I found it to have too much Yellow, more than even an Olivine Green. Under-saturated, even though I used a wet Medium nib. I would not recommend for Fine nibs. No Shading, Sheen, nor Shimmer. Could be difficult to read back on some papers. Definitely not my taste in Green inks.

J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage is a very enjoyable ink to use. It has a pleasant color, and it flows very well. I enjoy wet inks, and this is one of the wettest inks I have used. It dries fairly slowly, and it is helpful to know that.

iNK FLOWS SMOOTHLY THRU MY MT BLANC PEN COLOR IS CONSISTANTAND STAYS GREEN ON THE PAPER NO FADING

I love J. Herbin inks - they are top quality inks and I call them safe inks because they always get on well with all my pens. This is a fantastic colour, bright, intense, dark green. It flows wonderfully and leaves a nice wet line with reasonable drying time. Highly recommended.

Beautiful bright green with all the excellent handling characteristics that are characteristic of Herbin inks.

I love the color. It's SO GREEN! It feathers some on notebook paper but is fine on copy paper in my Pilot Metro.

It feels like something you could get out of a ballpoint. Not really any shading. Very little to recommend it unless that's the look you want.

Absolutly live this color!!!! Vibrant in more fine nibs and more rich in more broad nibs. Both give a nice shading. Favorite lighter green ink!!!

I have become a great fan of the J. Herbin inks. This is a wonderful shade of green, has very nice shading!

A very nice green color (wild ivy); has no apparent tendency to gunk up the pen when it goes unused for several days (which is important to me). This ink seems to flow very freely. It's also a bit more expensive, being imported. In spite of the price, I think this is the green I will be carrying.

When I think of green, it looks like Lierre Sauvage. Would recommend.

This is a nice, crisp spring/summer green. It's fairly close to a true green, without being obviously yellowish or blueish. It's on the light side and will stand out as a markup ink, but is definitely dark enough for regular handwriting.

The first time I wrote with this ink, I wasn't very happy with it. It seemed like an expensive formulation of Noodler's Gruene Cactus on lesser quality paper. When used on better paper, I found this ink to shade very well, going from a true green to a dark green-black. The ink is well behaved for the most part, but it dries slowly (as I've seen in similar green colors)

This is a very true green shade which I really liked. But I didn't care so much for the performance. It had a lot of shading but dry time was unacceptably slow. That's too bad because I thought it was a great shade of green, I just hate to wait for ink to dry.

Very nice ink in terms of hue and performance. Average wetness, good flow. Nice shade of green, may be my preferred green now...

A pretty, fresh green with a moderate amount of shading. Nothing too exciting, but if you like a middle-of-the-road green that doesn't feather on cheaper paper, this is probably a good choice.

This is my go to favorite ink. Love the color. Makes me feel like a Harry Potter Character. Wish it came in a 100cc bottle. 1ml=1cc. There you learned something today.

It's a marvelous color. Easy to read, fun, and interesting. Excellent shading. It's my go-to green.

This is one of my favorite colors. In my Vista with a F nib, it goes on wet and bold, dries quickly and is a very attractive green. Goes on much lighter in a Preppy. Nice shading.

J. Herbin is one of my favorite inks, but when my local art supply store stopped restocking it, I had to look elsewhere. I love this ink. It's one of the safest inks you can buy, and there is great color variety. If you have a color in mind, J. Herbin usually has it. The service from Goulet Pen Company was also wonderful! I ordered online while the DC Pen Show was underway, so I knew it would take longer to receive my order than normal. It was nice, however, to receive email notifications throughout the process, telling me when the order would ship and when it had shipped. I didn't have to wonder when it would arrive. I also received a lovely, handwritten note from Brian - a very nice touch! Personal service can be hard to find, and Brian definitely provides it. The order processing is hands-on, very fast, and not at all stressful. I recommend both J Herbin ink and the Goulet Pen Company for everyone. You won't be disappointed :)

A medium green, a bit lighter than what I think of as ivy green, but attractive nonetheless. Like all of the J. Herbin inks I have tried, this one was well-behaved, with low saturation and a fairly short drying time.

J Herbin inks are a joy to use. Each color I try becomes a favorite. Lierre Sauvage my favorite green, Violette Pense my favorite violet, etc. Same goes for Rouge Caroubier. These inks flow beautifully and pens clean up nicely. Highly recommend you try J. Herbin.

I'm just starting with fountain pens and trying inks. I wanted a nice green and decided to try the Lierre Sauvage. If the other J. Herbin inks are as good as this, I'll be buying more

Another fast J.Herbin ink, but a lovely dark teal-ish green.

This is probably my favorite J. Herbin ink. Yes, purple is my favorite color (as is evident from my other reviews on this site), but this shade of green beats out both Violette Pensee and Poussiere de Lune on my list. Absolutely my favorite to write with, and it coordinates well with my green Banditapple Carnet notebooks!

I've been using J. Herbin inks of various colors for awhile now, and I've yet to try a color that I don't like. I've taken a flyer on a couple of colors, like the Lierre Sauvage, or Ivy Green. I've never used a green ink in my life, but I fell in love with this one immediately, and it's been getting a lot of use.All the Herbin inks have excellent characteristics, are very pen-friendly and look terrific on the paper.

Review based on a sample from the medium greens sampler here. On good paper, this ink is a five star ink. Color is amazing with great shading and below average show through. What loses a star for me is how it reacts to cheap paper. Unlike the other J. Herbin inks I've used, this one likes to feather on cheap paper. Since I'm looking for a mark-up ink for work that will need to work well on cheap copy paper, this won't cut it. If you can control the paper you're using it on I'd recommend it.

I decided to stray away from my usual Noodler's ink purchase and chose the J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage for my green ink choice. I have not been disappointed in the least. The color is a wonderful Spring green, and the ink does very well on most papers. This is a great choice for your next green ink.

Very happy with my purchases and the service. You take extra time in making sure we have a better experience and make information available to us like no other! Thank you

I was hoping for a darker more interesting green. To be honest I was hoping it was my Pilot Iroshizuku shin-ryoki. It was too light and a tad too watery with none of the beautiful richness I was hoping for. Wont be purchasing this one at all, but again am very grateful for the chance to try it out.

I am very happy with all three of these inks. I am using different colors for everyone in the household for calendar entries and had bought PR Shoreline gold and PR Spearmint locally, but was having difficulties with flow and dry time. I am using a momagenda desktop journal. The Spearmint just was not drying and the Shoreline Gold was bleeding through and slow to dry. LS and OI are far better at flow and dry time. the Orange I has a bit of bleed through. It does not have as much shading as the Shoreline Gold. The Lierre Sauvage is not as intense a color as Spearmint, but it works really well and is very legible. The Eclat du Saphire is a really pretty and fairly intense blue. I get a lot of shading with a Pelikan 400 fine nib. It has good flow, but not ridiculous rivers (Aurora blue and Noodlers Turquoise Eel put down way too much ink with this pen).
