What experiences arise when writing with the De Atramentis scented ink 'pour homme, Davidoff Cool Water'?

Articles from the collector portal Ink FAQ entry

The De Atramentis scented ink 'pour homme, Davidoff Cool Water' clearly smells in the bottle of the corresponding men's perfume, but in the filled fountain pen the scent is less directly perceptible. The ink was first tested in a Waterman Charleston as well as in two to three further pens with converter and piston filling; no abnormalities were to be observed. Neither deposits on refilling nor problems on switching to another ink occurred. On good paper the folded written text retains its scent for a few more days; on simple copy paper the scent dissipates quickly. The ink shows a rich Atlantic blue. The flacon contents are 20 ml, the weight about 230 g, the dimensions are roughly 4.8 x 4.8 x 6.8 cm including the lid.
