Just simply perfect for autumn due its slightly oriental and creamy elements. So today for work, I decided I'm wearing this full-on. I did about 8 sprays on my shirt after dressing. And it's really nice. Fruity, airy, powdery musk. It's pretty simple/linear. But very very pleasing. Maybe I needed to wait until my tastes changed, or else it's a summer/warm scent. I think it's due to my tastes now. But I really really like this. Haha! It's light and airy, but heavy enough for great sillage and longevity. An olfactory treat of piquant, aromatic cinnamon over smoky cashmere wood and a plush, pillowy base of amber and warm musk. For those unfamiliar with cashmere wood, think of it as a rounder, hazier type of cedar wood, with something of a lower frequency. An element of mint cools the cinnamon--it's subtle--lending more to the effect of texture and temperature than outright smell. The floral notes are blended extremely well with the darker, stronger aspects, accenting the woody browns,incense grays and spicy reds with softer pastel hues, just light traces of florals hardly noticeable at first but vital to the overall composition. I love how they're treated here. Their absence would surely be noted and change the fragrance entirely, yet while they're present they never distract from the overall effect. For me, this is an example of the perfect use of rose in a masculine composition, as it adds a pretty, perfumed dimension to the woods without sacrificing masculinity. Underneath it all, there is the whisper of cola or sassafras, a sweet, familiar spiciness supplied by an angelica note. It lies within the bed of amber and musk, and serves as a bridge to the cinnamon that started things off.On initial spray I get a very harsh herbal shot but as soon as it starts to air out I instantly get that wood that is similar to Gucci pour Homme. That's where the similarities end for me though. Yes this will remind you of GPH but it's not identical. I feel Potion is better smelling, although layering these two would be quite interesting. Something made me dig this out and put 1 squirt on my inner elbow/arm. And I liked it! It's still soft, but the next morning (put on at about 9pm the night before) it was still there! And it still had enough character/sillage to recognize it. The next morning I had a powdery musky patchouli. Nothing ever lasts on my bare skin, so this was amazing to me. Update: I had the privilege to test both the Edt and the Edp head to head. The Edp on one wrist and the Edt on the other. One spray each. The first minutes of sharp openings are nothing to be exited about, but when they settle down, the quality shines. The Edp is more powerful and full-bodied for about one hour and a half, as You might expect. Then they are more equal for about five hours. The new fragrance is named Potion. It represents a tool of seduction, conquer and emotions and is inspired by the chemical workshops of the past. Potion is designed as a magical alchemy that evokes carnal desires and lust. This has it's place, it's subtle, certainly not a bad smell and certainly not entry level but I feel that considering all the notes it claims, more should be happening. I feel this is true of most EDT's you can buy at the drug store or Sephora, which is why I usually don't.
Fragrances - Potion Paris
A versatile fragrance best suited for fall and winter, Potion is a superb choice for an intimate dinner out or a small gathering around the fire place enjoying good food and good company. Thumbs up.DSquared2 Potion is the second men's fragrance (not counting the limited editions) of the Canadian designer duo Dean and Dan Caten or DSquared2. In collaboration with the Italian company ITF, they launched their first men's fragrance He Wood in 2007, followed by the female version She Wood in 2008. Potion is available as 30, 50 and 100 Eau de Parfum with the extension line (“the quintessence of the fragrance”) of aftershave lotion spray, hair and body wash, body lotion, natural spray and alcohol free deodorant and perfume oil. FYI: We updated this article in June 2023 to give you the most up-to-date info on vanilla perfumes, including two tried-and-tested formulas going viral on TikTok, the one our entire office couldn’t stop sniffing, and how to choose the best vanilla perfume yourself.

Winter, it's very cold outside and you are inside with the loved ones right by the fireplace sipping on some hot wine just a tip of cinnamon. Chill, calm, peaceful, fulfilled. This is what Potion makes me feel like. I’m legit obsessed with Le Monde Gourmande, an affordable line of fragrances that includes this light and sweet vanilla perfume. It’s definitely decadent— hello, vanilla, brown sugar, and apricot—but the amber and jasmine help tone it down a bit from being too rich and heavy. I actually wear this in big crowds a lot without worrying it’ll give someone a headache.
Potion is in a way a "good" fragrance in its own category. Potion was in my "most wanted list" for so long. I searched for this fragrance everywhere since it came out, not being able to find it in the USA I bought it online in the international market. I finally received it today and after a very long search and waiting..... well...... it turned out to be a little of a disappointment. So as i said before, definitely not for the humid or hot weather, so this one is definitely a late fall/winter fragrance :) if you wear it in the heat, like i did (i promise i was only trying it on) the longevity and projection of this beauty is gone in about 30mins, so no point even wasting this juice, to just try it haha Do go for the Edp since it will probably last longer. That is the main differens here. But if the Etd is what You can find, get it! This fragrance i tried some years ago and found it very ugly. Now... after my nose developed a lot more then i expected i can finaly give this fragrace it's right.
Great Deal
