I once bought a bottle of Fendi cologne because it dried to the scent of an old baseball glove, and I knew to a certainty that men find that smell sexier than anything else on earth.

 

Lapis and I both confessed to falling in love with Paco Rabanne because of the great ads. To this day, this is an ad I remember and think of as sexy. (Oh, and Grey Flannel).

 

And yes, some of those bottles do work well for ink.

This is Noodler's Walnut. It is written in a Barnes and Noble punctuate notebook. (Edit is here) Used a Lamy Safari with 1.5mm italic nib.

 

 

 

Used in my Project FeederWatch count last year.

I'd like to add I do like brown inks. So this is a dangerous thread for me.

I haven't yet found a safe ink thread for my pocketbook.

[Misfit]

So true. I looked at new content Desk Sets. Before I knew it, I found one I liked on eBay and bought it. Didn't even start out wanting a desk set. Another thread was about Iroshizuku Kosumosu. I never wanted a pink ink, but it was called Cosmos. Cosmos were there in my planter. Had to have it. Aaugh!

[amberleadavis]

I'm afraid to try Cosmos because I like pink.

[Misfit]

I expect there are plenty of good pink inks that are more reasonably priced. (Trying to help.)

She has used (or owns) about 90% of inks on the planet.

I had help.... I received a collection of 200 samples of blue inks. I'm slowly doing reviews of all of them.

[Misfit]

200?! Wowza!

[TheRealScubaSteve]

Someone bought every blue sample from GPC and gave them to Amber after running out of energy.

Oh, how vexing! The Rubinato Seppia and the L'Artisan Pastellier Sépia are nearly identical. I mistakenly thought that the first was richer than the second. Who knew?

 

[amberleadavis]

Wow, nice comparison!

[TheRealScubaSteve]

I bet L'AP doesn't smell as good though.

TRUE. I find the Rubinato Seppia scent lingers in a way that is not like most scented inks. I like it.

[TheRealScubaSteve]

I can't smell it on the paper, but it is very strong just from uncapping the pen. Great scent, I just wish it was a bit darker. It shades but it's quite light.

Q-tip swabs

Written with a Kaweco Sport in Extra Fine, dipped

Fun with swabs. My new Konrad. It's going to get filled with some brown ink.

 

Favorites:

Macassar - Classy, dark brown

Kiowa Pecan - Rich, beautiful medium brown

Musk Green - Murky, complex blend of green and brown

[amberleadavis]

Very nice! Thank you.

You know...we are missing the exclusive FPN inks.

I was just thinking that..

 

How about some Galileo Brown?
