So far, I've only gotten to know two fragrances from the designer brand that didn't convince me either (Potion Blue Cadet, He Wood). This creation is similar in the end, but at least a little better. Potion is somewhat complex and not so easy to grasp at first. Despite positive aspects, however, there is clear criticism, some of which can be traced back to personal preference or dislike for certain notes.
Shortly after spraying on, a liqueur/alcoholic impression results. The beginning is after another short time - like the whole fragrance - also quite spicy, which I like well and not even 0815 comes across as expected (with Angelica and Enzian there are also rather unusual notes). I usually don't like thyme that much, but it's well embedded and doesn't come out that clearly. Soon the pepper enters the stage in a very perceptible way. This is probably intended as a counterweight to the sweet base. Funnily enough, I don't perceive the cinnamon as strongly as others (perhaps due to the daily form). For this, a frankincense note comes from somewhere, although none is listed.
In the base, which also speaks quickly, there are unfortunately candidates who are not so mine. As already mentioned, the whole thing becomes sweeter. I'm sure it's Amber's fault. Unfortunately Potion will become more common/mainstream. Wood is now also clearly noticeable, here declared as cashmere wood (I would have rather tipped on scratchy synthetic cedar, but perhaps these are also the aftershocks of pepper that brizzeln in the nose). Moschus and Patchouli I see here (unfortunately) too subordinated.
Conclusion: You can always test Potion. But it's not really a good fit for me. The (herbal) spice I found unusual and interesting, does not smell cheap either. There's a little smoke in it (wherever it comes from). It almost has something medical about it. Unfortunately, this medicine is then superfluously "sweetened" and so he then becomes arbitrary. I also found the shelf life and Sillage bad. Especially in autumn/winter it needs a few horsepower more to get going. Potion shows up very fast as a skinscent. Pretty lukewarm for an EdP.
Special thanks to Terra for the rehearsal package, further meetings will follow soon:)
