The \u003cem\u003eLa Perle des Encres\u003c\/em\u003e line, which translates as \"The Jewel of Inks,\" was first formulated in 1700 in Herbin's shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain. Over three centuries later, the formula remains true to its origins: water-based, pH-neutral, and made from all-natural dyes. This is ink with genuine lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVert Foret\u003c\/em\u003e is a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edeep, unhurried forest green\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. It sits closer to the shade of old-growth timber than the brighter, more yellow-leaning greens common to the category. On the page it reads as considered and composed, making it well-suited to journals, correspondence, and everyday writing where you want something more interesting than black or blue without drawing attention to itself. There is a quiet depth to it that rewards a slower hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bottle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 30 mL presentation is the D-shaped glass bottle that has become one of the most recognised forms in fine stationery. The flat base and curved back give it stability on the desk, while the ridge along the top edge functions as a pen rest, allowing you to set your pen down while you write without risking a roll across the desk. The wide neck makes filling straightforward for most fountain pen converter styles and piston mechanisms. The bottle arrives gift boxed, making it a considered gift as well as a practical replenishment purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume: \u003c\/strong\u003e30 mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-based, vegan formula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH neutral and non-toxic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with fountain pens, rollerball pens, and glass pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for dip pen and brush use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJacques Herbin \u003cem\u003eLa Perle des Encres\u003c\/em\u003e inks are among the safest and most well-behaved inks available for fountain pens. The neutral pH means they will not corrode feeds or damage internal components over time, and the water-based formula cleans easily from both pen and nib. They flow smoothly without bleeding excessively on quality paper, though as with all dye-based inks, heavier paper weights will show the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note on Colour\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFountain pen greens cover a wide spectrum, and \u003cem\u003eVert Foret \u003c\/em\u003eoccupies the darker, cooler end of that range. It pairs naturally with cream or ivory papers where its depth reads clearly, and it shows some variation in line weight depending on nib size, with broader nibs revealing more of the ink's tonal complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/WEBFLAGS_FRANCE_125px.png?v=1613734598\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacques Herbin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44827312128135,"sku":"13040T","price":22.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/13040T_1-2.webp?v=1781059227","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/jacques-herbin-la-perle-des-encres-writing-ink-30ml-vert-foret-forest-green","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
