Great purple ink
I'm gonna go ahead and give this two thumbs up. I bought the full 45ml bottle, and was not disappointed. This is a great, dark, rich purple that's neither too red-toned nor too blu... view moree-toned, but relatively straight down the middle. It's a very wet ink, so it's kind of become one of my go-to testing inks if a new pen seems a little off. If this can't flow through it, nothing will. I was also pleasantly surprised by the yellow sheen. It's not an extreme sheen, but on Tomoe River paper, I've been able to see it when writing, not just in swatches, though your mileage may vary depending on your paper and pen, of course. It's pretty dark, and sometimes it can look black on first glance (again, depending on pen and paper), like with wetter writers, but it's generally a really lovely shade of dark purple, and I have not had any problems with it at all. Outside of using it sometimes as a pen-testing ink, I do use it a fair amount in general, and I'm glad to have in my collection. view less

Beau-ti-ful!
I’ve been wanting to get De Atramentis Aubergine or so long and was finally able to secure a sample. Woo-hoo! I can offer my thoughts based on the swab I was able to do: unfortuna... view moretely, there was an oopsie, and I was able to collect only enough ink to do a swab and saturate my Sailor 1911L 21 kt H-B using it as a dip pen. There is a coppery-green sheen on the swab and on some letters written with my H-B nib. The colour is a rich purple, similar to Diamine 150th Anniversary Purple Dream. It’s also similar to, yet considerably more saturated than, Kaweco Summer Purple and J. Herbin Poussière de Lune and Diamine Grape (which is extremely unsaturated compared to Aubergine). Diamine Majestic Purple is bluer and Diamine Imperial Purple is redder. Even if the ink is saturated, it maintained its purple colour in my wet H-B nib (used as a dip pen). I see myself buying a bottle; perhaps the one in the Giacomo Puccini bottle. It costs more and there are less millilitres per bottle than the standard Aubergine, but the label is nicer. The heart wants what it wants… In addition to Puccini, Aubergine is also repackaged as Alexander Hamilton, Louise Aston, Paris (City), Titus and a few more. view less

One of the best purples availables
Perfect name. Dark Purple, good flow, very consistent and office appropriate. There are a lot of purple inks availables, this is one you should definitely have, not only sample.
