Louis Vuitton Or Audacieux


Tonight

Recommended Posts

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 have been meaning to give this ink a try since I read about it back in January, but have not been able to been able to buckle to it's price tag just yet! Definitely something to add to my birthday list. Thank you for posting the review!

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).

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!

Really? An online seller name would be appreciated. :)

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
