This ink hurt my feelings. I am very drawn to both the warm brown and the spicy cinnamon scent of this ink. It reminds me of the smell of my mom’s favorite chewing gum, Big Red. Unfortunately, it feathered on 7 of the 9 different papers I used for swatches. Which seven? Cosmo Air Light, Iroful, Midori, Mnemosyne, Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Yamamoto Bank Takasago Premium papers. The only two papers that survived the wrath of the Cinnabun were Col-o-ring and Colorverse art cards. This ink and its fragrant cousin, Sweet Dreams, would probably perform best in the driest of writers.
I posted a longer video swatching this ink on several different papers and comparing it to other ink swatches in my collection.
