This was just what I was looking for in a shiny bluish-purple. It isn't a shimmer as much as a shiny ink. It seems to flow really quickly out of the pen, doesn't dry very quickly, and seems to take a few strokes of my pen to get started flowing, but definitely worth buying.

Really dry to write with and would almost instantly dry once lifting from the page. When I went to clean my pen I noticed it had stained the black ion coating.

I love this ink. And the care they take to package it and a sticker and lollipop seals the deal! The ink is more blue than red but I don't do much shading. It has a nice sheen to it. Plus I use a fine nib. Medium nibs would probably show off the color more.

This is such a beautiful ink; the sheen is incredible. I can see it even when I use my medium-nib pens. I haven't had any issues with clogging or false starts, so I highly reting experience.commend this ink if you're looking for something unique to add to your wri

Nitrogen is my favorite ink. I find Walden a bit much. But this ink is lovely…Rich blue-to-purple, it’s going to give Nitrogen a run for its money!

I’m fairly new to the fountain pen community, and am just gobsmacked by all the options for ink. The first time I saw one of these blue inks with a red shift, I was instantly intrigued, but the sample I got (not this brand) clogged up my pen. This ink is stunning and reads mainly deep blue, much more so than what’s shown in the swatch, but with a wider nib pen and/or different paper, the red shift is absolutely stunning. I hope this never is discontinued!

This is my first sheening ink. I got a sample of this from a Suprise Me pack and immediately fell in love with it. Works well in my TWSBI ECO Extra Fine, and looks amazing on Midori MD paper. Can't wait to try it with a larger nib and on better paper, highly recommend.

It's my newest fascination and has rekindled my love of writing letters and correspondence. I have to share the beauty of this ink with as many family members and friends as possible. I also have begin to draw with this ink and I must say any larger coverage use of this ink produces the best most hypnotic shimmering effects. I love how light playing across the surface of this ink brings it to life in elegant ways. Thank you so much for making this available to me! And to future readers... you could never be disappointed in this product or the customer service from this company . Everything about Goulet Pen company is par excellence! I will never let this ink leave my desk and will re order it forever! Can't wait to try more sheening inks!

Organics Studio Nitrogen is perhaps my favorite ink of all time and is a sheening monster. I don't know what this ink is trying to do, but it's so disappointing. I was hoping this would also sheen, but it's either black or a super dark blue and is so boring on the page. Nitrogen is a masterpiece and this couldn't have been a bigger let down. Try a sample before buying a bottle; I wish I had!

A very nice, well behaved ink. Easy sheen. A bit too dark for perfection for me, but has a home in a stub nib.

This is beautiful ink, superb even on medium quality paper!This is the most gorgeous ink I've bought so far - it starts off a deep blue and ends up a beautiful aubergine -purple on paper, the higher quality paper the better, as with all sheening inks. Also, the broader ink, the better. Appears different coloured depending on the angle that light is reflected off the paper- from almost black to deep blue to purple to shiny aubergine. I'm slightly obsessed with this one, like I wish it came in a hair dye or tattoo colour, lol. Quite smooth, and works even on medium quality smooth writing paper. It appears as a deep blue ink on low quality paper, like a standard notebook. So, all in all, if you're investing in a high quality pen and ink, better get a high quality writing paper as well!

Am I doing something wrong here? Zero shading - but it is a nice deep blue. Perhaps this is a bad batch, but no matter what I try there are no other tones, what-so-ever.

I love Organics Studio inks but this one , Twilight Blue is just a pretty shade of blue. I'm getting no sheening like the sample showed. Yes it's called blue but I know it should sheen some red. This makes me Leary to try another OS ink.

Bought a sample of Nitrogen and loved it so much that I bought this one and was not disappointed. I love the darker and purple-r tones. To my eye, sheen is less than Nitrogen, but doesn't detract from how multi tonal this in is.

Let me preface by saying I adore my Walden ink! I bought Ralph Waldo Emerson because of the history between Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson as authors. However, I have been disappointed in this ink. It is supposed to sheen red, but even in good quality paper in a broad nib it is just blue. The flow is fine, and it doesn't dry out in the pen as badly as Walden. But it doesn't sheen at all as advertised, so that has been a disappointment for me.

Beautiful colours. Turns out blue-black with a slight red sheen with my TWISBI. A much wetter ink then I'm used to (lefty here) but very smooth and easy to write with.

great ink looks great on paper

I'm so glad I got this when I bought my TWSBI. It's my first TWSBI and my first Organics ink. They are gorgeous together. The color of the ink is luscious and vibrant. It flows really well. It doesn't dry fast but I'm okay with that. It's such a gorgeous color that I would rather write slowly to enjoy the pen and the ink.

If you're after a sheening ink you've found it! I wish a little more of the blue came across. Still a interesting ink to use.

I've been searching for a replacement ink for Levenger's Cobalt Blue, which I love the color, the lubrication, dry time, but not the bleeding. Cobalt Blue tends to bleed even on above average quality paper, so I've been looking for a blue ink relative to its color and behavior with the bonus of minimum bleed through. Unfortunately, OS Emerson fell short on a few points. Firstly, it's nothing like its depicted color wise--more of a dark teal when dry. If I angle the paper just so under the right lighting when comparing the two inks, OS Emerson's sheen gives it the appearance of being in the same color family as Cobalt Blue, but that's not the result I was aiming for. It actually looks more like the OS Thoreau swab. Secondly, while it doesn't bleed as badly as Cobalt Blue, its not as lubricated or free flowing. It has a tendency to make a nib a hard starter, which is a distraction and irritation. Overall a nice ink, just not what I was aiming for. Minus a star because it's not really a blue ink, but a teal with a sheen (like a chameleon that can't determine its natural state) and another star removed for being a bit dryer and less lubricated. It's too bad this sheen fad is taking over at the expense of making some good old fashioned writing inks.

I was so excited about this ink, I saw it on Instagram and had to have it. However it doesn't sheen for me, like it does in photos I have seen. I use it my Lamy with a 1.5 Stub nib. It also dries out if I pause between writing. I have to get the ink flow started again.

This is an Organic Studios ink as such it is a similar experience to their other inks. It is highly concentrated so can easily dry on the nib, is basically all sheen so technically can have good shading you just have to dilute it down a fair bit to see the shading. I basically consider this ink concentrate, just wish there was an actual purple or violet or something in that blueish / azure / reddish range which this kind of sheen. Not necessarily red sheen but maybe the gold that is usually particular to purple / red ink.

If you want a great sheen ink in your lineup this could be the answer. Just remember that Organics Studio inks don't stick around long. Don't believe me? Try finding Lewis Carroll Queen's Rose'. Yeah. Don't say you weren't warned. GREAT INK! GREAT SERVICE!

This ink is utterly captivating. I kept a pen inked with it for 8 months solid. I often had it in multiple pens during that time. You simply cannot beat the sheen from Organic Studios, and the base blue is one of my favorite shades of blue. Of course you can hardly see the blue for the red sheen. Still utterly gorgeous on the page. But...all that sheening comes at a price. Hard starts, namely. Fairly reliable writers would dry up between sentences and would no longer start when uncapped. And cleaning it out... ugh. And of course I'd put it in a vac-filler... I've heard diluting the ink will help with these issues, so I'm keeping this at 4 stars. Clearly the color was enough to make me put up with the issues.

The title says it all. I absolutely adore this ink. The sheen is gorgeous. I always keep my sapphire metal Falcon inked up with it, as I think the metallic sheen and blue undertone complement the pen perfectly. And it flows through the extra fine soft flex beautifully. It's simply gorgeous. The ONE drawback is the bottle. If you don't transfer it to a glass bottle as

One of my favorites of all time

It's an exquisite ink. While I found the color to be darker than the swatch shown, it still has a lovely shading on the page. Just don't get it wet ... unless you're using it for watercolour.
