Potion, from DSQUARED² was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Annick Menardo. It has the top notes of Angelica, Mint, and Thyme, middle notes of Cinnamon, Encian, Pepper, and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Cashmere wood, Musk, and Patchouli.
Potion is a warm spicy woody fragrance which I'm honestly going to have to give more airtime because it should be the sort of fragrance that excites me. It opens a little herbal, peppery but soon warms to a cinnamon and ambery heart. I could've sworn there's some vanilla in this which is smooth against the roughness. I tried Gucci Pour Homme once but in honesty I don't remember what it smelled like but I thought it was rougher more like CDG 2 Man? Potion is far from rough it's a smooth amber and woody base which for me is perfectly balanced. A second wear is definitely required as this fragrance has been on my radar for a while..it just smells good.
