New J Herbin Brown Ink?

[HalloweenHJB]

I did a search to see if there were comments/reviews on the J. Herbin Encre Brune Parfum Cacao ink, and I didn't see anything posted. Did I miss it?

 

I just got a bottle, and it's a really warm, rich shade of cocoa brown, and the ink is fairly saturated —UNlike the other scented inks by J. Herbin, such as Ambre and Violette—. The chocolate scent is very pleasant, as well.

 

 

As the closeup may show (I'm not the greatest photographer!), there is some "shine" to the ink when the ink is heavy on TR paper. No different colored sheen, but a glint of shine, if that makes sense:

Nice how reddish is it in person? Looks kinda 1/2 way between Ancient Copper and Lie De The.

 

Love the look of that pen

It's on the somewhat redder side of browns, but not super red (like Scribes Dutch Treat Chocolate or Diamine Ancient Copper). But definitely not on the greener side of brown. Ya know?

I haven't seen anything posted on this ink until now. It is a lovely color. I hope to try this ink in the future.

I hadn't ever seen this color nor was I aware their scented inks came in the normal bottles. I've only seen them in the smaller ones.

You have beautiful handwriting. The ink looks like a nice color too. I like browns.

I'm pretty sure that this range comprises scented versions of the regular inks (my apple scented bottle is definitely Vert Pre) . This one looks to be Terre de Feu.

Interesting. I had to check on that, and you're right about this ink being almost identical to Terre de Feu. The only subtle differences are that the color of TdeF is ever so slightly more red, and EB has a thicker, more saturated texture that leaves a shiny gleam. But close enough. Good eye, John!

What lovely inks they are!

Does.... Does it taste like chocolate?

I know there are people who taste ink in reviews... but I'm pretty sure you are better off with a nice cup of coco.

I like the ink and your desk!

No, I haven't tasted it. The scent of chocolate is more than enough for me in this case!
