Black Current and Absinthe 8oz scented soy candle Take flight on the wings of the legendary Green Fairy. The Green Fairy, prior to her attribution to Absinthe culture, was associated with freeing of the mind and creativity. Ironically, all three herbs used to create the absinthe drink - sweet fennel, green anise and grand wormwood have magically been associated with warding off evil. Medicinally, sweet fennel and green anise are herbs used to ease digestion. As any herbalist knows. The dose makes the poison. Black Currant is a fruity and woody, animistic scent enhancing the sweet, licorice scent of absinthe filling a room with mysterious doorways to inspiration.
