This one surprised me. On my monitor, this looks like a slightly more saturated version of De Atramentis Carmine Red (except it should be a lot easier to find than D.A. Carmine).

This one pleasantly surprised me as well. I was thinking more of washed out color. It's fast become one of my favorites.

I once bought this colour accidentally, and while I have no use for it, I like it, it's pretty in its own way. It reminds me of lipstick.

Nice review! Just bought some of this and found my results to be like yours. I've also tried it for some underlining in a book and it's nice with a fine nib.

Noodlers Ottoman rose is an excellent color if you're into the burgundy-reddish vein of inks-- which I am big time. This one is only second to Caran D Ache-Sunset in my books. Also, Visconti Burgundy is a top choice for me.

I have bought many inks over the past few years. A lot of them never really "took off" with me, but I am still using the Ottoman Rose at least once a week, three years or so after I bought it. It is a very nice colour, even though I no longer believe it to be a clone of vintage Sheaffer Persian Rose (which was my original motivation for buying it). It flows wonderfully, even when it has been in the pen for a long time, and it has never caused me any trouble - which is more than I can say for the couple of pinks that I bought, even though Ottoman Rose has some pinkish tones. Highly recommended.

Hello. You did a great job w/ the Ottoman Rose. I just happen to be looking at this ink for purchase as I don't have a color in a "pinkish" tone. I have all but. From your review, the color looks more RED than I expected. Does it look lighter or more pinkish in reality? I know there is some loss or gain in tone or tint in the translation from bottle to pen, to paper, to scanner or camera to the 'net, then to the FPN page to my monitor. Whew.... I have: Diamine
Ancient Copper and Oxblood that appear close to this in the "red zone". Is this ink more pink than it appears in your review? I don't want pink, but a more fuscia color. I've heard the Ottoman Rose is similar to this as well as Edelstein Turmaline and an Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki. Have you seen these colors and have any opinions or options that may help me? I would greatly appreciate your help. I have OCD and am at my wits-end... Please help if you can. Greatly appreciated, LeRoy

A few strokes of the sample of this one, and it instantly became my editing/grading ink. Not red-red (which I've never liked), not pink: a great in-between that pops off the page. I tend to want darker colors for extended writing; this one (for me, at least) truly is more for accent, mark-ups, or other tasks where it needs to stand out. But really lovely.

 

ETA: not even close to Ancient Copper (which I use as a primary color), in my experience. More of a pinkish-red.

      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
