Be aware the addition of the scent often makes otherwise "safe" inks such as Herbin prone to staining. The Lavender & Green Apple both stained converters.

DeAtramentis cherry- I grade papers with it. My students love it.

I LOVE the idea of scented ink, and have a few, but- alas, as others have stated, the scent doesn't last long at all. Usually I can smell it only when I am filling the pen. Ah, well... Making my own scented ink is probably the way to go, I can use it only with my glass pen....

I like DeAtramentis lavender scented ink. The color is nice and the scent is very pleasant (and of course relaxing). And like everyone else's experience, the scent is very temporary and only enjoyed by the writer. But then the same can be said for the pen :-)

 

I love my Lavender ink. Overall, the DeA inks are great performers for me, though others complain about feathering. The Orchid, Rose and Plum are wonderful smells too.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I don't usually use scented inks.... though I have been known to spritz the paper with perfume. I saw it done by Frenchy in the movie Grease and assumed that was how you did it.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
