About Absinthe Green Fairy Glow
Absinthe Green Fairy Glow renders the louche as a glowing object: la fée verte, the Green Fairy, a luminous emerald-to-peridot spirit shining in a glass on a dark fin-de-siècle bistro tabletop in dim café light.
The ground is aged mahogany and walnut — the world of Degas's L'Absinthe and the Nouvelle-Athènes café — so the green glow has its dark surround. Slotted spoon, sugar cube, and elegant period serifs complete the candlelit scene.
