Feel in the hand

We've selected the ones we think are subtle or fun, and avoided the overpowering ones. They are on display in the shop and cause a lot of conversations.

Who this is for

• You enjoy the personality of fountain pen writing
• Like the conversation starting appeal of these inks
• Write journals, letters, or creative pieces where mood matters
• Want your writing to feel more immersive and expressive
• Are looking for a distinctive gift for a pen enthusiast

Not for

• If you prefer completely scent free stationery or are sensitive to fragrances
• You need archival or permanent inks for official documents
• You want a more utilitarian, no-frills writing experience

Practical tips

• Think about these for creating an atmosphere. You'll be aware of the fragrance as soon as you open the bottle and also while you're writing, but as it's a water-based ink, the fragrance doesn't last like an oil based perfume would.

FAQs

• Does the scent linger on the page? The fragrance is most noticeable when writing and shortly after, but does not last beyond a day or two.
• Will it damage my fountain pen? No, when used and maintained properly. These inks are designed for fountain pen use and made to a manufacturing standard. Regular cleaning is still recommended.
• Are the fragrances strong? No. We have sniffed them all and survived. 
• Do the scents vary a lot? Yes. Each ink has its own character, from floral to fruity to more unusual profiles. Try Bookworm for some childhood memories of time spent in the school library.
• Which are the most popular? We like Blackberry, Cherry Blossom, Red Roses, Cinnamon and Chocolate.
