Amortentia Potion is an extremely powerful (the MOST powerfull actually) and potentially dangerous love potion. It does not make you fall in love with someone but it "but it does cause a powerful infatuation or obsession" says Potions Professor Horace Slughorn. The smell of the potion is different to everyone therefor it effects those differently. The potion must be continuously taken for the "love" effect to continue.
Does the Potion cause the Drinker to fall in love with the creator?
Whoever consumes the love potion "falls in love" with whoever gave them the potion, not necessarily the creator. The potion does not actually cause one to fall in love. It does however create a sense of love by creating an insanely huge obsession or infatuation.
How does one recognize a love potion?
There are a few sure signs that a person has consumed a love potion that include the drinker turning pale, becoming unusually happy as if they've been "hit by a ray of purest sunlight" and obviously becoming dangerously excited and obsessed with their object of affection.
How can a love potion be administered, and does the target of the love potion need to be present when the potion is ingested?
A love potion can be administered in many forms. It can either be drank like tea or ingestion through food. The Weasley brothers created their own love potion in their company Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and sold it in disguises such as cakes and couch syrups. It is also noted that the longer an item that is spiked with a love potion is kept, the stronger the potion will become. Unlike most would think, the target does not have the be present when the potion is ingested.
When a reciprocate takes the antidote to a love potion, it is suggested that they then do what, to help lift their spirits and make them feel better?
After an antidote is received than it is suggested that the one who ingested the love potion drink many spirits to help lift their mood. This is because while under the enchantment, it is likely that you've behaved very embarrassingly and you'll remember it all. Spirits usually make people more relaxed about some events.
Describe your favourite scents, which would draw you to the love potion.
My favorite scents include anything that has Vanilla in it. I love the smell of a freshly lit Vanilla scented candle. The aroma it gives off hits every single blissful spot in my body. The way my boyfriend smells is also a scent that would draw me to a love potion. His smell is very warm, fresh, breath taking, and calming. It's sort of like laundry soap mixed with freshly cleaned skin. It is indeed peaceful but never overwhelming. I would also be attracted to the smell of lavender. It's so soothing. It makes me want to take a bubble bath for some reason. It truly does bring harmony to my life.

Sources:Wiki Tasseography and HP Wiki TessomancyWhat is Tasseomancy?
Tasseomancy is used to predict events in the future. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Divination Professor Trelawney had the students read their tea leaves in which Harry saw death among other things in his cup.
What is the meaning behind the word Tasseomancy?
Tasseomancy is from the French word tasse meaning teacup. The Greek suffixes "graph", "logy", and "mancy" stand for writing, study of, and divination.
What are 3 beverages one can use to perform Tasseomancy?
In Tessomancy you can use tea, coffee, or wine to make your predictions. From tea you would use the leaves. From coffee you would use the grounds. And finally from wine would just use the sediments.
How does one perform a tea reading?
The beverage is poured into a cup without being strained. The cup is then emptied and shaken so that all liquids are drained off. Now you must look at the patterns form from the leftovers and from them determine a shape. You can then use the shapes to determine the future.
What does it mean to see a Skull in your reading?
When you get the skull in the remains of your beverage, it means that danger is ahead of you. This is one of the four signs that Harry Potter received in his tea cup readings.
What do you think of this method of Divination?
Tessomancy is a very objectionable method of Divination. It's either straight forward or you have to guess at it. Harry saw four different things in his cup. They all meant danger for him but they were still four very different things. It's too sketchy for me to be honest.
