Comments on the taste of the juice
The Pomme d'Amour liquid is a gourmet / fruity type juice with flavors of fresh caramelized apple that recalls the delicacies that can be found at funfairs.
When opening the bottle, the fruity aromas of the apple are well felt with also the sweet aspect of the composition, the smell is quite sweet. The aromatic power of the apple is very present, we are here with a very slightly “tangy” apple of the “Granny Smith” type and also juicy.
The caramelized aspect of the recipe is not perceptible, it is rather sweet notes of the “icing sugar” type that are quite present which accompany the apple throughout the tasting.
The liquid is light. The homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
For the tasting of the Pomme d'Amour liquid, I chose a vape power of 35W.
With this configuration, the inspiration is soft, the passage in the throat and the hit quite light, we can already guess the slight acidity of the apple.
When exhaling, the flavors of the apple are expressed, it is “tangy” and “juicy”, a fairly faithful reproduction of a Granny Smith. Then come the sweet notes of the recipe, they are present, they are sweet of the “icing sugar” type and blend perfectly with the aromas of the apple.
The tasting is pleasant and not sickening, it is light.

My mood ticket on this juice
The Apple of Love liquid offered by Solana is a gourmet / fruity type liquid with flavors of fresh caramelized apple. Regarding the flavors of the apple, they are well felt thanks to their aromatic powers present, a slightly acidulous and juicy Granny Smith-type apple with a faithful taste.
Concerning the “caramelized” touch, it is tastefully absent, I rather feel an “icing sugar” which, on the other hand, accompanies the apple perfectly when tasting.
The liquid is soft, light and its tasting is not disgusting. A good liquid for a gourmet and fruity break.
