Comments on the packaging
Ah, greediness. What a sin so little capital but rather venial and especially so French!
In this astonishing range of the 7 Deadly Sins, if there is one that concerns everyone, at least in the vape, it is this one! Like his six colleagues from all kinds of orgies, he arrives well protected in a box whose triangular shape is interesting and original. Like these debauchery brothers, the packaging is admirable and gives pride of place to great transparency on the part of the manufacturer.
This is how we learn, in addition to the information useful to the consumer, that the flavors are natural and that's good. Here reigns the most idyllic clarity, far from the hell that one imagines when one has committed the 7 sins in a row.
As for me, after Lust, I attack Gluttony. And yes, at my age, some things make you hungry!

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Speaking of safety for an e-liquid called Gourmandise, what does that mean? Whether you should put on a napkin or not eat with your fingers? For Lust, I can see the style of utensil needed, but for Gluttony, what's left? Coi.
In any case, you don't risk anything with Phode. Everything is perfectly compliant and totally secure. We even have a DLUO, always a good indicator when we do not quickly consume our e-liquid, which is not my case, or to check if this 50% promo on the e-shop you prefer was good and well a case for you or for them ...
Nothing to say, it's nickel chrome!

Comments on the packaging
Notwithstanding the box of which we have already spoken and which happily takes up the information appearing on the bottle, we are in the presence of a frosted black glass vial decorated with a clear label, white background and illustration in pastel tones.
It's very aesthetic and it does not differ from the rest of the range, decidedly well mastered, both in terms of taste and design.
Gourmandise is symbolized by a maelstrom of ice cream from which emerge spoons and forks and gourmet mouths wide open to take action. It's simple but very meaningful.
But that's not all, it will still have to be good!

Comments on the taste of the juice
Beginning to be used to the atypical signature of the range, I was expecting very special flavors. Error, Gluttony is a more consensual juice that joins many other typical gourmet juices market.
This is not a fault because the liquid is doing well. If we except a rather weak aromatic power which can however be an advantage to make it an allday, we can only be seduced by the mixture of cream and shortbread which is the support of the assembly.
The real surprise comes from some scents of concentrated milk that spend time on the palate and that give all its originality to this liquid. A condensed milk a little caramelized, sweet and sweet.
The recipe works well even if you don't really smell the promised banana. At least, I confess that it escaped me and so much the better because I'm not a fan of diets in general and banana diets in particular ...
Only one regret after ten milliliters of vapor: aromatic weakness. Otherwise, it's good and sweet. To be interspersed with another juice to feel the surprise each time we come back to it.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Avoid too much airflow which will be harmful to the already weak flavors of the liquid. In a mid-tight draw and in a lukewarm vape, Gourmandise works well and even supports a certain power without being distorted. Try to favor a very precise atomizer in flavors so as to fully appreciate the assembly.

My mood ticket on this juice
A real good gourmet juice whose only flaw is not enough. Too bad, we will be satisfied with it for specific moments of tasty lightness and there, it will work very well! Especially with that little thrill of condensed milk that still remains on my tongue. Yum !
But Gourmandise is made, and it's a shame, for gourmets who appreciate pastel and sweet flavors. The main advantage? There is no risk of disgusting you at any time. The collateral advantage? It won't be sending you to hell anytime soon!
