I've tried several purples (Diamine Damson, Pelikan Violet, J. Herbin's Violette Pensée) and this is the one I prefer. The others are lovely (esp. the Herbin), but for me purple is a "special" color -- I tend more to use black and blue inks. Poussière de lune I could use as a daily ink.

Yeah I agree. I just feel like its not lubricated enough. I like gliding on my page ;P

I really like the subtle, subdued nature of this culture. It has this essential duskiness that just has me coming back to it. I used up my sample pretty quickly, and am going to have to go back for a full bottle.

I like dark purples and this is one of them. I have not used it in a while and only in a M nib. I will have to try this out in a 1.1 stub.

I've used it a bit and I think it is a gorgeous ink.

I preferred PdL much more prior to the reformulation. It used to be pretty darned water-resistant, too.

Looks like close to private reserve burgundy myst but with a darker shading

Oooo, this is my all-time fav ink... the only ink that I finished a whole bottle so far. It was the only ink I had back in the "dark ages," before it became so easy to purchase ink from the on-line stores. Such a unique, special shade of purple... so beautiful...
