“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.” - Oscar Wilde

If you’re familiar with the quote above, then you’ve probably read “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, a very popular novel by Victorian author Oscar Wilde. The story about a beautiful youth named Dorian Gray, who sold his soul for his portrait, asking that the latter be the one to age instead of him. The portrait would become the record of Dorian’s years, as well as his sins.

Montblanc released the Writers Edition Oscar Wilde in honor of this great writer and his philosophical and social commentaries that dove into morality and corruption. It features a Victorian-inspired design, with a barrel made from a flamboyant blend of green, amber, and black resin. It has a domed cap that has the author’s signature etched on one side, and gold-plated sterling silver fixtures that lend to its vintage vibe.
