I'm betting you fell for a Kakimori  Nothing compared to the Carene of @LizEF &  @Penguincollector 

Already had the Kakimori.  AND all the Carenes except a stub.

 

This I think is from Pilot and I can't even spell it.  😹

This would be an instant hit with @mizgeorge & @namrehsnoom  

Absolutely ! Totally my type of colour. And the fact that it presents some challenges (dry, lack of lubrication, ...) makes it all the more interesting. I will definitely get me a bottle ... can't wait to try it for myself.

 

Thanks @yazeh for these great reviews of the "Colours de Paris" collection.  Interesting colours, and two true hits that resonate with me: this Les Toits de Paris, and that lovely sepia Tour Eiffel.

So far I've bought two Kakunos, this ink, and the dipping pen that might be a Pilot I can't spell…. @yazeh, what else would you like to sell me?  😹

I knew it  Actually with time, the ink left alone in the pen, would be more manageable. I'm sure it would enjoy one of your Pelikans  You might also want to look into Diamine Celadon Cat. It has the same qualities, only Green leaning. I've finished reviewing it, I should post it soon

I really like some of the 70s Pilot Pens. The F3A. It's sort of non discreet, but it has an unusual nib. And the filling system looks like a cross between an aeromatic and a stocking on the feed

This ink needs for sure some "breaking-in" regimen (or rondage in French) to be fully appreciated and be further enjoyed. But it's gorgeous indeed; Oh, the shading! the haloing! 😛

Yep with a bit of rodage and using and testing in different pens, one should fine the right combination

Don't worry, I make mistakes all the time. French is a pitfall for making mistakes. It's easier to get away with mistakes in English
