View fullsize This is the last of my TY Lee exclusive De Atramentis inks that I’ve purchased from them a few years ago. I really enjoy this colour. It’s a muted green-yellow with a strong grey undertone. It shades subtly even in my 1.lmm nib. Unlike the other TY Lee exclusive that I’ve reviewed, this…

This is another TY Lee Exclusive ink made by De Atramentis. It’s another scented blue ink. It’s fragrance is lightly floral and not too overwhelming. Comparing it with Hu Shi, another blue De Atramentis TY Lee Exclusive, it looks rally similar. Personally I’ve no idea why there is a need for two such similar inks.…
View fullsize This is yet another TY Lee exclusive ink. It’s is a scented ink from De Atramentis. The scent is light, slightly floral. It’s not overpowering or too in your face. Hu Shi is a dark blue ink that shades subtly. It’s very much a corporate sort of blue which to me is which…
View fullsize De Atramentis Li Zhao Qing is a TY Lee shop exclusive ink. It’s a wet and lubricated strong purple ink. It doesn’t shade very much but it is bright and pops right off the page. It is a scented ink that smells a little like talcum powder. It’s not unpleasant or very overpowering.…
This is another TY Lee ink exclusive. Li Yu is yet another scented ink. It smells vaguely floral and I do not really enjoy it. Thankfully it isn’t a strong scent. Li Yu can be a deep dark saturated black ink or a shading grey ink. It all depends on your nib and how wet…

My thanks to Glenn for the ink sample. De Atramentis Myrrh is a bright turquoise blue ink that’s scented to smell like the Myrrh plant. Hence, the name. I love the brightness of the ink. It’s a happy colour that pops off the page. It’s a decent shading ink as well, going from a deep…
This is one deep purple by De Atramentis. It’s so dark that at times you can even fool yourself that it is black especially with wetter nibs. De Atramentis Aubergine goes down dark but dries to a greyish-purple. It shade subtly and I think it would make for an excellent alternative to regular corporate black…
View fullsize De Atramentis Singapore is a custom ink produced by De Atramentis for Fook Hing Trading. There has been two different colours, one being a dark blue and the other this particular ink. I’ve not seen the dark blue so I can’t say how it differs from this ink. De Atramentis Singapore is a…
View fullsize This is a very odd red colour. It isn’t a dark maroon like Sailor Oku Yama, it isn’t a bright red like Pelikan 4001 Brillant Red. It is something in between. It shades from a dark red to a pastel pink colour. It has the scent of peaches just like the name advertised,…
