The Mysterious One...
perfume family: spicy oriental
"Love Potion" started out as a custom order for a lonely friend. She wanted a that would "attract some Love into her Life!" It sounded like an interesting project, so I started reading through the collections of ancient Egyptian perfume and the medieval European potion recipes I had collected over the years...and boy, was there a lot of "Love Potions"! Seems it’s been a favorite subject matter for perfumers and herbalists for centuries...Anyway, I took the most enticing sounding recipes, and started comparing the ingredients with those listed in modern Aromatherapy and Herb manuals as having aphrodisiac qualities. Oils that make you feel good, that get the juices flowing and help to awaken passion. And ended up with three delicious compositions. I took these back to my friend to experiment with. She loved all of them, and started wearing them to see how those around her reacted to them. By this stage we were all quite excited about the project, so we sent out a number of samples to friends and old customers, encouraging them all to try them and send us some feedback.
Well, the composition that won hands down is the spicy, warm,
exciting blend we sell today. My friend reported that beyond the effect it
had on those around her, she found it made her feel happy...and sexy...and,
well, full of energy and passionate about everything around her. And it
began to dawn on me that maybe we were really on to something. We’d managed
to create a perfume that made people feel loving and passionate when they
wore it. A real "Love Potion" in a perfume bottle! After all, the best way
to entice Love in to your life, is to be full of Love and Passion yourself!
It’s based on an oriental recipe from a few hundred years ago, with
ingredients you can still find in the bazaars of Egypt and Arabia. Sultry
Jasmine absolute forms the heart of the perfume, the Queen of the
aphrodisiac flowers, sweet, heady and musky and absolutely captivating. The
base is Exotic Patchouli, deep and sexy, used in Aromatherapy to connect
people to their bodies and to give a person a deep feeling of satisfaction.
Added to these come spicy mid notes of Cardamom and Coriander, both known to
energize the body and awaken sleeping sexual energy. And then the blend is
further warmed by the sunny brightness of Seville Oranges, so sweet and
tangy you can almost taste them.
Delicious, Hot, Spicy, Sexy and utterly delectable. So sexy you just want to
bite the person who’s wearing it...

Reviews :
"I bought some Love potion at the Mind Body Spirit festival in sydney the
other week, and I just wanted to say that after wearing it almost every day
since then, I have never had so many people telling me how good I looked,
that I glowed, and other comments! I also feel like I have a "cheeky smile"
on my face most of the time which is unusal for me.
It took a bit of effective selling to get me to buy it, but Im so happy I
did!!
I also received a sample of the death by chocolate fragrance, which I also
totally love! That will be the next perfume I buy!
Thanks so much for convincing me to buy the Love potion - It was a great
decision!!
Kind Regards, Lisa"
"wafts of coriander, orange, and bergamot gently invade my mind; layer upon
layer of tightly woven accords open and reveal themselves like ballerinas
flitting across the stage and disappearing behind the curtain, all too soon.
The head notes soften into a deep earthy spicy heart of Jasmine and
Patchouli – a winning couple who, in the end, steal the show."

WARNING use Love Potion with caution!
Ambrosia’s "Love Potion" perfume has become a legendary favourite with the
Pagan community, inspiring both lasting love and just one fantastic night!
It has proved dangerous when used in conjunction with rituals to Aphrodite,
with one poor fella being admitted to hospital complaining of exhaustion due
coping with the demands of the seven new relationships as a result.
Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction.
For me it has been a personal favourite both for its effect and its
delicious fragrance. It is the perfect Beltane gift for the one who enchants
you or for you to enchant the one you desire. Love Potion, it works! – YOU
HAVE BEEN WARNED!
