I thought it was diabolic herb, too, but it didn't work. The second time around, I got it right. Water lily, blue essence, succubus leaf, (empty slot), green essence.
Same here! haha It's cool how it's described (something like "wait a little before adding..."), but I didn't notice what it meant until I tried to make Aphrodisiac.
I really like the crafting system in this game. The herbs and their combos are cool.
