Rhodia Rhodiarama softcover dot grid notebook first look

The Rhodiarama is a softcover dot grid notebook by Rhodia, with 90gsm Claire Fontaine paper, supposedly ideal for fountain pen use, which is why I'm keen to test it.
This is a first look at the journal straight after I remove the packaging. Because it's a first look, I might change my mind about things once I've tested and reviewed the journal properly.

I just bought the exact same book. I love the colour combination. I have no idea what to use it for, yet.

I love purple with orange too. Beyond doing a pen test and review, I'm also not sure of how to use it, but since it's so good with fountain pens, I think I'll use it for something that has a lot more writing than illustrations - although it is the perfect size for six months of my bullet journal, so I'll be tempted!

I really like Rhodia notebooks, they're pretty and reliable, and very easy to find here in France, even in supermarkets. They were my first ever journals (3 for one year, in different shades of blue)! They do have more elaborate notebooks for bullet journaling, with more features, they call it "goalbook", and a perpetual agenda, called "perpetual" 😁. Also, their A5 notebooks are available with a soft cover or a hardcover in several very pretty colors, but maybe it's more difficult to find on the other side of the globe? And B5 in many colors, but only soft covers I believe.
Oh and of course, Clairefontaine paper 🥰! I prefer the school notebooks paper, so opaque! but they only make it in school grids, extremely white, and with a cardstock or plastic cover. I hope you'll enjoy this one, I'm not very patriotic, but that's one thing I really like, and am a little proud of, living here: paper, stationary, pens, art supplies.... 😊

I saw their hardcover version and their goalbook, but after a lot of investigation on their website, I settled on the unmarked softcover version. I think it will suit me best! I've heard so much about Clairefontaine paper, so I can't wait to try it!
