How is the Montblanc Season's Greetings 2005 scented ink to be assessed?

General questions on writing instruments Ink FAQ entry

Testers are convinced by the dark brown colour (between gingerbread and chocolate) and a discreet, Christmassy but not cinnamon- or speculaas-like scent. The fragrance intensity is below the well-known Loveletter Ink, which is felt to be pleasant. The ink bottle is a high-quality design object. The price at about 11.50 euros for the bottle is comparable to the Loveletter Ink. Anyone who does not want to carry the scent in their pen for weeks should choose the bottle rather than the cartridge, since the scent partly clings to the feed; on paper, however, the scent dissipates within a day. Quick supply shortages similar to the Loveletter Ink are expected.
