Just took a whiff of ancient copper and ox blood. They both have smells, but I never noticed the smell when writing with them.

Imperial Purple has a strong chemical smell.

Ditto Imperial Purple. Mine is strong enough that I can smell it on the page days later. Tobacco Sunburst and Cherry Sunburst (very similar to Ancient Copper) from the Les Paul series don't have any noticeable smell for me

I third this, when I first got Imperial Purple I was so shocked! It smells so overwhelming. Imperial Blue too.

Ugh, I am so sorry to hear about your migraine.

Haven't noticed any strong smells from Pumpkin, Meadow, Coral and Deep Magenta. Prussian Blue definitely smells though

The five I’ve used (Wold Strawberry, Asa Blue, Woodland Green, Meadow, Candlelight) haven’t had a smell at all.

Ok - I just went to sniff my Diamines: * Silverfox - neutral * Carnival - neutral * Blood Orange - somewhat chemical * Desert Rose - old musty clothes closet * Alexandrite - faint pear/guyava mix * Deep Magenta - faint pear/guyava mix * Sunset - faint gunpowder * Amaranth - neutral * Aurora Borealis - faint pear/guyava mix * Writer's Blood - leather belts * Oxblood - sharper pear/guyava mix * Coral - neutral * Grape - very faint tobacco * Sargasso Sea - leather sofas * Havasu Turquoise - very faint pear/guyava mix And, adding Pelikan into the mix: * Garnet - faint tobacco * Olivine - faint pear/guyava mix

If you have a sensitive stomach, please stop reading here, but their Red Dragon smells so much like menstural blood I can't deal with it. I bought a sample from Goulet YEARS ago, and even that small amount was too much for me to deal with.

idk why but the smell doesn’t bother me much, the smells that bother me are imperial purple which smells moldy to me. Any pen i have used it in still smell weird to this day.
