Comments on the packaging

Here we are today on Mount Olympus and I am not talking here about the 22km high Martian volcano which is the highest peak in the solar system but rather the legendary lair of the Greek gods, with its 2917m height which not only makes it the highest point of Greece but also a legendary place of antiquity.

It is Hermes, messenger of the gods and master of thieves, who receives us in the marble hall with his famous winged helmet. 

Conditioned in a frosted glass bottle and equipped with a pipette of the same metal whose spout is thin enough to fill the looser of atomizers, the liquid displays auspicious transparency by indicating all the information necessary for the consovapotor to be at safe from any surprise. It's crisp and clear.

We owe this liquid to Vapolique, a French company of engineering and manufacturing of e-liquids since 2013 which has met with certain success but has vocation to extend further with this premium range of Dieux de l'Olympe which, according to all of them have interesting taste characteristics. Moreover, for information, the entire range also exists in concentrates for DIY makers. 

Let's see that more closely.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

It's perfect, there is not much to complain about. The brand has taken the measure of the security issue displayed in order to avoid future problems with PDT. It is crystal clear, as is often the case in great French vaping. 

I will not unfold to you the long litany of legal conformities, already exposed above, but I will just add that the batch number is accompanied by a DLUO, always useful. I would like to remind you that a DLUO is an Optimal Use Deadline and that exceeding this limit does not make the juice dangerous for all that. It can just undergo an alteration in its taste and nicotine power, but it remains quite consumable.

In addition, a DLUO does not exempt you from keeping your liquid away from light, in a place where there is little temperature range.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

Apart from the fact that the manufacturer uses a frosted glass for its bottle, there is nothing to get up at night to admire the packaging of Hermès. 

It's honest, made primarily to be informative, it's not ugly and the illustration is directly related to the name of the god. It would even be rather nice if the label was of better quality but the chosen paper is a little cheap. The print fades or deteriorates quickly and everything is sensitive to humidity. Which, for a container of liquid, is a shame especially if you want to keep your juice long enough. A laminated label would have presented much better in my opinion.

Apart from this downside which has no influence on the general quality, everything remains correct. 

Sensory appreciations

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes

  • The taste and the name of the product, do they agree ?: Yes
  • Did I like this juice ?: Yes
  • This liquid reminds me of: A Cinnamon Danish Swirl from S&S Mods but softer. A creamier Kanel Bullar from Allday.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

Come on, let's leave the bottle to focus on the essential: the taste!

Well, it's a strike! I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but when it's orchestrated with such precision, my taste buds tilt… and in a good way. This liquid is very good.

We can feel the spice well but it is incredibly softened by a creamy vanilla which serves as a gourmet support. The pecan nut is discreet but plays its role well and type the general flavor in a very nice way, inclining it even more towards a pastry sweetness, half cake half cream, devilishly seductive. We are on a long liquid in the mouth, soft and thick, which immediately seduces and can be vaped over long periods as its taste is constant.

A beautiful recipe, perfectly mastered by the flavors of Vapolique that can only convince lovers of gourmet liquids well done.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Hermès tolerates power, temperature and consequent drafts well. Normal for a winged god, you might say. You will taste this liquid at best in a reconstructable, tight or airy or even in a dripper. Regarding the viscosity of the juice, no need to make it do pirouettes on montages typed big clouds. On the other hand, its aromatic power makes it completely compatible with clearomizers, even very airy.

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.58 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

My visit to Olympus started damn well with a Top Jus. Even if the liquid does not reach the 4.60 necessary for the automatic granting of this distinction, the balance of its recipe is such that its flavor largely compensates for the few shortcomings in terms of packaging.

Come to think of it, even if this juice had been delivered as a suppository, I would still have granted it this Top because its taste is like the one whose name it bears, divine.

Hermès' message went well and it delivers excellent taste news that surprised and seduced me. 

A crush on a liquid that keeps your head. Winged, of course ...
