J. herbin discontinued/relatively unheard of Inks

[The_Beginner]

Now i understand there are quite a few, but what are some of the discontinued or newer/not commonly heard of releases that myself or others may not be aware of? I would love to hear of any you may now

 

Discontinued that i know of is the following:

 

-rouge fuchsia  which has substitute with almost a similar Rouge opera 90% identical just hue variation

- Blue lotus 1930-1940's discontinued perfume ink i have one somewhere.

 

Newer/not common heard releases That i know of is the following:

 

- Artist Creations Inks Collection Kenzo Takada Shogun

-  lemon scented ink

- Jacques Herbin Writing Ink Set Colours of Paris

- i feel the essential line is overlooked, simple true colors is what i call them

- Turquoise de Perse

- Cult Pens Exclusive Riviere de la Lune

- Artist Creations Inks Collection Nude

I have a bottle of the Shogun ink but have never opened it.  It's a shimmer ink that IIRC has both gold and silver colors particles in it.  
Vaguely remember something about the Artist Creations Inks but was not interested in it.  The others I don't know at all (but given that one is exclusive to Cult Pens, that isn't that all surprising that I hadn't heard of it).

Same here I did some deep searching nude is interesting it's a very "nude" skin color, i feel it could be used to mix things with or for painting tough one to paint though. Ya the cult pens one surprised me it looks nice but nothing to truly WOW me

Hadn't seen that particular review but do remember when the ink first came out.  Added it to an order to hit the threshold for free shipping even though I've pretty much given up on shimmer inks -- the particles don't stay on the  page permanently after the ink is dry, IME....

ah yes ive experienced this as well, hence i opted a whooooolee way to remove shimmer from ink through a tiresome process but longer run helps me not deal with shimmer

Ah.                  ...logical though.

The things I had no idea of is that mountain giving me shade.

There was a limited edition J. Herbin ink from around 20 years ago. The name escapes me. It was based on the recipe for black ink used for Victor Hugo's inks. I liked his book, The Miserable Ones, but much preferred the ink.
