Notas Magicas Mate Potion is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Shadi Samra. Mate Potion opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Guaiac Wood, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Oud, and Patchouli. Notas Magicas's Mate Potion carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Mate Potion is a bold yet balanced spice bomb, perfect for those who crave a distinctive, warm presence. It’s got a bit of 'love it or hate it' about it, but the fans are absolutely devoted.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mate Potion detonates with a rich blast of warm spices: cardamon, cinnamon, and saffron lay down a thick, inviting carpet. The heart deepens with the earthy, smoky woodiness of cypriol and guaiac, all underscored by a hint of fiery clove. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, intertwined with the grounding earthiness of vetiver and patchouli, with a dry, resinous oud providing a sophisticated anchor.
