J. Herbin was established in 1670.

M. Herbin was a sailor, and from his many journeys to India he brought back to Paris formulas for manufacturing sealing wax. His special lacquer formula improved the quality of the seals in adhesion and neatness, helping him to become famous throughout the kingdom.

J. Herbin is also the oldest name in ink production in the world.

By 1700, the company was producing “l’Encre de la Tete Noire,” followed by “Perle des Encres,” (The Jewel of Inks) and “l’Encre des Vaisseaux” (The Ink of Ships).

J. Herbin made ink for Louis XIV, and a black ink for the sole use of Victor Hugo, author of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables. These formulas still reside in our company headquarters in Paris.

At the moment company belongs to Exaclair Inc, that has rights to brands like Clairefontaine, Rhodia, Brause or G. Lalo.

J. Herbin offers 30 standard colors:

Colour yekkie not mine

Das leben ist wie ein Perpetuum Mobile mit ein Mangel..... Immer im Bewegung jedoch nicht unendlich. (life is like a troubled Perpetuum Mobile ever moving but not for ever)

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Beautiful color. I've had it inked in a Pelikan M205 for the last 6 months and my 10 yr old has it in her Lamy Safari.

This might be one I really need to try. Thanks for the review.

Visvamitra - a lovely review as usual, though the wrong conclusion. :)

 

I am a big fan of this color as it is quite vivid without being too pink. I use it as an exclusive ink in a pen my wife gave me and also in a demonstrator pen.

 

To each their own I suppose. Thanks again.

I just do not like these too-blue magentas. This one looks dusty, as well. And one-dimensional. There's just nothing interesting here (for me).

 

Compared to a nice magenta like Yama-budo, well... there isn't really any comparison.

Yes! this is the Rose Cyclamen I talk about. Admittedly Yama-Budo have its own category, and I like that too! The only Iroshizuku I have, but it was worth the price to get.

I think it's a little chalky.

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

I like the color but found myself rarely using it, maybe for some copyediting once in a while.

Now I reserve it mainly to refill highlighters, where it works well.

My 8 year old daughter chose it for her first FP - a Faber Castell school pen, and she loves it! The pen is remarkably good too.

My daughter (9 yrs old at the time) chose her own fountain pen last year (Neon Coral Lamy Safari) and the first ink she filled it with was J. Herbin Rose Cyclamen.

Not really part of my color palette, but thanks for the review.

Interesting, that new sample, is much brighter.

This is one of my most beloved pinks, it is bright, vibrant and just fabulously frivolous. Is the paper above ( Platinum 3776) cream/ ivory? If so, a great match, the shading is lovely. Thank you for this review.

      >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.
