My new favorite ink. It’s easy to use in any pen and looks great on regular notebook paper as well as fountain-pen friendly paper. Really love the color.

I love buying from Goulet. The packaging is impeccable AND fun. The sticker and the sucker. The new ink is gorgeous. Great saturation. It is a deep rose. Well-behaved, even on the inexpensive paper I use. I inked up 2 pens. It us the perfect match for my new Lamy Safari AL in Autmn Pink. Which is a great pen. I even put in my Noodler's Creaper Flex, (King Philip Purple) which is a dinky little thing. The wetter ink helped it write smoother. I previously had
Herbin Rouge Grenat in it. So I love my new ink and I love Goulet.

ottoman rose is GORGEOUS, a rich pink that shades from bright magenta to deep pinky-plum. but its combination of wet flow and slow dry time have made it difficult for me to find a way to use it without constant smudging, which is hyper-visible due to the vividness of the ink! some of the smudging is due to my being a left-handed writer, but i can't imagine that righties have it easier, given how long the ink stays visibly wet on the page: i wrote the second topic? item on my to-do list nearly half an hour ago and the dot under the question mark is STILL shiny and wet! i added magnifiers to my pic to highlight some of the problem�the vertical bar of the P in program is still wet after <10 minutes, and the i dot under to-do is, like the ? dot beneath it, visibly shiny after 30 minutes. this dry time is the slowest i've seen since i started using fountain pens. I've been using it in a diplomat magnum [F], which in my experience has been a very wet nib, on a rhodia 80g white lined A5 notebook. i have noticed other colors being a bit slower to dry on the rhodia and clairefontaine paper than my last tomoe river notebook, but nothing has been as severe as this ink, which is borderline unusable with this paper/pen combo for daily writing. i've given it a few different tries thinking i was the problem, but i think it's time to flush out this ink and retire the color until i can try it on different paper like tomoe river.

I usually don't like to use rose so much as I can't get over the girly aspect but this one, I like ! A very vivid dark pink verging on magenta. If it was not for the label I would have called it sensual. As usual with most Noodler's inks, it's a very saturated ink. It is rather well behaved and the ink properties are normal with a rather slow drying time unfortunately. Its high saturation makes it rather dark which is good for Extra Fine nibs, but to me it really shines with a nice broad or stub. I recommend it.

Love Noodler's Ink, have several bottles. This color was a little too bright for my tastes and was pretty dry. Looks great in very broad nibs and some art work my daughter did.

This is a terrific ink. I'm just starting to dabble in the huge array of colors out there, and wanted a red that was this kind of a shade. I used it for some lettering with a 1.5 nib, and it was just lovely, exactly the color I was looking for. It's my new favorite ink...so far. And 3 oz. of it will be sure to go a long way.

I ordered this ink because it was recommended in a comment on a YouTube video from Goulet Pens, and I was not disappointed! This Noodler's ink has a beautiful color, and flows very smoothly! I'm loving it!

I first purchased a sample of this ink several months ago and fell madly in love with the color. It's not a wishy-washy rose color. It has a deep rose color with a beautiful presence on the page. It feels regal and decadent. However, I am a bit concerned that this ink damaged the nib on my beloved Delta, so I would not recommend using it in your favorite or your most expensive pens. It also can stain fabric quite well so don't carry in a white jacket etc. But even with these 2 concerns I still love the color and usually have it inked up--but in one of my inexpensively replaceable fountain pens. By the way, I use this ink with western medium nib pens.

I got a sample of this in the Rose colored ink sample package (which I HIGHLY recommend, as well) and fell in love with the shade instantly. It looks fantastic in my journal and is simply aesthetically pleasing to write with. Flows great through my Edison Nouveau and my Lamy LX and dries fairly quickly. It is the one bottle of ink I am constantly replacing

This is an amazing color, one of the loveliest roses I've encountered. Like the shading qualities very much.

A beautiful, and strong, rose red. More cerise than anything else. It flows nicely and has strong character even in ultra fine nibs. It creates a crisp appearance and is very well defined on most paper including newsprint. Not really suitable for business it makes for excellent annotations.Not much feathering if pen is not wet. It is extremely well behaved for a Noodler's product, and washes clean rapidly Ottoman Rose has no real water resistance and vanishes completely with water if fresh, but erratically after long dry times. I love the color, like a concentrated madder red in hue with a very strong value.

Super duper gorgeous color, but takes years to dry on good paper made for nice pens/inks like this. Also, looks AMAZINGLY COOL in demonstrator pens.

Lovely shade, evokes a gentle romance. Not a harsh red. Did not induce memories of papers returned with corrections, edits, or bad grades!

My daughter uses fountain pens for everything. She enjoys trying new colors. The Noodler's Ottoman Rose turned out to be a lovely color of rose. My thank you note from her showed the color. Hum, now where's my fountain pen.

If you are in the market for a beautiful red-violet ink with a TON of shading ? even for a Noodler's ink this shades to an amazing degree ? then you really, really need to add this to your collection. It's the colour of happiness is what it is.

I love vivid colors and this did not disappoint. I loaded it in an inexpensive pen (a Nemosine Singularity) with a fine nib. I've noticed only a little bit of shading, most of my strokes come out pretty solid but perhaps it's because of the fine nib I'm using.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ink! I use it in my Pelikan M200 Italic.

This is a gorgeous colour that holds up in any sized nib. Good flow, readability. You might not want to use this everyday, but you could -- it's not nearly as bright as say, Saguaro Wine, but more so than Noodler's Burgundy. Good stuff.

In my Lamy Safari XF nib, this ink looks to be a mix of pink, purple, and black. It's very nice, probably not something I'll use all the time as I tend to lean towards more muted colours, but it's still one that I like enough to own a full bottle.

I have been using Nikita Red exclusively for quite a while. The Ottoman Rose is nice change. It has enough purple hue to make it interesting. It flows well and does not bleed through. I've been using it for a month and I still can't get enough of it.

Ink flows smoothly and colors are just what one has come to expect from Noodler's. Highly recommended, as is this web site. Delivery was prompt, service is friendly-I'd heap more praise, but then people might think I own stock in the company!

The colour wasn't quite as vivid as the swatch. There are so many colours to choose from so it will be easy to find the right ink. In combo with the Monteverde fp, the ink is a little more wet than Sailor ink and smudged easily.
