Unfortunately Science is working on that too. Science doesn't necessarily believe anything is sacred, and scientists love to let genies out of bottles. Yes there are scientists working on the biochemical triggers for love. Specifically what generates the emotion within the brain, and are hoping to patent a drug to induce it within the next ten years. Thats right very soon you could be buying love in a bottle.

No I don't think it is cool, and I think its one mystery that should be left a mystery. Sadly scientists abhor mysteries, and the moment you tell them not to do something they either contrive a dozen good reasons to do it, or go on about doing it anyway. Can you see the commercials why wait for the right one, find a good one and take this pill once a week for ten weeks. The next Viagra hits the market. Followed closely by predatory breeders.

 Thats just it you can explain the chemical and physical properties and interactions all you want, but that still doesn't explain the "why it happened" only the "how it happened".

Really though even your example is silly.  The only genie released by a love potion being figured out is the love produced by the love potion.  It won't change how people feel about falling in love naturally and aside from that unless you think people are going to go around drugging each other and most likely have to continue applying a new dose every day or week I don't really see how that is  concerning.  Nuclear weapons are a much bigger threat imo.
