Today, a very interesting ink. "Magic Druid" appears to be part of a "Myth and Magic" series that De Atramentis produced a couple of years back. These inks are no longer available at Goulet Pens, where I got my sample, but a quick Internet search turns up some bottles still available out there. However, this is one of the most important lessons I have learned from my Week of Ink -- if you like an ink, you should buy a bottle of it as soon as possible, because most inks eventually go off the market, or get their formulations changed, etc. So when it comes to ink, carpe diem!
This ink is nice, but really too light for me. Plus the scent is a little off -- the ink is probably supposed to smell like a deep, dark pine forest where druids are holding their mysterious rituals and doing all kinds of magical deeds. Unfortunately, the ink scent reminds me of Pine-Sol. Pleasant, to be sure, but not mysterious and magical.
It is a pretty shade of green and I like the name. I have to agree that a Pine-sol scent is not very magical at all.
