Comments on the packaging
It's the turn of Fresh Mint, the last liquid of the XL range offered by D'Lice in my possession, to be dissected.
D'Lice is a French brand of e-liquids created in 2011 after a trip to the United States made by its creator where he discovered the electronic cigarette.
D'Lice offers in its catalog many juices with various flavors among which are available recipes ranging from the simplest to the most complex. The XL range includes some of these juices considered to be “Best-Seller” but this time, the liquids are packaged in large format ready to vape, the bottles allow a maximum of 75ml.
The liquids have a capacity of 50ml and can be adjusted with rates of 3 or 6mg/ml depending on the number of nicotine boosters added directly into the bottles. The ends of the flasks can be unscrewed to make the operation easier.
The base of the recipe displays a ratio of PG / VG of 50/50 thus offering a perfect balance between vapor and flavor, the nicotine level is originally zero, not surprising given the quantity of juice in the bottle.
The Fresh Mint liquid is also available in 10ml format but with, for this variant, a recipe base whose PG/VG ratio is 80/20. This version is displayed at a price of €5,90 and offers nicotine levels ranging from 0 to 18mg/ml.
The Fresh Mint from the XL range is advertised at a price of €19,90 and thus ranks among the entry-level liquids.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
D'Lice is one of the main French e-liquid brands and has always worked for full compliance with safety requirements on e-liquids and containers.
The brand has thus obtained AFNOR certification for its juices. We can also find this certification thanks to the QR Code present on the label of the bottle which directs us to the detailed safety sheet of the product where we also find the data relating to the conformity of the bottle and the various data present on the 'label.
The presence of certain components involved in the development of the recipe and which can potentially be allergens is indicated. The flammability of the liquid and its vapor is also mentioned with its informative pictogram.
Finally, a detailed product safety sheet can be downloaded directly from the site. How not to be more specific on the matter!

Comments on the packaging
The design of the bottle label is relatively sober, a white label with a fairly well-made “icy” effect on which the various data are written in blue.
Despite the simplicity of the label, all the compliance requirements seen above are present. These data are relatively clear and easily readable, all the usual pictograms are displayed there even if the product does not contain any nicotine substance.
The packaging is well finished, it is correct.

Comments on the taste of the juice
The menthol flavors of the liquid are immediately perceived when opening the bottle. At the olfactory level, you can really feel the presence of a strong and slightly sweet mint, the flavors are realistic and pleasant.
The Fresh Mint liquid is a fresh and minty juice whose aromatic power is very present in the mouth and relatively faithful. We are here with a rather strong and intense mint, not very sweet, reminiscent of the taste of certain sweets.
The fresh notes of the recipe are not overdone and seem to come naturally from the minty flavors of the composition. These refreshing notes are natively caused by the pronounced taste intensity of mint.
The chilly touches of the recipe are not too aggressive, they become delicately accentuated over the course of the tasting and last a short time in the mouth at the end of the session. The gradual rise in freshness is relatively pleasant and allows the mint flavors to be both “strong” but still subtly sweet and bearable in the throat.
The homogeneity between the olfactory and gustatory feelings is perfect, the controlled and intelligent dosage of the fresh notes allows the liquid not to be “violent” or boring.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Fresh Mint tasting was carried out with the addition of 10ml of nicotine booster to obtain a rate of 3mg/ml. The cotton used is Holy Fiber from HOLY JUICE LAB.
The power is set to 40W so as not to have too “hot” vapor and to somewhat attenuate the intense notes of mint as well as these fresh touches felt at the maximum at the end of tasting. The taste balance is, for my part, at this level, well balanced and pleasant.
The base of the recipe with its balanced PG/VG ratio allows the use of this liquid in any type of material. Beware, however, of the 10ml version of this juice whose composition of the recipe differs and displays a PG rate of 80%, the liquid will then be much more fluid, it will be necessary to be vigilant as to the material used to avoid possible leaks with this variant.
Recommended Moments

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.59 / 5 
My mood ticket on this juice
This is a liquid whose taste is really well worked and interesting. Indeed, the flavors of the mint are tastefully very realistic, a “strong mint” type mint and whose fresh touches which are not too “violent” seem to come naturally from the minty flavors of the recipe.
The freshness of the liquid does not attack from the inspiration and is rather felt in a staggered way, it is accentuated especially at the end of the expiration. These refreshing notes linger for a short time in the mouth at the end of the tasting.
The Fresh Mint liquid obtains its "Top Juice" within the Vapelier thanks in particular to the taste rendering of the composition but also to the perfectly balanced fresh notes whose graduated appearance is really pleasant and pleasant in the mouth.
