Thank you for sharing your views of this ink with us. It is indeed a very nice "soft" color & I am glad you found the scent pleasing.

 

(The pen & ink are perhaps one of the best "matches" I have ever seen!)

Thanks from me too, and the first thing I thought of -- as a comparison -- was the chiku-rin, but you've nicely nailed down a lot more.

Only distraction I see is the price (70.00 Euros or $85.00 for 50 ml). MB inks seem to indicate a never-ending rise in prices.

[white_lotus]

I'll pass. This ink looks simply horrid to me. Sorry.

[CS388]

Thanks, Michael. Excellent review.

 

The colour doesn't work, for me. I shan't be buying it.

Agree with lapis, re ink pricing of the boutique inks (not just MB) Becoming prohibitive, as 'user' inks.

Then again, bought a bottle of Red Chine which was worth every penny - and still have a fill or two in my old Winter Glow bottle - so, sometimes it's worth it?

 

Excellent pen and penmanship, as always.

Thanks.

Well if you like, have fun with it.

But my 65-year-old Montblanc-256 says, "70Euros!, Nah, I'm good".

Thank you for a great review! I'm glad reviews like this exist, so I can know I definitely don't need this ink in my life.

[AndyLogan]

Thanks for the review Michael, I see you used the champagne realo.

Love the review ...

and especially the pics and comparison

 

ink is not for me though

Beautiful hue, but I know for sure it would bother me how pale and translucent this ink is for writing purposes (and the price would bother me very much as well). Thank you very much for the review!

[Gloucesterman]

Thanks for the review and it's not for me.

 

I even had difficulty reading it on my monitor for the first time. Guess I will stay with Noodlers, Diamine, and other MUCH less expensive inks.

 

Oh yes and I currently have more ink than I will ever use. Thank goodness for the September 15th Commonwealth pen Show "in Boston".

Way too illegible on the page for me. But thanks for the review -- reviews of inks I WON'T want are way better for my wallet....

What happens then with excess ink? Are you referring to the ink testing table?

[Gloucesterman]

I am not sure what happens.

 

And no, I am not referring to the ink testing table. These are my own inks and I will probble end up selling the one's I choose to get rid of.

 

Stop by anyway and say hello.

[Intensity]

Oh I’m definitely coming to this one! Missed one last year but came to the show a year before that.

[RudraDev]

Love the color, but the Elixir collection retails for way too much money here.

Thank you for preparing this review.

I especially appreciate the handwriting examples.

Montblanc Elixir Parfumeur Vetiver Green has written well for me.

The scent is faint yet perceptible.

For adding botanical highlights to sketches, it's ideal.

Very interesting color!

[SamCapote]

Thanks for the review. Looks too washed out for my liking.
