La Fée Verte

La Fée Verte, meaning "The Green Fairy" in French, is a nickname for absinthe, a highly potent alcoholic beverage popular in 19th and early 20th-century Europe. Known for its bright green color and strong, aromatic flavor, absinthe was often associated with artists and bohemians. Its fame was partly due to its alleged psychoactive effects, attributed to a compound called thujone. Although once banned in many countries, absinthe has experienced a resurgence, now enjoyed responsibly by enthusiasts. La Fée Verte remains a cultural symbol of artistic creativity, mystique, and the bohemian lifestyle.
