I bought this ink out of curiosity. And it’s really nice. The lavender smell is subtle and unobtrusive but clearly recognisable. As with most scented inks you perceive it mainly when you uncap the pen and write with it, but it evaporates relatively fast. Note that the ink colour changes quite a bit and gets significantly lighter after a while. This reminded me of iron gall inks and their colour shifts.
The ink has a good flow, less feathering compared to scented inks from Diamine and the opening of the bottle is wide enough for most pens.

I bought Encre Violette because of the colour Purple. And I wanted to try a smell.
The ink is perfect, a bit "wet" and is a perfect match with my Narwahl purple fountainpen. Its also a perfect purple color,
But the smell.... I do not like this. It's personal but violette is not my favourite smell.

Makes uncapping your pen a lovely experience with the scent coming from the feed. Well behaved ink on paper.
