No. VII · A potion of Desire
The Whispered Name
Worn closest to the skin. Spoken only once.
The most requested potion in the House's history, and the one it rationed most strictly. The formula book describes it in a single line: 'for the name said quietly, the second time.'
Jasmine gathered at dusk, vanilla warmed to the temperature of skin, a musk so close it is less a scent than a suspicion. The Whispered Name does not announce itself across a room. It waits until someone leans in. Then it does the rest.
