Comments on the packaging
We continue our journey through time and the history of France with this new opus from the Millésime range from Nova Liquides: the Napoleon III. Always composed of entirely natural aromas, Vegetable Glycerin and propylene glycol of vegetable origin, this juice confirms the credo of the brand which bets on greater healthiness of a product based around components from our natural environment.
Like the other liquids in the range, the packaging is very rewarding and above all in line with what we can expect from a Premium juice. The black box struck with the royal lily was perfectly suited to royal juices and less to an imperial juice which would have been better suited to an eagle but I'm joking, it's classy and contains a very informative bottle that does not overlook the aesthetic bet succeeded, nor on the necessary information. I just want to add that the exact proportion of VG is 65% and not 70% as indicated above but although we revise our protocols regularly, it can still miss some nuances…. Fortunately because if we were perfect, we would become boring and above all we would no longer have any room for improvement. 😉
It is a great pride for a columnist to have to review a liquid so sumptuously staged, especially when he is French. France shining in the world as the country of luxury and taste, I can't wait to see if the ramage relates to plumage….

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Delivering a sumptuously presented e-liquid without being sure of its perfect security transparency would be like selling a Ferrari without guarantee. Nova understood this well and Napoleon III is a reference in the matter. Nothing to complain about, nothing to criticize and not the slightest complaint… I would be almost bored if I didn't know that the taste test is coming soon…

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
The whole concept of the Millésime range takes on its full dimension on the packaging of the Napoleon III. Not only is the box beautiful, but the bottle is too. While classic sobriety with black and white values and silver color, the general design serves the purpose of a range turned to our history. The card contained in the liquid transport tube is a real added value to the vape experience, it tells us about the last French emperor while skilfully making the link with elements more focused on the taste content. Everything is perfectly written to make our mouth water.
But since the water requires too high a temperature to evaporate, let's go to the table and taste this liquid!

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
On inspiration, we have a greedy, complex liquid, the thread of which is not easy to untie. A vanilla cream, slightly caramelized or seasoned with a sort of brown sugar but in any case more complex than it seems at first glance. Then, on the exhale, we smell a sophisticated blend of citrus. Orange, bergamot (?), Maybe also a touch of clementine shape a new citrus fruit with diffuse but very interesting contours. There is also the presence of a spice difficult to determine which adds a very subtly herbal note. Everything is perfectly put into the recipe and each aroma finds its place for a powerful overall taste that leaves room for a rather strong hit. The end of the mouth note is interesting because it still mixes gourmet reminiscences and a bitterness which avoids weariness.
The comparison with the Queenside of Five Pawns is essential because the two juices evolve in the same spirit and especially at an identical level of quality. I would say that the Queenside is more precise in the flavors it offers but that the Napoleon III is more mysterious because it juggles with a beautiful skill between sweet, sour and bitter. One is more obvious, the other less. But the mere fact of comparing a new juice to an undisputed benchmark of Premiums says a lot about the potential of this excellent vintage.
In short, a juice tailored for fruity / gourmet lovers of which I am not really a part but which will undoubtedly seduce and easily find its audience. Especially since it is offered at a very correct price in view of the packaging, the concept and the quality.

My mood ticket on this juice
Napoleon III having apparently been a lover of British culture, he will undoubtedly forgive me this Anglicism: it is a strike !!!
Gourmand and fruity, all in complexity and nevertheless very addictive, the Napoleon III is certainly a pavement in the quiet pool of the best international premiums. His taste is powerful and tenuous, he kisses your mouth with strength and conviction and leaves leaving a fine sweet and bitter signature that makes you hope for his return. All in a packaging at the level of the imperial ambitions of his name.
Comparison with the best juices of the same type does not put it at a disadvantage. On the contrary, it assumes its leading juice script with its inimitable taste which will delight gourmet / fruity lovers and they are legion.
Well, since there isn't even the slightest roughness to hang on to to express my natural nastiness, I'm going to go for a walk in the Landes on a beach in the shade of pine trees. Damnation, I can't because it is also to Napoleon III that we owe it….
Looking forward to reading you.
Papagallo.
