Nope, I don't think so. My novel's illustration depict them all as men in their mid-fifties

Description of Jekyll, from Chapter 3: Dr. Jekyll Was Quite At Ease

"To this rule, Dr. Jekyll was no exception; and as he now sat on the opposite side of the fire--a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a stylish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness--you could see by his looks that he cherished for Mr. Utterson a sincere and warm affection"

A lot of Servants are summoned with the appearances of their younger selves. (Shota Alexander, and Medusa noted in her My Room line that it is her form before she was cursed with snake hair.) So I think Jekyll also was summoned as his younger self.

The only thing noteworthy about his potion is that he used a huge amount of pure salt for it. The salt is the main ingredient of the potion, and it's so important to the point Jekyll sent his butler around the entire London looking for that one particular pure salt.

Jekyll's draught, from Chapter 10: Henry Jekyll's Full Statement of The Case.

"I had long since prepared my tincture; I purchased at once, from a firm of wholesale chemists, a large quantity of a particular salt which I knew, from my experiments, to be the last ingredient required; and late one accursed night, I compounded the elements, watched them boil and smoke together in the glass, and when the ebullition had subsided, with a strong glow of courage, drank off the potion."

Maybe because he fits the criteria of "adorable kind young man with secret deadly personality"? I know a friend who thirst after him too. His appearance and personality perfectly fits the ideal criteria of a man in young girl's eyes. A lot of anime fans also love the idea of split-identity characters. [Including me]
