Comments on the packaging

The French Liquide and the Lips-France laboratory have used Cédric Merino-Riocher and its team of flavorists, who have signed the exceptional formulations of their aromas, for the premium range.

“Cédric is a finder, creator of the Synopsis Paris brand, he has traveled the world for years to find the most beautiful notes that nature offers us. Consultant perfumer for major French and international brands, he regularly signs new scented, unique and surprising creations. "Can we read on the brand's website.

We must admit that the e-liquids in this range are not lacking in flavor and originality. L'Esprit Volatil falls into the fruity / fresh category. Well conditioned, it has another advantage: its price.

Let's see what it is like by starting this test with conditioning.

The cylindrical cardboard box gives the bottle a double protection: to light and to possible shocks. The tinted glass vial (red) preserves the juice as well as possible, its pipette stopper allows easy filling of all types of atos. Of course, the absence of a tamper-evident seal is regrettable, yet we will see later that the bottle includes compensation. The rate of the base PG / VG is not stipulated in bulk, but it is indicated all the same.

At the price at which this liquid is sold online (and in some shops), and given its exceptional presentation, you will agree with me that the score obtained here is unjustified and that it should be better, it will be the case in some time .

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

In this section we approach perfection. The presence of high purity water in reduced proportions (around 2%) is in my opinion not detrimental to the quality of the preparation. A rectification of the protocol will soon correct this note.

Because for the rest, it is faultless, legal obligations are respected and consumer information is complete. A DLUO is conveniently added to a QR code which returns you after "flashing" to a page dedicated to your juice, where you can learn more than is necessary to say here (I am thinking in particular of the results of complex analyzes which are available for download, PDF file).

Le French Liquide can wait calmly for the upcoming application of the TPD with regard to labeling regulations, all the information appears in duplicate because it is included on the cardboard box.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • 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

Here is finally a correct note. An original aesthetic, with a retro look, preserves the atmosphere created by the name of the range: Secrets d'Apothicaire. The Sepia color of the graphics and the drawing on this off-white background is a nod to the handwritten labels of the bottles of yesteryear, which can still be seen in certain specialist pharmacies.

The originality comes from the color and the capacity of the bottle, the whole series is offered in this way, in a coherent way.

The entire packaging therefore seems to me to suit the spirit of this premium range, both sober and expressive, while respecting the practical requirements of conservation and handling.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The smell is an indefinable fragrance reminiscent of a dessert with rose petals coming out of my grandmother's oven in the last century ... It is very particular, powerful floral and fruity.

To taste only the menthol note is certain but not dominant, this assembly contains fruits.

I deliver to you immediately the composition announced by the French Liquide for its volatile Spirit: “This creation is a tribute to the Antilles and their collection of generous and unique flavors. Mango, passion fruit and pineapple compete for their sweet notes, berries and a note of mint add a touch of freshness to this composition ”. Because children are vaping !!!… If you do not know this description you will not be close to finding the particular components mentioned above.

It is first of all an explosion in the mouth that the mint finishes in freshness. The assembly does not dissociate, in the sense that none of the fragrances described takes precedence over the other. The result is pleasantly sweet and fresh. The mint once faded leaves the mixed fruits a lasting expression, the fragrance of a powerful rose, is found in "basic taste" as if each fruit by this association and its proportions, could not express its own particularity. A global and original flavor is born, balanced and ample, even the added berries are impossible to detect with certainty.

Le French Liquide and its team of creators have created a delicious, innovative and refined nectar, the kind of addicting and fresh juice that is vaped all-day. At any time, personally, I found it very good, it would not surprise me however that it upsets some precisely because of this indefinable feeling that it leaves, the unknown that one cannot describe with certainty or the known that cannot be detected. A powerful yet sweet juice at the same time, we also feel a tingling, maybe the combination of a peppermint, mango and nicotine causes this perception close to the ginger effect without the taste and much less pronounced?

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Spirit Volatile supports to rise reasonably according to the montages. In the test configuration, 30 W does not denature it. The normal power values ​​are also very suitable for this fruity that you can vape warm or lukewarm without any problem.

Its originality of rendering allows everyone to appreciate it in their material without restriction, by accommodating the rendering according to the airflow openings. It would be a shame, however, to miss out on the finesse of these cleverly combined aromas by using ULR mounting and power to produce a locomotive plume. This juice is tasted, it is worth it.

For 12mg / ml, the hit is not particularly strong, the scent density and the freshness of mint attenuate it. A good quantity of vapor for a 50/50 with the assembly used, the liquid is fluid, clear and does not clog the coils.

Recommended Moments

  • Recommended times of the day: Morning, Morning - coffee breakfast, Morning - chocolate breakfast, Morning - tea breakfast, Aperitif, Lunch / dinner, End of lunch / dinner with a coffee, End of lunch / dinner with a digestif, All afternoon during everyone's activities, Early evening to relax with a drink, Late evening with or without herbal tea, The night for insomniacs
  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: Yes

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.47 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

The Secrets of Apothecaries are very good premiums.

If I preferred to add a Top Juice mention to this review, it's because the Volatile Spirit completely surprised me with its originality, the balance of its composition and the accuracy of this touch of freshness. A rare combination of pleasant sensations, the good length in the mouth, and the fact that the vial has disappeared during the day, made me realize that this assembly has something more, worthy of appearing somewhere, so I do not know finally not how to explain it, so it will be a Top juice.

Considering moreover an almost impeccable packaging and a fair price, it would have been a shame not to comfort the authors of these meritorious efforts.

You may not agree with that and want to express it here, I encourage you to do so, and will be happy to respond to any comments.

See you soon
