I've done mine, but hesitate to be the first to post. They're both getting a lot of work this week.

Chroma Mystery 38 - 39
Mystery 38 is legally pink/ fuchsia.. Very well behaved and delicious to write with.

Mystery 39 is very complex ink....

Yay, I'm not the first!
Mystery Inks # 38 and 39
MI 38:
MI 39:
Quick sketch using both inks (Yes, they're the wrong color for a seascape but I was in a seascape mood, especially with a lighthouse.)
The chromas:
37 appears to be a single-dye component. 38 is more complex, with tones of gray and coral/orange...maybe even a bit of green. I'm a sucker for ink with complex chromas.
Rhodia paper used on all except chromas. Which was paper towel. 😜
They were both pleasant to write and sketch with. I especially liked the brown ink, and I don't believe I have either one. So, not guesses, just comparisons.

My first little scribblings with this one, I put it in my usually very wet Jowo 1.1 stub but it felt a little dry and almost like writing on polystyrene on my Clairfontaine pad. That being said it didn't bleed or feather and seems quite water resistant.
I had a feeling I knew this ink before I opened it as I think it's one I had been considering purchasing. As it went down I thought I was really going to like it it was a deep dark blood and ink colour to it but as it dries it seems to take on a brown hue I'm not as keen on. I may have to experiment with other pens I think
Ps I've cut the image as my guess is wrote below

Mystery Ink #38
Carmine Pink ink. Lovely to write with. Reminds me very much of the long unobtainium Caran d'Ache Colours of the Earth Sunset that was always a favourite of mine.

Mystery Ink #39
Dark purplish burgundy red ink. Very wet. Reminds me of when I once made Binder Burgundy and it went almost black in the Parker that I filled with it.
I know that I've seen a similar shade from junglejim in the past but I don't remember what it was. The two comparison inks I have added are the only two similar inks that I have. In fact my Moonman pen that contains Troublemaker Freedom Park Rose is currently writing on fumes.

I'll start with Mystery 39....

Here's my chroma for 38 and 39 and a little writing sample more to come soon, the chroma for 39 looks very interesting with a green/grey being pulled out along with red, 38 is a lot more mono chromatic but I still really like the color a lot which is a surprise to me since I never thought I would like an ink of that hue but there was a time when I never thought I would like a purple ink and now I have one.
Thanks

Mystery 38 - I was quite destabilized by this ink, belong it being Noodler's Ottoman Rose.
Ink is very wet. I'm really curious to know what it is.
I would hazard a guess, Noodler's Shah's Rose..

Having seen everyone else's reviews I decided to switch paper to see if I could get a wetter writing experience with 39.
Using copy paper I did although it still does not feel as lubricated as other inks it behaved better than it did on clairefontaine
38 suprised me I quite like the pink purple hue, this one felt nice on the paper but did bleed through significantly more than 39 even with a fine nib

I did water test.
Mystery 39 has surprisingly water resistance.
Mystery 38, after a while under running water leaves a faint trace.
For the brown/ purple, I'm tempted to say it might be Brown Pink or Birmingham Pennsylvania,,,,

I also did a comparison of pinks & fuchsias. This is definitely fuchsia.

Are we guessing now?
I've got no clue on 38
But I thought 39 may be Black swan in English roses
It's not Kelly... Guess something else

Some writing with MI 39, more to come soon

If Caran d'Ache Sunset was still available I would say that was MI#38 but sadly it is long gone and C d'A Divine Pink and Kaweco Ruby Red are a slightly different shade. Someone has made a good match for C d'A Sunset. Chapeau

My really cheap horrible paper test. I'm happy to say both inks performed great on this paper which definitely isn't always the case.
Thanks
