Get Your Green Fairy Lather On Absinthe is a strong, herb-infused, alcoholic beverage that was extremely popular with artists and authors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Oscar Wilde wrote of the three stages of drinking Absinthe - "The first stage is like ordinary drinking, the second when you begin to see monstrous and cruel things, but if you can persevere you will enter in upon the third stage where your see things that you want to see." Due to its green color and purported hallucinogenic qualities, it is often referred to as "The Green Fairy." Since most people can't afford to fill their bathtub with absinthe for an invigorating soak we offer this alternative way to aromatize your skin with the sweet scent of absinthe. Each green bar has the words "Absinthe Soap" embossed on top and comes in a fancy 3-3/4" x 2-3/8" x 7/8" tin. Preferred by green fairies since 1889. |
