Verdict

Though it’s similar to everyone’s favourite Herbin ink, the shimmer is much lighter and there seems to be a lot more of it. So it can bring much more glimmer, and it’s much wetter than EDC. The red sheen is far less prominent as well, which is a bonus for me. Unfortunately, I cannot find this ink anymore as of 2023.
