Comments on the packaging
This “Dark Story” range is served in a 20ml smoked glass bottle. Of course, the traditional pipette will allow you to easily fill your atomizer. The price is in line with the category of French premium liquids. Only complaint…. it is only a 20ml bottle, or as the logo on the photo tells you, I really like this juice and I would have liked to find a larger capacity, let's say 100ml especially given the consumption of atomizers of today.

Comments on the packaging
The packaging is at the top, even if I think that the exercise was carried out without much originality. The label surfs on the imagery created around privateers and other pirates by the film Pirates of the Caribbean, in my opinion the urge to call the liquid Black Pearl must have crossed the minds of the designers, but I think that the duties would have been too substantial to decline the liquid and its profitable vial. So on the label we see a boat parked in a supposed bay, with a gigantic moon in the background. It is very beautiful for those like me who like this “pirate” atmosphere, but it is clear that it is not full of originality.
This dressing however sticks perfectly to the flavors of the liquid, but will be discussed in the next section.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5 
Comments on the taste of the juice
The smell leaves no doubt there is a good old rum, and vanilla, it reminds me of a Bahamian spirit that I tasted in my debauchery youth. When you vape it, again, rum comes first, vanilla, almond and caramel all three together to counterbalance this alcohol towards an exotic sweetness. But beware, rum is the central character of the story and it does not let anyone dominate it. In any case it is right on the hair compared to the theme of the label, if Jack Sparrow had to start vaping, no doubt it is this juice he would choose.

My mood ticket on this juice
This liquid because of its name, its announced flavors and the visual reference makes you think of the world of piracy as a result: it has already come 50% of the way to conquer me. The warm, fragrant atmosphere of the Caribbean islands, paradise of this corner of the world literally inhabits this liquid. Like all kids I dreamed of these adventures populated by cruel but valiant bandits, symbolizing independence and rebellion. Today I am vaping this universe, the rum of character softened by vanilla, caramel and almond transports me to these islands where everyone dreams of going one day.
I am therefore won over and even if all this is not very original it is very well “marketed”, I can only bow to this perfect achievement.
For me this liquid can become an all day, it will come out at any time of the day or the year. Be careful, however, it is reserved exclusively for rum lovers because the character of this alcohol dominates and even if a suave sweetness of vanilla / caramel invites itself on the trip, the rum remains master on board.
A liquid top for me.
Thank you Alfaliquid
Good vape, good wind
