It's dark and subdued enough for note-taking and drawing. So far most of the reviews on this have been positive (though the dryness was mentioned)so I guess it's still worth sampling?Citrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199668831634182275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860888006551868713.post-31311762971336124672013-02-17T23:25:42.440-05:002013-02-17T23:25:42.440-05:00Nice, I was curious about this colour (and Habaner...Nice, I was curious about this colour (and Habanero... but I think that one is more orange).

I think they are just playing the card that fountain pen users have a bigger likelihood to like classical music (as they are both somewhat detailed and old-fashioned?), which seems like a smart move to me (at least I buy it).

Not a typical J. Herbin ink, it is rich and intense. At certain angle, you can see the sparkle. <br /><br />Most musician inspired ink is a bit random. De Atramentis put one out a couple years ago, and I seriously think it is just relabeling of its existing ink.
