Le Petit Verger e liquid, Savourea's range duo by duo

Around thirty duos, two versions for most of them, some safe pairings and some frankly unexpected ones. Faced with Savourea’s range, anyone looking for a Le Petit Verger e liquid meets a wall of near-identical bottles where only the two fruit names change. Shops list the references without helping you decide. Yet each duo follows a logic, and the choice between the standard and the cool version changes the vape more than you might expect.

Le Petit Verger e liquid, two fruits and nothing else

A Le Petit Verger e liquid always pairs two fruits, and only two. In its standard version, Savourea presents it with no added cooling and no artificial sweetness, so that each fruit stays recognisable. The Frais version, French for fresh, takes the same duos and adds a touch of cooling at the end of the puff.

The right order for choosing is therefore simple. Pick the duo first, according to the fruit family that appeals to you. Then pick the version, standard for clean fruit, Frais for a livelier finish or if you want a 10 ml bottle that already contains nicotine.

Standard or Frais, what changes in the bottle

Both versions share the same 50/50 base of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, and the same French production under the Origine France Garantie label. Everything else differs, from the recipe to the format.

The standard version, fruit with nothing added

Savourea describes it as a clean fruit profile, with no added cooling and no artificial sweetness. It is the version closest to the fruit, and also the most demanding, because nothing hides a duo you do not like. It only comes as a nicotine-free 50 ml shortfill.

The Frais version, cooling at the end of the puff

The cooling is calibrated to complement the fruit without covering it, with no dominant menthol according to the maker. It arrives at the end of the vape and extends the puff. It is also the larger version, with around thirty recipes against around twenty for the standard one.

Formats and nicotine, with UK limits

The 50 ml bottles, standard and Frais alike, come nicotine-free in a 70 ml bottle, leaving room for one or two nicotine shots. In the UK, a nicotine shot is a 10 ml bottle of no more than 20 mg/ml. One shot at 20 mg/ml gives about 3.3 mg/ml, two shots about 5.7 mg/ml.

The Frais version also comes in 10 ml with nicotine, at 3, 6 or 12 mg, or 20 mg as nicotine salt on the product pages we checked, all within the UK ceiling of 20 mg/ml.

Every duo, version by version

Here is every duo listed on Savourea’s website when we checked, with the versions available. Names are given as on the French bottles, with the fruits in English. The family column is our own classification.

The list brings out something shops do not mention. Seven duos only exist as Frais, from Violette Myrtille to Banane Fraise, and just one only exists as standard, Fruit du Dragon Jaune Framboise Bleue. If you avoid any cooling, part of the range is simply out of reach.

Which duo for which kind of vaper

Savourea explains the logic of its pairings itself. Some duos rely on close fruits that complement each other, others on the contrast between a soft fruit and a sharp one, others again on surprise. This grid helps you find your bearings.

The orchard, the easiest duos to read

Fraise Poire, Pomme Citron and Pomme Rouge Pomme Verte form the heart of the orchard. These are easy-to-read duos where both fruits are recognisable without effort. Green apple or lemon bring brightness, pear and red apple bring softness. This is the easiest family to read.

Berries, for more depth

Cassis Framboise, Mûre Myrtille and Mûre Cassis bring together close fruits that reinforce each other. The maker describes its Mûre Myrtille as slightly tart, with subtle floral notes at the end of the vape. These duos suit vapers who find the orchard duos too tame.

Watery fruit, for summer

Pastèque Melon, Cerise Pastèque and Pastèque Citron Vert play on water-rich fruit. These are the duos with the most to gain from the Frais version, the cooling naturally extending the impression of fruity water.

Exotic duos, off the beaten track

Kiwi Cactus, Corossol Pêche and Fruit du Serpent Grenade are for the curious. The dragon fruit duos stand apart, because pitaya mainly acts as a soft background for a bolder partner, as explained in our look at the real taste of dragon fruit.

The duos the seasons really bring together

The range’s name, French for the little orchard, suggests fruit picked at the same time, yet few duos manage it. Among the duos whose two fruits both appear in the ADEME seasonality calendar for mainland France, these are the ones in season together.

DuoMonths when both fruits are in season
Pastèque MelonJune to September
Cassis FramboiseJune to August
Framboise Pastèque JauneJune to August
Cerise PastèqueJune to July
Mûre MyrtilleAugust to September
Mûre CassisAugust
Pomme Rouge Pomme VerteAugust to April

Fraise Poire, one of the most orchard-like duos in the range, pairs two fruits that never meet. Strawberries are harvested from May to July, pears from August to March. That is no flaw, just proof that an e-liquid freely combines what nature keeps apart.

FAQ

Questions that come up about the range, beyond choosing a duo and a version.

Who makes Le Petit Verger e-liquids?

The range is designed and made in France by Savourea and carries the Origine France Garantie label. Le Petit Verger is one of the largest fruit ranges in its catalogue.

Is Le Petit Verger available as a flavour concentrate?

Yes. Savourea offers some of the duos as 30 ml concentrates, to be diluted in a base for making your own e-liquid. Pairings from both the standard and the Frais versions are included.

Do you need different kit to switch from one version to the other?

No. Both versions share the same 50/50 base, which suits most clearomisers and pods. Moving from standard to Frais needs no particular adjustment, only the feel at the end of the puff changes.

Does the name mean the fruit is French?

No. The name evokes an orchard, but the range includes plenty of tropical fruit, from mango to guava. French production refers to the liquid, which contains flavourings rather than fruit.

Does Mûre Myrtille really have a floral note?

That is what the maker states, mentioning subtle floral notes at the end of the vape. If you like that side, Violette Myrtille, available as Frais only, takes the idea further by pairing a flower directly with the berry.

Choosing a Le Petit Verger e liquid duo by duo

The range reads in two steps. The duo sets the character, from the safe orchard to the most unexpected exotics. The version sets the finish, clean in standard, livelier in Frais, with the bonus of a 10 ml nicotine bottle for some duos.

Reading the orchard duos first, then the berries or the exotics, remains the best way to understand the range. The version table saves you hunting for a standard Le Petit Verger e liquid that only exists as Frais.

More blends to unpick

This breakdown is written for adults. Most vaping products contain nicotine, which is addictive, and nicotine products cannot be sold to anyone under 18 in the UK. Alchimie Fruitée reads recipes, sells nothing, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy.
