This one's a proper sweet treat, leaning into creamy nougat and dark berries, with a hint of spice. It's a divisive scent; some find it a cosy, sensual gem, while others are put off by a persistent synthetic or 'pencil shavings' edge. Definitely sample before you buy.

A budget reading of Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle - tart blackcurrant and sparkling pink pepper drifting into Turkish rose and a warm nougat-amber base. Passionless Water captures the sexy fruity-floral-gourmand idea but the rose feels thinner and the famous nougat warmth less creamy, and it fades faster than the original's already modest longevity.
