What could be better for your fountain pen-writing experience than scented ink? They give an extra dimension to the pleasures of using bottled ink to write, not only for the writer, but for any recipients too.

The scents are created in Grasse, Provence, from hydrosols of rose, lavender, orange, violet and the cocoa bean. They are inspired by a tradition that began in Italy in the 19th century, when ink manufacturers used to collect scents from parfumiers and add them to their inks.

Supplied in 30ml bottles in pretty Liberty-patterned boxes. Colours and scents available:

Chocolate (brown)

Lavender (blue)

Orange (orange)

Rose (pink)

Violet (purple)
