Comments on the packaging
The # 3 bears all the interesting scars of the luxury range offered by Claude Henaux. We are therefore pleased to find a very high-end presentation which confirms the goal sought by this product: to seduce lovers of flavors for intense taste moments. Unlike an allday, we can therefore expect an original and intense juice that will only be vaporized occasionally, in the same way that you do not empty your Cognac forty years of age every day.
Noble aspiration corroborated by the price of 24 € which, if it seems high in absolute terms, must be absolutely put into perspective. By the presentation first, which has not cut corners on the investment to offer a juice as beautiful as it is good, then by a noble blend, refusing any aromatic compromise and the ease of additives, sweeteners and preservatives to stay as close as possible to the precise flavor of the ingredients chosen.
At the information level, we have everything that is necessary at the time of the choice to know who we are dealing with. The nicotine level prominently, the PG / VG ratio and a detailed composition. It's as clean as it is beautiful. And it's not much saying.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
To do better than perfection seems difficult. And to those who will answer me that perfection is not of this world, I will answer that yes, I met her and I married her! 😀
Tamper-evident seal, triangular relief marking for the visually impaired, clear and complete pictograms, legal warnings and batch number ... are the non-negotiable bases of what one expects from a European juice at a time when the specter of the TPD extends its shadow over our continent. But to add to that a DLUO and a number specific to each bottle, it was necessary to think about it. In addition, this unique serial number must have generated printing costs not comparable with what is usual. But nothing was too good to offer a demanding clientele neither more nor less than a perfect product.

Comments on the packaging
There are the vials that are thrown away after use. And then there are those that we keep. And I bet this one you'll keep it. Indeed, the bottle is magnificent. A very aesthetic rectangular bottle contains your juice just like perfumery. The thickness of the glass alone tells you about the care that the manufacturer has taken to the smallest detail of his work.
Around, you will find a corrugated cardboard box which ensures the protection but also a sympathetic presentation, between artisanal box of custom-made perfumer and packaging of a great wine vintage.
The label, on an anthracite background, presents the logos, names and basic information and is adorned with a commedia dell'arte mask and a feather, undoubtedly in discreet homage to a famous radio program which celebrated its sixty years of existence and which has always carried high the values of French culture. It's probably less sexy than Nabilla's breasts but we are not really in the same type of culture…

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
Extreme freshness, subtlety and realism. How to reconcile these three factors in a coherent taste equation? Many have tried, many have broken their teeth. The answer may well be given to us by # 3.
First of all, what do we have there? A well-defined blend of mints dominated by peppermint but which hides within it hints of spearmint. The whole is refreshed by menthol crystals giving us a typical cold that stays in the mouth and does not go down in the throat. This winter effect is very powerful, justifying the nickname of the juice (- 273 ° C, which is absolute zero, the one during which you cancel your vacation) and lovers of this sensation will be in heaven!
But the most remarkable thing is that this freshness does not cannibalize the aromas and each mint remains well discernible despite the freezing ray of the menthol. And the secret lies in the absence of sugar which ensures that each aroma retains its realism and integrity. Well done then. Fans will appreciate that realism and taste are not sacrificed on the icy altar of a Norse deity ...

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
This liquid goes almost everywhere. And its aromatic power serves it perfectly. But I advise you to take out your best ato to pay him the tributes he deserves. A reasonable power will suffice because the hit is multiplied by the presence of menthol and the vapor is dense and white. A liquid easy to consume everywhere, very fragrant for those around you. Be careful however (I have not checked), I still recommend the use of a metal or pyrex tank to avoid a PMMA fracture ...

My mood ticket on this juice
Another excellent number in the range of Claude Henaux. Although not particularly fond of cold sensations, I can only recognize that the liquid remains well defined despite the freshness and that the mints do their office with realism and flavor.
Not to mention the formal perfection of the packaging which will seduce many vapers in love with elegance. If the price can get cold too, I don't find it so high if we put it into perspective by the amount of cosmetic and taste details that have been cared for with love and passion.
Another good number. Luxurious and friendly, a gentleman.
