Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem divides opinion sharply; some hail it as a masterpiece, a rich, spicy amber with a unique medicinal-boozy twist, while others lament its poor performance and a scent that reminds them of church or cough syrup. Love it or hate it, DSquared² Potion has fervent fans missing its unique charm.
A divisive throwback from the turn of the millennium, this scent is either a nostalgic hit or a dated miss. Expect a bold, spicy embrace that refuses to blend in.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy, and amber profile, combined with generally low projection, makes it ideal for intimate settings like dates and adaptable to cooler formal events. It's too heavy for sport and most offices, though some find it office-appropriate due to its close-to-skin nature.
Seasons
Occasions
Its bold and spicy profile makes it more suitable for evening or social events, where its strong character can shine. It might be a bit much for a conservative office setting, but could certainly work for a causal night out.
