I found it to have too much Yellow, more than even an Olivine Green. Under-saturated, even though I used a wet Medium nib. I would not recommend for Fine nibs. No Shading, Sheen, nor Shimmer. Could be difficult to read back on some papers. Definitely not my taste in Green inks.

J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage is a very enjoyable ink to use. It has a pleasant color, and it flows very well. I enjoy wet inks, and this is one of the wettest inks I have used. It dries fairly slowly, and it is helpful to know that.

I am very happy with all three of these inks. I am using different colors for everyone in the household for calendar entries and had bought PR Shoreline gold and PR Spearmint locally, but was having difficulties with flow and dry time. I am using a momagenda desktop journal. The Spearmint just was not drying and the Shoreline Gold was bleeding through and slow to dry. LS and OI are far better at flow and dry time. the Orange I has a bit of bleed through. It does not have as much shading as the Shoreline Gold. The Lierre Sauvage is not as intense a color as Spearmint, but it works really well and is very legible. The Eclat du Saphire is a really pretty and fairly intense blue. I get a lot of shading with a Pelikan 400 fine nib. It has good flow, but not ridiculous rivers (Aurora blue and Noodlers Turquoise Eel put down way too much ink with this pen).

I was hoping for a darker more interesting green. To be honest I was hoping it was my Pilot Iroshizuku shin-ryoki. It was too light and a tad too watery with none of the beautiful richness I was hoping for. Wont be purchasing this one at all, but again am very grateful for the chance to try it out.
