I find the Lamy Black a thousand times better than this one despite everyone loving on Perle Noire. Lamy makes all of my pens glide like butter on the paper and looks lot blacker than the Perle Noire. Am I crazy? Don't know how this would be called but Perle Noire increases feedback of paper and Lamy reduces it significantly. I can barely feel the paper with the Lamy Black. Which I like. Considering the Perle noire is brand new and the Lamy Black has around 4 years on my shelf. On the other side. I dropped my Perle Noire bottle twice and it survived.
I prefer Lamy Black, too (though I don't use black, I found it to be a better option with finer lines and good behavior on poor paper). Sounds like the Lamy Black is doing a better job at lubricating your pens. Wow - great luck with your Perle Noire bottle surviving falls! 😅 I'd guess the Lamy might too - with that ring of blotter paper around the bottom, but I don't recommend testing it! 😉 Thanks for sharing your experience, Davide!
One of my favorite blacks; however, for me, Aurora is definitely the best! Ciao
Thanks, Piero! One day I'll have to sample Aurora Black. :)
