Very floral

I plan on buying this every couple of months, it is that great of an aroma and ink use. It is pretty wet and takes just a little bit to dry.

Wonderful scent

Smells like my favorite flower. It reminds me of my mom. I just wish the smell would last longer especially on the page. I wish Goulet would carry more of DeAtramentis' other scents like Thunderstorm, Popcorn, Coffee, Cappuccino, etc.

Beautiful well behaved ink

This is a beautiful ink with a simple packaging and small simple glass bottle. It is marked "made in Germany" on both box and bottle with the picture of Lilac flower on it. This is a scented ink so when you open the bottle, you smell Lilac flower which is interesting. The ink is wet and flow is really good. It dries relatively fast with no feathering (I tried it on average paper as well). Because of wetness and flow, I suggest using this ink with a fine nib although it performed beautifully in a medium nib Platinum Preppy as well. The vivid color of this ink and the scent of Lilac makes it a joy to write with and I have now dedicated a Preppy to it so I have it on my desk all the time.

Lovely Color

This color lived up to the image very well. I cannot wait to try it in a pen, I had used my glass dip for the initial test. This looks like an easy new favorite.

Nice bright ink

This is a fun ink - it's nice and bright, and a very vivid light/medium purple colour verging on pink. The smell isn't very powerful, but it's enough to get an idea of it if you hold the nib up to your nose...just be sure not to get ink all over yourself.

Beautiful Ink

This is truly a beautiful ink, and it the subtle scent reminds me of home. The ink works well in both a fountain pen and with a dip pen. This ink does a small amount of shading, but blends well.

Meh

It didn't really smell like lilac, but the color is gorgeous! Maybe it will smell better once I use it more on paper.

Pretty color but...

The color is decent and it has a nice subtle scent, but this ink bleeds more than any of my other inks...even on good paper (tried using a twsbi eco fine on 90gsm and 120gsm).

Great color!

I just put this in my pen yesterday. I love the bright, happy shade and the scent is light and pleasant. It writes smoothly, is not too wet, and doesn't feather on my moleskine notebook (which is nearly always the litmus test for me!)

Beautiful Ink

I bought this for my daughter, but when I saw it, I had to have it too. The smell is very subtle, you really won't notice it if you are not trying to. The color is vibrant and just the most beautiful shade of purple. Works great in my daughter's Metropolitan, and in my Delta Unica!

Nice color

A cool pinky purple. It doesn't smell all that much like lilacs, but it does have a pretty smell

Have it for a cocktail

This lilac has become my absolute favorite ink. Such a great shade of purple, not too dark not too light but just right. Does have scent to it but the best part of ink is color. So pretty I want it in a cocktail

Nice color, scent disappears

I was very happy when I opened the sample container. Great scent, I love the color, it made me very happy. Sadly, it seems as though the scent is only there for high concentrations of wet ink. Nice color, but the scent just doesn't work as I'd hoped. Excellent if you're using an inkwell for dipping, not bad if you want the aroma when writing, but not so great if you want it to scent your letters.

Great

Didn't smell like much and can't really smell on paper like i'd hoped.

Vibrant Purple Moderate Floral Scent

Mimosa was overpowering for me but this is more something I can handle. It reminds me of lotion or flowery bath soap. The color is Vibrant and I like it a lot. If this color ink was made with a Grape scent I'd be in heaven!! But flowery is good too.

My new favorite purple!

I love this ink! I have found my new favorite purple. the scent does not smell like lilacs, but it is a light floral scent that lingers. The perfect ink for love letters. :D

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
