Ink Review #7: J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune

Today I'll be reviewing another J.Herbin ink. Poussiere de Lune translates to "Moon Dust", which is a fitting name for a beautiful color! This is a deep, dark purple with warm hues.

I found that this ink had little shading or sheen. However, Goulet states that this ink has medium shading.

This ink was wet with a long dry time. There was no feathering but the lines "spread" as the ink dried. This would work best in a Japanese EF/F or western EF.

Overall: This is a dreamy, dark purple ink that won't look out of place in the office or with school notes. However, I don't see myself purchasing a full bottle. This ink is a little too wet for me, even in smaller nib sizes.
