I've tried several purples (Diamine Damson, Pelikan Violet, J. Herbin's Violette Pensée) and this is the one I prefer. The others are lovely (esp. the Herbin), but for me purple is a "special" color -- I tend more to use black and blue inks. Poussière de lune I could use as a daily ink.

I really like the subtle, subdued nature of this culture. It has this essential duskiness that just has me coming back to it. I used up my sample pretty quickly, and am going to have to go back for a full bottle.

I like dark purples and this is one of them. I have not used it in a while and only in a M nib. I will have to try this out in a 1.1 stub.

I preferred PdL much more prior to the reformulation. It used to be pretty darned water-resistant, too.

Looks like close to private reserve burgundy myst but with a darker shading

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Oooo, this is my all-time fav ink... the only ink that I finished a whole bottle so far. It was the only ink I had back in the "dark ages," before it became so easy to purchase ink from the on-line stores. Such a unique, special shade of purple... so beautiful...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
