Hi all,

I managed to get my hands on a few of these inks when I was shopping for a new bag. This is just a mini-review that I done up for one of the colour.

Presentation
This comes in a glass bottle of 50ml. The colour is "Or Audacieux" (French for Bold Gold). The cap is engraved with the "LV" logos.

Mini Review
As per the name, the colour is a beautiful Bold Gold.
No bleedthrough on Rhodia paper and takes some time to dry.

Water Test

There is zero water resistance whatsoever.

Final Conclusion

An interesting ink that I probably will find some use for. There isn't that many Gold ink in the market and this being Louis Vuitton may be one for those who desires the finer things in life.

I see nice shading. It seems to be an amber color. What is the flow like?

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Bet it would look great in the Pelikan tortoise shell.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

 

I would term that this pen has "Medium" flow, that I find similar to many of the Montblanc inks. (with "Dry" being that of the Montblanc iron-gall midnight Blue and "Good" being that of the Iroshizuku).

 

Yes, the ink demonstrates nice shading, but with reference to this case, I think that the 145 nib has as part a part to play in creating the look.

I like it a lot. I find it a dark gold, pretty dark and not amber necessarily. No complaints in the least about flow.

I like this color. I desperately need to enrich my collection with this one! :)

 

Good luck with that. :) It has been discontinued for a while now. The original thread is from 2014

Thank you Tonight for your review. Golden inks are interesting and fascinating, I have tried several but not this particular one, nor have I seen an analogue test.

Perhaps one of the KWZ gold inks could be similar enough and actually obtainable now. "Aztec Gold", for example :

Otherwise it made me think of Platinum Citrus Black, if it could be mixed with a bit of Cassis Black snd Khaki Black, maybe.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

Aztec Gold was exactly what I was thinking of! ... and it is much cheeper. Platinum Citrus Black - as the whole Black series - is wonderful! Delicious!

Jup! A friend of mine told me that she saw it before Christmas. I will ask her where it was but I would guess that it was one of the LV boutiques in Munich but I am not sure that they sell online.

I would be interested to know as I tracked down some that were within Europe and was advised that they had been recalled.
