Agreed - I hadn't gotten to the love potion conclusion, but I rather 
thought that Hermione had mistaken what Ron's gift actually was. JKR 
does her usual thing of cutting off the conversation, so we don't 
know if Ron was going to explain (not a love potion, maybe 
concentration aid or some other useful potion? ) or not (love 
potion). All we're told is that Hermione thought it was an unusual 
perfume.

That's a very good point actually.  I wouldn't make sence to have a funny 
smelling love potion after all.  And if it was another type of potion, 
concentration, memory, whatever, it might smell funny, or even not be exactly viscous as 
perfumes are, which would be why she would hesitate to say "nice" and instead 
settled on "unusual."  After all, What would you say if someone gave you a 
lumpy perfume?

Point in fact, considering his financial situation, he might have made the 
potion himself, further contributing to the odd smell/texture/color.
