Smelling Ink

What pen is this? Thanks for showing.

 

 

 

Looks like a Cross Botanica. They're pretty pens. How do you like it?

I really like the colours of Sailor inks. But their smell makes me .

Waterman inks had a distinctive smell many years ago. But after they chnaged the ingredients, it's gone.

Have you smelled Sailor’s Souten or Yama Dori? I found those to be very pleasant, as a perfume connoisseur. I should check my bottles of Rikyu-Cha and Tokiwa Matsu. Sei Boku as a pigment ink smells more chemical.

[Nyanzilla]

Yes. I've got both. I cannot stand that smell. Even on the paper it smells.

Therefore I prefer the Iroshizuku inks which have no or only little smell.

A few inks smell outright vile. Noodlers polar inks and Bril indian inks smell nightmarish.

 

KWZ smells like cream soda, so I'm down with that.

 

Also think sailor inks smell like fresh rain to me.

I like Texas BlueBonnet.

I don't sniff ink bottles and don't smell ink unless the ink compels me to. Sailor inks say "smell me". With smooth nibs and impeccable flow, its smell is probably the only thing to remind me that I am writing.

 

Outdoors with wind, I can hardly smell. The smell is more obvious in confined and air-conditioned spaces. And when I am refilling the pen.
