Lovely but light

I recently tried Ferris Wheel Press' *Queen Allium*, a lighter shade of plum, and while it’s a lovely ink, it may not be for everyone. The ink flows smoothly with a subtle shading effect, making it a pleasant writing experience. I tested it on Apica Premium Notebook, where it showed no feathering or ghosting.

The standout feature of this ink is its rose gold shimmer, which adds a beautiful, elegant touch to your writing—though it might not show up consistently. Drying in about 10 seconds, it’s a quick-drying ink, but due to its light tone, it may not be ideal for daily writing unless you prefer softer hues.

While I personally won’t be purchasing this ink again, I think it would be perfect for those who appreciate delicate tones and the added shimmer effect.

So beautiful and majestic

Yes, I changed my review because hilariously, the delivery status changed hours after I posted the initial review. I love this ink and hope there will be potential rereleases of this down the road!

Beautiful colours

I don't usually go for purple, but I decided to give it a shot. The colours are beautiful! It's not quite an "everyday use" ink, but that's OK. Can I also say that I really appreciate the fact that both the English and the French names work even if they're completely different? I love that detail!

A beautiful pinky purple

If you’re looking for a soft pinky purple that packs in a ton of gold shimmer, this is your ink. It’s beautiful!

Less gold, more purple

Bottled ink is far darker in colour, but overall beautiful colour.
