love potion
Brewed infatuation inducer
A love potion is a magical drink supposed to make someone fall in love with whoever administers it.
The concept appears throughout folklore, mythology, and fantasy fiction—from Tristan and Isolde to Harry Potter.
In modern use, the term is usually playful or metaphorical: What's your secret—did you slip him a love potion?
