Comments on the packaging
Charles X, or CX for friends, is one of the juices in the new “Millésime” saga from Nova-Liquides, of which we have already read a few pages. This range, resolutely oriented “Premium”, offers us an interesting concept through a historical journey declined on the most outstanding crowned heads who managed France.
Through a perfectly transparent and very informative packaging, the brand imposes a level of quality that is already reflected in the bottles and packaging that is reminiscent of Five Pawns. Given the level of the reference, Nova cannot elude the slightest detail to reach the same qualitative summit.
In any case, the adventure begins very well with a perfect and very endearing conditioning.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Vapers are well aware that the TPD will be applied in France even if we are still unaware of its contours. There are those who grumble, those who defend us, those who have resigned and there are those who assume that it is better to apply draconian safety standards so that the public authorities only have to to see that the ecosystem of the vape manages very well to self-manage without the need to legislate with the chainsaw. At Vapelier, we are actively campaigning with manufacturers or importers to go in this direction because we do not want certain e-liquids that we like to be banned on French soil for a crooked label and 10 cents saved .
That said, Nova-Liquides has nothing to worry about on this side, the compliance of the product is a benchmark of its kind and the exhaustive safety notices, pictograms, warnings bloom on the bottle like lily of the valley in the month of May. It's healthy, impeccably included in exemplary packaging and demonstrates that with work, you can achieve perfection in terms of safety.
As for the religious mentions that are so debated (lol), we can think that Charles X having been very pious, his e-liquid can be vaped by drinking mass wine….
Appreciation of the packaging

- Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The packaging is brilliant and underlines with refinement the concept of the range. Black, white and silver cohabit happily in a very aristocratic box and bottle. I would like to underline the exemplary work of the designer who knew perfectly how to capture and illustrate the story that Nova Liquides tells us through this range.
The little extra lies in the bristol card included in the box which tells us about the short reign of poor Charles as well as the taste elements that we will encounter in this e-liquid. “We can do without it, we don't vape a box or a card” will answer the grumpy people. It's true. But at 14.90€ for 20ml, which is a very correct price, we can be more positively satisfied with the fact that Nova does not care about the heads of its customers when we see certain much more expensive juices delivered in unsealed plastic bottles. . If you buy a car, you certainly won't refuse if the seller offers you free options, right?

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
We know that Nova has bet on the use of natural flavors for the assembly of its recipes. Once again, the bet is won! The taste is powerful as it should be and demonstrates that one can very well achieve fullness with natural flavors as well as with artificial flavors. But there is more. Indeed, there is banana in this juice, a rather ripe banana, slightly caramelized and this one has quite the taste of the banana, the real one and not an ersatz Haribesque.
Not to mention that if the banana imposes itself on the inspiration, it is quite different on the expiration or dried fruits that I have trouble identifying mingle happily with the main element. Everything is milky and delicious and undeniably brings to mind a finely prepared cake, with even the hint of salt that can sometimes be guessed. Everything is not too sweet and therefore vape without any disgust.
An excellent juice. And it's starting to do a lot in this range which really decided to strike a blow because for the moment, I have not tested any juice which has left me hungry. This deserves a big thumbs up. And, if the goal was to attempt a Five Pawns-style poker game, well, it's an absolute success! And all this for a perfectly correct price for the quality presented.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
To vape in a reconstructable atomizer or a good dripper to feel all the nuances, the viscosity of the liquid in 35/65 automatically disqualifying it for normal clearomizers. The liquid can increase in power depending on the device chosen but will be best served at a lukewarm temperature which highlights the flavors that make it up.

My mood ticket on this juice
It's funny how quickly you get used to vaping good liquids. As I progress in the discovery of Millésime juices, I notice how much the goldsmith's work that this range required must have been arduous, punctilious and twenty times overworked. Because it is difficult to find the slightest roughness or to make the slightest reproach. The recipe is delicate and complex, the aromas are stunningly realistic and the vapor is voluptuous and intoxicating.
In addition, the range offers something for all tastes and all palates. But always with the same care and excellence. Beyond this Charles X who wears the colors of France much higher than the king in question, we can only salute this fabulous work to obtain a range of complex liquids, recipes with string and all worthy of appearing in the best vapotheques.
I make my reverence in front of so much talent. But as Nietsche's saying goes: “Talent without work is just a dirty habit” and I can only salute also the work of the noses who have lovingly watched over the cradle of the juices in the range for our most great gourmet pleasure.
Looking forward to reading you !
Papagallo.
