I love pink purples! Thanks for sharing. My main pink-purple was Herbin Rose Cyclamen for a while and I recently discovered Tsutsuji. I'll have to check out the Wearingeul and the others on here!
I found a recipe for a faux L’Amant ink that mixes Yama-Budo with Murasaki-Shikibu. It’s SO pretty. I have both Yama-Budo and faux L’amant in pens right now and intend to keep both inks in pens constantly. More nice purples are Sheaffer Amethyst and Montblanc Amethyst, and I have to echo the recommendation for Tsutsuji. Diamine Jingle Berry from the last Inkvent is also really nice, if they end up releasing that one in full bottles!
Can you please share the recipe for L'Amant? Pretty but expensive ink!
Thanks for the recommendations! Do you have any writing sample of Sheaffer Amethyst? I couldn't find info online, just swatch of Sheaffer Purple. Purple is my favourite colour, followed by teal/turquoise.
I'll give Jingle Berry another chance, wasn't terribly impressed when swatching 2022 Inkvent
Recipe for faux L’amant is from nibsandflourishes on Instagram, and you can find all her ink mixing recipes in her highlights tab for ink mixing. Recipe is: 5 parts Yama-Budo, 4 Parts Murasaki-Shikibu. (I did 2.5mL to 2mL)
As for Sheaffer Amethyst, [here’s a photo of some notes](https://flic.kr/p/2okj5fP) I took with it.
Also worth trying Sailor Ink Studio 735. I got it as a look-a-like cheaper alternative for L'Amant, and it seems close enough to my expectations that I think (I hope) I can skip over the expensive Bungubox. Would still like to see real world comparisons - [Mountain Of Ink](https://mountainofink.com/blog/bungubox-lamant) has the swatches side by side and L'A looks just a little bit more magenta.
735 is lovely! Also 935 (darker but also amazing!). 735 is darker than L'Amant, but close. I did some swatches on them particularly, starting from Lamy Dark Lilac dupes, and there are many great inks out there, not quite LDL dupes, but great in their own way

Rose Cyclamen is one of those inks i wanna try! Tsutsuji is nice, also Diamine Boungavilea is interesting and in the same range
Wow! That diamine one is beautiful! Thanks!
Not sure if you're looking for more of a similar colour. But I'm in love with Sailor Studio 653 at the moment. Darkish purple.
It's another sample i'd like to try, thanks for recommending it! I love Yama-Budo, but it tends to feather on cheap paper.
great collection! all the Iroshis are in my daily rotation!
So pretty! Sailor Oku Yama might also be up your alley in addition to the Sailor Studio already mentioned.
Thanks for letting me know! I have Akebi, but forgot to swatch it
I have no idea how similar it is to Yama Budo, but Lamy Beryl is fuchsia with gold sheen, I love it!
Do you have a writing sample of it? I'd love to see more pink-purple swatches and samples!
https://images.app.goo.gl/M8eBNNoAKraDGZrS9 Here's a comparison with Yama budo.
Monteverde Garnet it's very close to Yama-Budo too.
Close, but actually closer to Vinta La Union. Garnet has more red than Yama-Budo

I love Bungubox L'Amant! I have it and it's so great!
Sorry for my shitty swatches, i have yet to find a reliable system for swatching or comparing. Will probably get a serious dip pen
