Comments on the packaging

Oh that's a conditioning that is fun to see! One of those who make you understand that the manufacturer has decided to pamper his customers and that, it's always fun!

A triangular box in cardboard, with the coat of arms of the range and the product, surprises, already by its form but also by its look. On the box and the bottle, the informative mentions are numerous and very clear. You know what you have in your hands. You buy knowingly and in total transparency. Trust is already acquired.

Even before tasting, we have a positive a-priori. But now, let's talk about Luxure, I salivate in advance!

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

The race to no-fault continues with full respect for legal compliance and a sense of security that is a credit to the brand.

A DLUO accompanies all these beautiful people and the bottle proudly displays a “Made in France” which gives pleasure when we imagine the people who work behind in the period of social difficulties that we are going through.

The aromas used are natural, which is always a plus and a sign of increased research work.

  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

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

Comments on the packaging

In addition to the box, we also have a nice 20ml bottle (I'm using it as long as we have the right!), In slightly frosted black glass which presents beautifully. Of course, this does not mean that this lens is anti-UV treated, but we can imagine that the protection against sunlight will still be better than simple untreated transparent glass. Especially since the label covers a large proportion of the bottle and can help in this direction.

The label, let's talk about it! At Phode, it's not just the flavorists who work hard. Graphic designers too. The illustration is very successful and obeys the characteristic charter of the range which of course evokes the famous 7 deadly sins that you may have learned by reading the Bible or by watching Seven, as desired.

La Luxure is materialized by a woman from the Roaring Twenties, undressed enough to be in the theme while being sufficiently shifted in time not to offend. You will notice that I did not show the same subtlety for the presentation photo of the juice. Ah, it's not the same time, my good lady! And I don't have a quarter of a third of the half of the talent of the graphic designers of Phode to avoid a certain gallic spirit ... 

In short, a very pretty ensemble highlighted, icing on the cake, by a feeling of relief at the level of the mention “deadly sins”.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.13/5 3.1 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

What an amazing liquid. And when I say amazing, that's of course a compliment.

Indeed, the taste impression is very compact and forces us to look carefully to find the aromas composing the blend. I can smell blueberries or a red fruit there, I don't know, this aroma is so mixed with other sensations that it is delicate to express. In any case, there is nothing obvious here and the surprise is total.

A spice is present. More obvious, it seems to me to be ginger. It is accompanied by a resinous flavor which is unknown to me and which remains pleasantly in the mouth. Sometimes, a lemon cloud perfumes the whole and communicates a saving astringency to it.

As a result, I remain skeptical. The liquid is good, without hesitation. It makes us lose all our bearings and that I like. Nevertheless, I would have preferred a greater presence of the fruit which seems to me a little diluted overall. He could thus have brought what Lust lacks a little: gentleness.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

It is better not to try too hard to increase power. Indeed, this only exacerbates the spicy aspect of the juice which then takes too much space.

Likewise, avoid high temperatures so as to lose this red or black fruit more than it is.

The aromatic power, moderate, will be satisfied with a rather tight airflow than air, while the viscosity of the juice will make it compatible with all devices. A good old-fashioned clearo, Nautilus style, will be ideal.

  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.18 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Let's not beat around the bush. It's good and that's enough for me personally. Indeed, we have in the mouth an original and new flavor, very spicy, which will seduce vapers who love new sensations. And just for that, tip of the hat.

However, I remain convinced that a new version of the recipe would undoubtedly be able to clarify the liquid a little, by putting the fruit back at the center of the debate. We would not lose the richness of novelty and we would gain in readability.

It would just take a little more frolic and less debate. And there, we would be totally at the center of this capital sin, more in the sensuality and less in the intellect.
