Amortentia -
The most powerful Love Potion in the world, it causes a powerful infatuation or obsession in the drinker. It has a distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from it in characteristic spirals. It has a different aroma to everyone who smells it, reminding each person of the things that they find attractive.
In the first Potions class of Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, Professor Slughorn has a cauldron full of this potion, which is correctly identified by Hermione Granger.
Amortentia can be recognized by its distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen, its steam rising in characteristic spirals and how it smells differently to everybody according to what attracts them. We are told that Harry can smell treacle tart, the woody scent of a broomstick handle, and "something flowery he might have smelled at The Burrow", which the reader can infer by the end of the chapter to be connected to Ginny Weasley (possibly a flower-scented perfume). To Hermione it smells like freshly mown grass, new parchment, and something else that she seemed to have been too embarrassed to reveal in front of the entire Potions class (possibly connected with Ron Weasley).

Fresh cut grass, new parchment and something that she was apparently too embarrassed to say (probably connected to her crush on Ron).
