DSQUARED² Potion for Women is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Christine Nagel. Potion for Women opens with Bergamot, Violet, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Rhubarb, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambergris. DSQUARED²'s Potion for Women carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper chameleon. Some find it a beautifully blended, warm, and sophisticated signature, while others sniff out a cheap, generic mess. It really does seem to have a mind of its own on different skins, so sniff before you splurge.

Its moderate sillage and warm, cozy character make it suitable for close-quarters situations like dates, while its unpredictable nature might make it a risk for formal events. The clean-green notes and overall comfort make it fine for casual wear, but its lack of projection makes it less ideal for sporting activities.

About

Potion for Women opens with a burst of bright bergmot alongside tart rhubarb and juicy blackberry. As it settles, a floral heart emerges, with powdery violet and soft rose leading the way, underpinned by hints of jasmine and lily. The dry down is a comforting embrace of warm vanilla and ambergris, all wrapped in a clean, soft musk with a subtle earthy patchouli.
