Comments on the packaging
We are once again a hook on the side of Bordeaux with this liquid Sweet Carnival of the classic range.
The classic range is the entry level with our friends at BordO2. It comes in 10ml plastic vials, it adopts a PG / VG ratio of 70/30 and is available in 0, 6, 11 and 16 mg of nicotine. In short, this range adopts all the codes of juices intended for first-time vapers.
I'm sure many of you will have discovered the flavor behind the name Sweet Carnival. For those who cannot see, the juice of the day takes on the flavor of the tutti frutti Arlequin candy. A great classic present in many brands, so let's take a look at the version offered to us today.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
As always with BordO2, no compliance problem with this juice. Everything is there, including the famous notice imposed by the TPD. It is hidden under the repositionable label. Only one remark on this precise juice: the bottom of the label is yellow and the writings are white, the difference in contrast between the two colors does not make it possible to correctly decipher the composition of the juice.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5
Comments on the packaging
For this classic range, we use “simple and effective”: a colored label evoking the flavor of the juice. For our Sweet Carnival, we find a kind of gradient that starts from orange, goes through pink and ends with yellow. All inscriptions are printed in white on this colored background. Of course, on the storefront, we find the logo of the Bordeaux brand in the foreground, then the name of the juice, the rest of the label being devoted to mandatory legal notices.
This is quite correct given the level of range of this product, no complaints.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
The Arlequin candy is a great classic of the vape. Normally, we must find a slightly tart tutti frutti flavor.
The smell, no doubt, we have the confectionery from Lutti, even if I find the smell not very strong compared to other juice of the same species that I have tasted.
On tasting, no surprise, a chemical multi-fruit flavor, typical of this confectionery, with its little touch of acidity, settles in the palate. It's faithful, no problem, but I find it a bit “light”. Indeed, I am not a big fan of this type of liquid, but usually they are more marked and have a greater aromatic power.
So, we could find that good because this type of perfume quickly becomes heavy when it is too concentrated but here, I find that we are probably a little too below average, which could leave fans of this confectionery on their hunger.
I will therefore say that our Sweet Carnival may be a little too wise, but it remains very correct and, for the first-time vapoteur to whom it is aimed, the dosage will undoubtedly be sufficient.

My mood ticket on this juice
So ? Nice or Rio?
Our Sweet Carnival is rather close to the carnival of Nice, wiser, less exuberant, less extravagant, than the great Brazilian carnival.
Indeed, our Harlequin Bordeaux plays on the map of the subtle. The flavor is faithful, but not very intense, probably not intense enough for a candy flavor. For me, the flavors of this category must be a little explosive, sweet, tart and chemical.
Here, BordO2 has made an ideal juice for primo who want to take off basic flavors, without being ready for more oily and rich in flavor. But for those who have already evolved on this new course, I think that our Sweet Carnival will be a bit too shy. It will not be unpleasant, but it will prove too smooth to fully satisfy this population.
In conclusion, you will not have Rio but, for those who are not ready for this type of exotic destination, a small passage through Nice will undoubtedly be able to satisfy you.
Good vape
