Havane - L'artisan Pastellier

[visvamitra]

L'Artisan Pastellier is french ink / calligraphy materials producers. They offer two lines of inks suitable for fountain pens: CALLIFOLIO (inks made for fountain pens, neutral PH and so on) andENCRES CLASSIQUES (not all of them may have perfect properties however I've tried most of them and had no issues in my fountain pens).

Soon I'll prepare comparison of all 36 colors (there are two new Teodora and Olivastre) but it'll take time. Maybe November?

Havane is nice, warm sepia. Not the best there is but decent.

Heh, I see this one didn't manage to stir much interest I've managed to get new pack alu of this one and, surprisingly, it looks different than the ink reviewed above. Has anyone except me ever bought it? Has anyone tried it and could say if his ink is similat to first or second review? They look much different.

 

Anyway I tend to re-do some of my reviews in order to get them standarized (same paper / pen combos). Below you'll find pics for Havane:

Wow. I haven't tried either one, but if I'd gotten the second I'd be unhappy.

Vis, you are the curator of inks at a library in Poland, right?

 

You're a Spartan! That's a compliment, btw.

Didn't really like the original version but . . . the latter version has sparked my interest. No idea why but there's something about it that I really like.

 

Hmm. Me and pinks do not get on but this is "vintage pink" so it counts.

 

Thank you, again.

[Tas]

Vanness' swab looks like your second post.

[Chrissy]

I'm not keen on either of them, but wouldn't have expected so much variation. If forced to choose one or the other, then the pink has something different about it.

[visvamitra]

Well, these two are definitely different inks Now I'm asking myself which one was alabelled correctly I've checked Vanness and L'Artisan Pastellier site and it seems the one from post yesterday is Havane. Hopefully someone will add review of it in the future and we'll be able to compare the results.

It may well be me. I'm planning a seven ink order - mostly thanks to you but started by migo984 who kindly gave me a bottle of Gris de Payne that's almost empty

Eww the second one is disgusting... It's the colour I hate most. Kinda like a Rouille d'ancre colour.

[visvamitra]

@Tas - you'll enjoy them, I'm more than sure

@Lgsoltek - Rouille d'Ancre is cool, Havane isn't

DON'T !

 

I've needed a seventh ink to take me over the 25 Euro minimum order threshold. If you dissuade me now it'll be ages before I place an order.

[visvamitra]

@Tas - you may enjoy it, I, on the other hand think Rouille d'Ancre to be coolest and strangest pink ever, one I actually like. This color is bizarre but I can't help it - I really like it. It's my shameful secret. If you're not sure about Havane Olivastre is perfect, Sepia is nicely subdued, Anahuac is very nice orange-amber-brown (I've rereviewed it here, I guess I'll repost it on FPN - the quetion is should I create new topic, ask mods to change reviews or just post everything under the orignial review?)

[Tas]

Grrr.

Now I have to look at Rouille d'ancre reviews.
