Herbin Bleu Ocean

[Sandy1]

Wonderful review! I was hoping you give this one a try I was tempted by Bleu Ocean, but when the Goulets' blog said it was similar to DeAtramentis Hyacinth, I chose Hyacinth instead. I love the Hyacinth ink. It's a very vibrant blue, with beautiful shading in my Ti nib. Have you compared the two? If people are tempted by the color but don't want to pay the higher price, DeA Hyacinth might be one alternative.

Hi,

 

I'm glad you like the Review!

 

I haven't tried the DeAtramentis Hyacinth. I had a nasty run-in with one other scented ink, so rather than wear my SCBA whilst writing, I've decided to avoid scented inks altogether. Though if DeA makes the same colour in a non-scented version, I'd give it a fair go.

 

I look forward to seeing some samples of the Hyacinth - unlikely that I'd smell it from here!

 

Bye,
