The Story
A favourite among scribes, sketchers, and scandalously good letter-writers, J. Herbin’s Perle Noire is the dignified black ink that’s been quietly inking history since 1700. Crafted in Paris and once favoured by the likes of Louis XIV and Victor Hugo (yes, that Victor Hugo), this water-based ink glides effortlessly across the page and dries swiftly to a lightfast finish. With its rich black hue and refined formulation, Perle Noire brings a touch of gravitas to any fountain pen—and makes even your grocery list feel a tad more literary.
