If you are a fan of the horror genre, your Love Potion would have hints of Forbidden Forest
There’s nothing like a good scare – whether that’s picking up that Stephen King book, settling down to the latest horror film or making your way through a haunted house. It’s all about that burst of adrenaline that courses through your veins. If this is a sentiment that speaks to you, then we know what your Love Potion would smell like… the Forbidden Forest. If you want frights and thrills, you need look no further. The Forbidden Forest is a seriously spooky place to be – full of creatures like Acromantula that think you make a tasty snack and foliage so dense you can barely see the path ahead. You would love how frightened you would feel there, and that twisted love would be reflected in how Amortentia smells to you.
If you are a bookworm, then your Love Potion would smell like Flourish and Blotts
Real life can be a rather dull place. Luckily there’s books. A way for you to escape the humdrum and monotony of everyday life and dive into a place of endless possibilities. A way for you to gain knowledge you didn’t know you didn’t know. And a way to escape boredom any time it finds you. If this is something that resonates, then we think Amortentia would smell like Flourish and Blotts to you. It would give off the scent of leather-bound books, crinkly pages and wooden shelves. As your truest love is reading, then we’re pretty confident a bookshop with a thousand worlds at your fingertips would be your favourite place. How could your Love Potion smell like anything else?
If you are an outdoorsy person, you would detect notes of Hogwarts grounds
Are you the type of person who hikes? Do you have that Labrador energy that means you have to get outside at least once a day? Do you feel calmest when immersed in nature? If yes, then you sound just like the outdoorsy type. The type who loves nothing more than being surrounded by the sky, the grass… even mud. As a person with this energy, we think your Love Potion would have hints of the Hogwarts grounds. The scents of all the magical flora found in the Herbology greenhouses. The smell of the rain on the sloping lawn. The aroma of the giant pumpkins in Hagrid’s patch. These scents would draw you in, put you at ease and make you feel right at home.

If you are the sociable sort, you would get wafts of the Three Broomsticks
Who doesn’t love a good catch up and a gossip with friends? Listening to their news, trading stories and laughing until your sides feel like they’re about to split. That is what makes your heart feel full and motivates you. Plus, it’s always fun to have these catch ups in places that inspire community – like your local pub. Based on all of this, we think all you sociable folk would smell the aroma of the Three Broomsticks in your Love Potion. Just imagine the scent of a crackling log fire, topped with the butterscotch notes of Butterbeer – delightful. Friendship and fun are two of your top priorities and this would be reflected in the Amortentia.
If you love love, then you would smell the inside of Madam Puddifoot’s teashop
Valentine’s Day is the best. Who doesn’t like to celebrate love? In fact, love should be celebrated every day. The people you care about should never question your love for them. Luckily, as a love connoisseur you make sure they know just how you feel – whether that’s through grand gestures, small gestures, or any other type of gestures to be honest. But Valentine’s Day is your holiday. It’s made for you, and you love it when people go all out for it. You want all the decorations, themed food, music – the works. Madam Puddifoot’s certainly did that. That tearoom was a haven for lovestruck couples on Valentine’s Day (Harry and Cho excluded), filled with golden cherubs, confetti and a vibe that speak to your positive, perky soul. For you, Amortentia would capture the essence of romance Madam Puddifoot’s exudes.
