I think I've found my replacement for the (more bluish) version of Poussiere de Lune that I had. This ink SINGS in my Eversharp Symphony B. *inky bliss*

Wow, that looks like super shading ink, too! At least in your Symphony. Nice job!

What a lovely ink! I thought I would never buy a purple ink but I am very much tempted to do that now!

It reminds me a bit of the Visconti Purple that everyone was raving about a while back. Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison? Because I'm guessing that the AA is a lot easier to get hold of....

Not really a color I would use (a little soft and too much on the blue-violet side of the spectrum for my personal tastes) but I do like the shading. How does it do in a narrower nib?

Sadly, I've not used the Visconti, though I'd love to! ...So I can't personally offer a comparison there.

It *is* more bluey than some purples, which is why I like it. I have a version of PdL that is much bluer than some samples I've seen, and the newest reformulation, which is far more red, does nothing for me. I'm glad to have found this substitute as my PdL seems to have gone chunky.

As for narrower nibs, IIRC, I had first tried this ink in a Safari M, and it was okay, but I like it MUCH better in a wider, wetter nib. I think it'd be pleasant in smaller nib sizes, but it really shines in wetter, broader ones.
