Jacques Herbin Scented Writing Ink 30ml Red - Rose Fragrance

Bring a touch of ritual to every letter, note, and journal entry with Jacques Herbin’s scented writing ink in deep red, delicately perfumed with rose. This 30mL bottle blends the brand’s centuries-old ink craft with a refined fragrance experience designed for fountain pens and dip pens alike.

Why this ink stands out

• Rich, elegant red:A sophisticated crimson that reads clearly on the page without shouting—ideal for correspondence, annotations, and creative writing.

• Subtle rose fragrance:A soft, classic rose scent that lingers lightly as you write, then settles so the page isn’t overpowering.

• Fountain pen friendly: Water-based and dye-based formulation designed for smooth flow and easy clean-up in most fountain pens; also excellent for glass and metal dip pens.

• Everyday 30mL size: Generous enough for regular use while staying compact for desk drawers, pen cases, and travel.

• Heritage quality: From Maison Jacques Herbin—Parisian makers of fine inks and stationery since 1670—valued by writers and artists for consistent performance.

Writing experience
This ink lays down with a medium saturation and a gentle sheen in good lighting, giving red text a refined, slightly velvety presence on the page. On fountain-pen-friendly papers, expect clean lines and minimal feathering with typical nibs. Dry times vary by paper, but most users see a quick set with fine to medium nibs.

The rose fragrance is noticeable while writing and fades to a discreet trace once the page is dry.

Best for
• Handwritten letters and cards where presentation matters
• Journaling and planning when a touch of romance or emphasis is wanted
• Marginalia and editing that stands out without the harshness of bright red
• Gifts for pen lovers who enjoy something distinctive

Compatibility
Use with: Fountain pens (clean regularly), dip pens, glass pens, and brush pens designed for liquid fountain pen ink.
Paper: Performs best on quality writing papers to reduce bleed-through and show the ink’s depth.
Not for: Permanent or waterproof needs; avoid mixing with other inks in the pen.

Care tips
1. If using in a fountain pen, flush the pen when changing inks or after extended periods of non-use.
2. Store the bottle upright, sealed, and away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and scent.
3. For vintage or delicate pens, test with a dip on the nib first to confirm flow and comfort.
