Comments on the packaging
Opening a vial of Thenancara is always an event in itself. Whatever we hope to find in it, we already know in advance that the surprise will be there and that the magic bottle contains an e-liquid that will have taken hundreds of hours to concoct.
Premium brand if there is one, Thenancara does not play. Each of its products is a breath of originality and quality. The brand working with great talent to maintain its status by organizing its sales network with precision, it is not so easy to find but the game is often worth the candle and after some research, we come across an e -shop which offers us the dive potion for an admittedly high price but in line with the taste ambition of the brand. Moreover, Thenancara is well known abroad where this “French Touch” is very popular. And for good reason…
The packaging does not contain a box strictly speaking but a velvet sheath which seems to me not only more suited to its content but also much more classy. Of course, you don't vape a fabric case, I see you coming and I agree. But, when you pay a ceiling price for a juice, you are entitled to expect the best services and Thenancara understood this well. In tune with the entire range, the Antartica is therefore perfectly equipped in this area.
In terms of information for the consumer, we are on the perfect, nothing less. It just goes to show that you can be handsome and intelligent at the same time ...

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
An intelligence that can be found in the heavy chapter of safety notices that the brand respects with application. All that is important and legal is found on the bottle and participates in a total seduction of the vapoteur by reassuring him about the quality and the safety of what he buys.
We note the presence of alcohol. Nothing very abnormal in my opinion, it is a compound widely used in vaping for the dilution of aromas or for better preservation of flavors. Alcohol is also used as a flavor enhancer and to date, no study invalidates or validates its use in the manufacture of an e-liquid. So it's up to you to know if you practice the precautionary principle in a balanced or outrageous manner. But I still want to point this out for people who have known issues with this substance. This also disqualifies the juice for practicing Muslims.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 
Comments on the packaging
A black velvet case stamped with the logo of the brand.
A dark cobalt glass bottle which is a guarantee of excellent conservation of the contents in the face of aggressive solar rays.
A label featuring the brand's logo, the name of the juice and the two creators' signatures, printed on high-quality paper whose texture alone is a remarkable eye-catcher.
And the famous house adage “Vapor Voluptas”, closely derived from the well-known “In vino Veritas”. And both are very true ...
It is no longer a packaging but an inventory à la Prévert and moreover the presentation of the Antartica is poetic, artistic and evokes in a nutshell the taste pleasure that we imagine.

Comments on the taste of the juice
A liquid called Antartica should be cool, to say the least. He is.
Moreover, it is the first impression that one feels at the first puff. A cloud of freshness typical of menthol crystals invades the mouth and seems to settle on the back of the palate. Then, we feel a softer, greener and slightly sweet mint. It seems to me to guess a very diffuse eucalyptus aroma and an accompanying sweetness, like a veil of sugar that lands on the tip of the tongue.
The Antartica is a complex liquid and the recipe seems to have been weighed with finesse to release freshness but without excess and then leave room for an impressionistic array of diffused aromas but giving a coherent and very pleasant whole when you stop wanting identify to better enjoy it.
The freshness remains in the mouth for a long time after the waltz of flavors but, if it is strong, it is never bothersome.
I'm not a mint fan but if I had to only vape one it would definitely be this one.

My mood ticket on this juice
The mints category is much richer than you might think in terms of subtleties. Between wise mints and insane mints, there is sometimes a gap in the creation of an e-liquid.
The fans are numerous and sometimes deserve, at the turn of their daily vape, to take a gastronomic break with a juice like Antartica which, if it will not unsettle them, will make them discover that we can also put mint. as a recipe and suggest a whole herbal and sweet imagination, behind an expected freshness.
Another very good e-liquid from Thenancara, undeniably, and which will have, by its subtlety and the quality of its aromas, the happiness of also pleasing the detractors of the category, of which I am a part. But faced with such a realization, it is difficult to do otherwise than bow.
