Yep it sure does.

 

I actually wish they offered a glitter-free version, because I like that blue very much.

The original didn’t. It’s a flat uninspiring blur that way.

My bottles of Bleu Ocean (2-4 years old) don't/didn't have any of that jazz. ITM my very most favourite blue of all time (alongside S.T. Dupont's Bleu Nuit / Dark Blue (Réf. 040111). Terrific flow, maintenance, and, no glitter

Like other people said, the original version did not have the metallic dust in it. A lot of us found that to be very disappointing -- not only after Rouge Hematite (I have a bottle with the big flakes), but because of all the hype involved when Bleu Ocean was released. And honestly, IMO, if they had done silver dust (the way Rouge Hematite had the gold) it would have been stellar looking.

I have a sample of each version and, truthfully, found both to be somewhat underwhelming. YMMV

Learn something new every day. I honestly never knew there was a glitter-less version prior to this one.

Just filled my Pelikan m250 demo, fitted with a delicious, springy OBB vintage nib, with the last milliliter I had. Of all the ink I've tried (not so many, actually), possibily my favorite -only it did not agree with my main writer. IMHO, it's too bad Herbin added sparlkes. I just love the deep, creamy blue, the smoothness of this ink. I intend to take notes with it until the last pico-drop, enjoying this fabulous Pelikan nib, and having the pleasure to look at the ink color both on paper and in the ink chamber. 

 

Merry Christmas.

      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..

      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
