The J. Herbin Poussiere De Lune Review

by Lincoln on June 7, 2009

This review has been a long overdue one as I had promised it after the previous post. Had been spending alot of time writing with this ink and it has grown on me. Purple is a colour of royalty and it is a nice colour to write with. Anyway, without further delay, the scan is below along with a typed transcript just in case my handwriting is a tab hard to read.

J. Herbin

This review is written with a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise Fine Nibbed pen on a Moleskine Weekly Notebook.

This ink is not available in any stores in Singapore. Went to most of the more established fountain pen stores but all of them do not carry any J. Herbin inks.

The J. Herbin Poussiere De Lune is a well-behaved ink which shows little to no feathering and just slight bleedthrough on this paper. Although this is a purple ink, it is totally different from the Noodler’s Singapore Sepia which I did a review on earlier. This ink is much brighter and  truer purple than the Noodler’s Singapore Sepia, which drys up dull and slightly greyish.

The J. Herbin Poussiere De Lune did not disappoint me even with the high expectations I had. It’s an exciting ink to write with and I’ve had fun writing and doodling with this ink.

I highly recommend this ink to anyone who wants to get a purple ink without the need for bulletproof qualities. However, if bulletproofing is a must, then maybe the Noodler’s Singapore Sepia would be a more suitable candidate.

<<P.S. I had a great dealing with The Writing Desk whom I purchased this ink from at a very reasonable price. So, if you can’t readily get J. Herbin inks in your area, you might want to give them a try>>
