The Jacques Herbin 1670 Anniversary Ink Collection, first introduced in 2010 with the color Rouge Hématite, commemorates Jacques Herbin's 340th anniversary. The second color in this series, Bleu Océan, is a deep sea blue infused with flecks of gold. Also known as "Ocean Blue", this ink recalls the sea voyages of Jacques Herbin, the fine gold particles evoking the reflection of lightning across the water as well as the dark, mysterious depths of the oceans.

Jacques Herbin made many journeys to India and brought special wax formulas back to Paris, leading to his shop's success as a reputable sealing wax manufacturer that served Louis XIV and gained popularity throughout France. The wax seals on the cap and front of the bottle remind us of this rich history.
