Lovely moody red. The ink performs well for my purposes. My only complaint is that I wish the scent was a little stronger. The cherry smell is distinctly present but very faint.

Goulet Pens seen my other review where I didn't receive my sample of this ink and the immediately corrected it. That's a HUGE statement about their customer service! So now that I have gotten to try this ink I can say I like it. A nice pleasing spring scent that stays for a bit even after it's dry. I think it will be nice for thank you letters and stuff like that. It just kinda makes you feel better catching the little wafts of cherry. I wish I knew if it would last long enough to still have the scent being mailed

I have no idea if the De Atramentis Cherry is really scented because I received Diamine Holly instead of what I ordered. Instead of calling and complaining about a $2 ink sample I just let it slide and planned on ordering again at a later date. But since you asked for a review... I will be happy to update this when I do get a chance to try it

One of the best smelling ink I got

From the many inks which I've tried, de atrementis' scented line is by far my favorite, they don't tend to feather too much, it smells fantastic, the color is so vivid, just be careful with sunlight as this can greatly discolor the ink! The flow is fantastic, it takes little time to dry, you can get some shading if you're into that, but most importantly for me, the ink doesn't feather! By far my favorite line of inks.

Neat! Great scent and a good ink, nice color.

Excellent. Delicate scent, lovely color.

Love the color!! Love the brand!! Love the deep dark saturated colors of De Atramentis inks!! The scents are a fun bonus when writing

Like the brand, like the color, like the smell.

I adore this ink: it's like writing with the blood of a mystical animal. Especially with a stub nib on good paper, it SPEAKS. The color is akin to an actual dark-red bing cherry (definitely no maraschino!). It feathers a bit on lower-quality paper (ex: post-it notes) but is excellent on better stock. Nicer paper also highlights its gorgeous shading, very attractive. The ink tends not to try super-fast, so I have to be mindful not to smudge it until it sets. (It would be nice to see a smudge test on the product page here.) The scent is fun while writing/filling, but doesn't linger. I bought this as a sample, and I highly suspect I will find myself with a bottle before long.

Lovely colour, and definitely scented in the pen, although I couldn't detect it on the paper after writing.

In the vial and in the pen, it smells amazing. On the paper the scent isn't too noticeable, but the ink color is vibrant and write smooth. It feathered a bit more than other inks, but bleeds about the same amount as other inks.

I'm known as Miss Red Pen for my editing work and I also love all things cherry, so this was an ink I had to try! It's scented and smells nice, if a bit chemically. This isn't the bright red I'll reach for frequently for work, but it's quite pretty for writing letters.

The red is a lovely dark cherry true to it's name but I didn't find it that exciting to write with. The scent is very good though as you're using it and even on thin paper it doesn't feather. There is a bit of bleed through so just be careful.

I didn't find the ink to be overly scented, which could be a good thing I guess. The shade was nice. But the ink seemed kind of thin. I much prefer J. Herbin rouge opera for scent and strength of color. Also it was hard to get a good fill from the sample vial.

This ink may be the most RED, RED, RED substance I've ever seen. Very attention getting.

Definitely can smell the cherry scent as you write, but it disappears after dry. The ink is a nice color, but bleeds more than others. Prefer Diamine Syrah.

This one is perfect. Gorgeous!You know the big, heart-like shaped, deep dark red cherries. This ink is exactly like those cherries. I love them and I love the ink. Beautiful dark red colour with nice shading. The scent is there, but fades away really fast, but you can enjoy it when opening the bottle or writing :)
