Lifelines Scented Lava Gel Pen Set, 2-Pack (Blue & Red) - 0.7mm Colored Gel Pens Infused with Scented Essential Oil Blends & Mesmerizing Lava - School Supplies for College & Adults

Was excited to get this but disappointed ! I hate when YouTubers lie about products . This pen hardly smells of anything and I have an excellent sense of smell . Maybe I’m doing something wrong or it takes time for the ink to get infused . I’d anyone has any tips let us know . Thanks

I consider myself a pen connoisseur. A pen enthusiast. A pen sommelier, if you will. And let me tell you, this pen? It is not it. The scent feature barely works on most of them, which is impressive considering that’s the entire gimmick. The barrels are absurdly thick, making them feel less like pens and more like writing with a highlighter that lost its purpose in life. Now let’s talk ink - or whatever crime against ink this is. The flow is scratchy, inconsistent, and skips like it’s trying to avoid responsibility. These pens drag across the page instead of gliding, turning a relaxing writing moment into an endurance test. For the amount of money I spent, I expected at least functional. Instead, I got bulky, underperforming pens with commitment issues. Save your money, your paper, your hand, and your dignity deserve better.

These are really nice pens for sitting and doing any kind of journal work. They write very nicely and they all do smell different, I’ve never had scented pens, it’s super fun, I choose a good scent for my mood and write, when I need to take a moment to think, I can just look at the cool “lava” effect while I ponder lol, it’s kind of meditative. They are on the expensive side but very much worth it. It would be an amazing gift for someone…I bought them for myself because I’m going through a bit of a hard time and writing is always so helpful, these beautiful pens help inspire the work. It’s the little things you know.

If you’re a pen person, get these. They smell great and they write so well.

Edited Review to add- I've been writing with these pens for about 2weeks now. I've discovered they only have scent when initially writing. For example, 5min. after writing, I bring my notebook to my face/nose & I don't smell anything. I even used the scratch & sniff method...nothing, no scent whatsoever. I also thumb'd through some pages expecting to smell a melody of assorted scents...& nope, no scent. After a few days, I really struggled to even smell anything upon writing as well. However the scent is most definitely there initially. Im not changing my starts because I still think it a well made pen & great gift idea overall. --Original Review- These scented lava pens are absolutely gorgeous! I love that they are transparent from top to bottom. Upon closer inspection, the ink cartridge sits safely & separately in the center & away from the water, mineral oil, and dye color protected. Making the ink always scented and ready to write. At a glance, you'd think the color of the lava dye is the ink color you're actually writing with but it isn't. I thoroughly thought the ink would smell soothing, like scents from Bath & Body Works or something similar to that effect. However they don't smell very "soothing" to me. They smell nice, but not soothing as advertised, "Engages your senses and soothes your mind!" For example- Spicy- smells like Big Red Gum, Red Hots or Fireball Candy ...not very soothing. -_- Fresh - smells like Vicks VapoRub -_- In Bloom - smells like Avon's Skin So Soft Bath Oil Woodsy - Pine or like Maple Tree Sap Citrus- all things Citrus-y, like a lemon, orange, a lime, or a grapefruit all blended together as one... now this one smells absolutely Amazing! Keeping in mind everyone's nose to what they find "soothing" is subjective. I don't find any of the scents soothing, but 2 out of the 5 do smell amazing. I've written with smoother writing pens that were cheaper, and seen fancier more expensive pens that made me write worse, however these scented lava pens write nice. They are about middle ground as far as pricing is considered for how many you get. I saw you could also buy a single pen or a 2pk, the price was good on those as wellm I'd take how they look over how they write especially if I'm just journaling to relax, or only using them for work in a public setting where I want them to be seen. These also make great gifts, especially for the next party trick- the "lava lamp". I've noticed it really doesn't work all the time, maybe it needed more mineral oil and less water, who knows? It all runs to fast unlike a lava lamp which is slow and beautiful. If I had any suggestions, they should toss glitter in a few of them, but I know microplastics aren't good for the environment. Overall, these are very nice scented pens.
