Candied and Musky Fruits
After testing this fragrance in the store, I wrote on a piece of card that I had tested, 'Sweet Potion'. Later, when I returned home I realised that this fragrance was actually called, Secret Potion. Thinking over it now, the name Sweet Potion is more of an apt description.
This fragrance is incredibly sweet and sugary. It's not far off the cotton candy likes of Britney Spears Fantasy and Aquolina's Pink Sugar. You really have to like sugary gourmands in order to enjoy Christina Aguilera's Secret Potion.
The citrus notes, along with the passionfruit are present in Secret Potion, however they come coated in icing sugar. I find this fragrance's sugary gourmand nature oddly pleasant, however smelling it constantly could result in a headache. It's one of those fragrances that really should be applied with a light hand.
The heart introduces some vanillary aspects, with the tonka bean providing some warmth and dimension. Amber shines through in the drydown, however the candy sweetness can still be found.
Out of all the Christina Aguilera scents I've tried so far, this fragrance, and By Night would have to be my favourites. It's a pity that these fragrances are often hard to come by.
Secret Potion's sillage is quite intense, so I'd assume that it would be a huge compliment getter from those around you. The longevity was also surprisingly good, lasting around six hours on my skin. I recommend.
