PROS
- Beautiful and classic turquoise color.
- Well behaved.
- Shades well.
- Light scent is a treat - it's not gross and it doesn't stick in your pens long after cleaning.
- Very elegant presentation! Classy as heck.
- What a gorgeous gift this would be, both for a friend and for yourself!
CONS
- Pretty expensive for such a small bottle.
- Cork is a pain to replace once you have uncorked it.
- Bottle mouth is not very wide so it can be difficult to fill larger pens from.
OVERALL
This is a pretty classic turquoise blue with lovely shading and gorgeous presentation. It's not a particularly special turquoise though, and at this price and with the amount of turquoise inks I already have, it has to be. As I said with the Violett, these inks are premium, spoil-yourself inks, with their classy presentation, light scents, and hefty price tag. The bottles themselves are not ideal for filling from, especially if you have larger pens. It's sort of a silly ink in terms of price and practicality, but it's always fun to try new inks. I think this would be an excellent gift or treat, but not a daily use ink based on the price and bottle size.I received this item/these items free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
