Ink Review: De Atramentis Caramel

[ladyambrosia]

My full review is here But here is a scan and my initial thoughts.

 

An FPNer who wrote me a letter and used this color on one page introduced this ink to me. Instantly I knew I had to have it. Which is a little strange because I generally only use Antique browns and this is not one? Nevertheless, I loved it I had to have it. The ink is a smaller company and harder to get but once again thanks to an FPNer I found it at Art Brown (no affiliation) and ordered it.

 

This review was written again with my Jinaho F5 M nib and written on Staples Bagesse

composition notebook paper. This ink behaves nicely and lays down very wet. While it is wet it does not feather and did not bleed through on this paper, it did not show any shadows on it either. It has in my opinion beautiful shading.

Fantastic color and shading; at first glance it reminded me of both, R&K Alt-Goldgrün and Herbin's Ambre de Birmanie, but I can't really say why. Beautiful! Other ink to try. Thanks.

Thanks. I was a little nervous posting in the forum but I am happy I did. This is such a great ink. I am so in love with it I just inked about 3 of my 5 pens with it.

My first thought was "it looks like a browner version of Ambre de Birmanie". Is this a scented ink? If it is, is the scent strong? I've been thinking of trying these inks for a while but many of the most interesting colours are scented, and they cost a bit too much...
