I’ve emailed J. Herbin and expressed my disappointment at their removing of the golden particulates that made the original formula of the inks so unique and beautiful. I know there have always been detractors to the look, but there are more people who love it than hate it.

If you love the original formula and want your sheen back, email J. Herbin and let them know!

Here’s the response I received from J. Herbin regarding my question about their dulling down of Rouge Hematite:

Yes, we had to take the gold like die out of the formula as it had a
tendency to thicken too fast and there was a danger of clogging some
fountain pens.
I’m very sorry.

I guess I’ll be taking only tiny sips from my bottle of the original formula like people do with Parker Penman Sapphire and MB British Racing Green…

*le sigh*
