Comments on the packaging

Nova Liquides, the well-known French manufacturer, has decided to invest in the Premium liquids segment while introducing the particularity which is the signature of the brand: the exclusive use of natural flavors.

A lot of controversy exists between natural flavors and artificial flavors. Some claim that artificial flavors are more harmless, others claim the exact opposite. Nova-Liquides wants to demonstrate with this range that well-produced natural aromas, through clean and controlled extraction, can compete in terms of taste power with artificial aromas while being devoid of residual petrochemical molecules existing in aromas resulting from synthesis. Other manufacturers such as VDLV have carried out experiments in this direction and personally, I ask only to believe it. We will therefore see in the chapter of taste if the promises are kept.

The Millésime range therefore offers us a journey into the history of France by showing the names of the great kings or emperors who presided over the destinies of our nation for the eight juices in this new range. We note with a pleasant Gallic chauvinism that Nova-Liquides enters the Premium through the front door with a design as classy as possible: black, white and silver, on the box or the bottle and transparency in terms of information. which does justice to the brand. All information necessary for the consumer is clearly indicated. 

Definitely a thunderous beginning which announces a fascinating debate on the points to follow….

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 hard to do better when it comes to safety unless you deliver a chemist with the juice! It is a flawless performance that vividly demonstrates that the brand has taken on the importance of not playing with safety, especially in the months to come. Exemplary cleanliness that adds extra pressureelementary to the competition. The Millésime range is here to do battle and it is welln trained! Special mention for the presence of a DLUO.

Comments on the packaging

To put it simply, I will limit myself to saying that I have never had such a successful packaging in my hands. The concept we have already spoken of serves as a keystone to the aesthetic variation. Thus, we find a round and black box, very classy, ​​which is reminiscent of the packaging of Five Pawns which seems to be the reference that Nova Liquides has set itself to achieve a high level of execution. 

Speaking of execution, we are here in the presence of the Louis XVI and a beautiful card included in the packaging tells us both about the reign of the monarch and the composition of the juice. This is an undeniable plus because, for a price all in all much lower than the premium references already mentioned, we also have a fun, educational user experience and a guide to flavors to navigate better. It's nice and well in line with the concept. Well done!

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

When we strip all e-liquid of its packaging, its price and any other consideration, the essential remains: the taste. This is what defines everything in our common passion and which remains the ultimate experience. Just by the smell, sometimes, you can tell that this experience is going to be a great moment. This is not a 100% reliable guarantee but sometimes a simple indicator which in any case contributes to the pleasure of the olfactory and gustatory senses that is the vape. Here, the smell is enticing, surprising but terribly greedy. We already feel that we are on a juice that will mark us.

At the first puff, we guess a complex, surprising liquid, where various influences are already revealed. The first remark is undoubtedly the power of the taste. We are on a frank, massive flavor, not shy and too modest. The liquid is delicious, creamy without being disgusting and gradually draws, puff after puff, a very complex recipe whose outlines we manage little by little because each aroma remains precise and discernible. We have a vanilla cream slightly imprinted with cocoa butter in which sometimes the distant echoes of a milky coconut seem to reach us. And yet, on the expiration, we also notice fresher, almost green and cereal notes. It seems impossible to discern all the depth of Louis XVI as the recipe has been developed with a meticulousness that commands admiration. 

The Louis XVI is good, it is even exceptional. Not only in its complexity but also in its taste. Because even if we do not want to decipher it, we can only be conquered by its voluptuous flavor which will delight gourmets of all stripes. And will also surprise them by presenting with great homogeneity the subtle differences between inspiration and expiration. Creamy and greedy in the first case, cereal and milky in the second, Louis XVI leaves an inexplicable but very pleasant green element on the back.

The vapor is abundant and the hit surprisingly powerful, undoubtedly boosted by the presence of PG of plant origin.

My mood ticket on this juice

I am seduced beyond my expectations by this juice which largely keeps all its promises. As soon as I saw the packaging, I said to myself: “Voit has a response to certain very high-end American liquids ”… And on the balance sheet, I don'tI can only say that the level of quality attained here, with this Louis XVI who has kept his head, is equivalent to that of the Five Pawns. Bien heard, this e-liquid will please or displease but it will be impossible not to admire the work of ant completed to obtain a potion from this barrel. It's good, delicious and surprising while not being incongruous. A certain idea of ​​the new vapology pushed here to its paroxysm. Crunchy, really crunchy and beautifully served by an extraordinary concept and packaging!
