French term

saveur du soir

French to English Marketing Marketing vanilla
Salées, sucrées, épicées ou du soir, ces délicates saveurs ont été rigoureusement élaborées et sélectionnées par et pour les amoureux du goût

Description of vanilla products.

I find lots of references to "saveur du soir" related to tea.... can anyone explain?

Discussion

Rachel Vanarsdall (asker) May 1, 2007:
did this expression exist before Lipton came out with the tea, I wonder? Could it mean something like "sophisticated?"
Marina FS May 1, 2007:
The saveur du soir tea is from Lipton. If its coffee and its not a brand perhaps its also a special coffee for the night (not to strong). My suggestion is the same (night flavor) ou night perfume.
Rachel Vanarsdall (asker) May 1, 2007:
coffee the product in question turns out to be a vanilla-flavored coffee...

From what I can tell, this is used as a marketing term, and therefore refers to a specific product made by the manufacturer. Lipton, for example, has a line of "saveurs du soir," and the teas come in a variety of flavors. I would tend to think these teas would have "sleepytime" properties; but if it's a coffee, then perhaps not.

Another idea: if it is coffee, then perhaps it has chicory (often used as a coffee substitute) in it. I looked up one review for the Lipton saveurs du soir, and it listed the following ingredients:

Ingrédients :

Plantes aromatiques : coriandre, gingembre, chicorée et cannelle
Arôme
écorces d'oranges
Hibiscus.

more on chicory:
The root of the chicory plant is long and thick, like the tap-root of the dandelion. When dried, roasted and ground, it makes an excellent substitute for coffee. There is no caffeine in chicory, and it produces a more 'roasted' flavour than coffee does. Many coffee producers offer blends with up to 30% chicory, which cuts down on the caffeine content of your cup.

Thanks Germaine
neutral writeaway : this is marketing. you need something more than just a straight translation/perfume is a faux-ami. doesn't work at all in English in the context
1 hr
Thats why I also suggested night perfume (in ask asker)
neutral Julie Barber : Writeaway is saying that in English 'perfume' doesn't mean 'flavour' / taste - it refers to smells / bottled perfumes

evening delight

Hello,

I think they are just referring to an "evening delight"

saveur = ce qui est agréable, ce qui plaît aux sens

du soir = in the evening

This tea is simply an evening delight.
