Comments on the packaging
Based in the north of France, Solana is an e-liquid manufacturer that highlights its seriousness and its wide choice of products. It therefore offers several range of juices to meet a wide range of vapers. The juice of the day belongs to the E-Lixirs range which is intended for so-called demanding vapers.
These liquids are recipes made up of a PG / VG ratio of 50/50 and the choice between 4 nicotine dosage 0, 3, 6, 12 mg / ml. Presented in 10 ml black flexible plastic bottles. No problem for filling your atomizers since they are equipped with a relatively thin nozzle.
For our meeting of the day, I suggest you enter a place rich in legends. Between nature, myth and magic, head to the Brocéliande forest, this Breton tourist hotspot. So what does this recipe have in store for us? A magic potion concocted by Merlin? To find out, we will have to go deeper into our magnificent forest.

Nothing is missing on the bottle except by the relief marking for the visually impaired which is only on the cap.

Comments on the taste of the juice
“BROCELANDE
“Druidically” gourmet recipe with salted butter caramel ”
Here is the description as can be found on the brand's website. So indeed, the smell, we inevitably distinguish the scent of a gourmet caramel. At the tasting we find our caramel, sweet but not too much, round, slightly creamy and balanced. It's simple, the reading is easy, the caramel is well transcribed and above all it shows itself vaporable continuously, without weariness or disgust, provided of course, to like the caramel. A good juice, gourmet but not complex for the greatest number.

My mood ticket on this juice
There is little to say about this juice in the end. A simple presentation consistent with the tariff position, a safe juice, and a simple gourmet flavor, well translated. The final score could however have been greatly improved with a simple triangle embossed on the label, (mandatory provision since 2014).
Brocéliande is less mysterious than the place to which it refers, our salted butter caramel is easily appreciated and hides nothing other than this delicacy resulting from the Breton culinary art. Good, fair, and very well balanced, our juice can suit any lover of this nice flavor, even all day.
A successful juice, but no big surprise, it's simple but in the end the simplicity is still good.
Good vape
