Absinthe Fairy Fiction
The absinthe rushed through his veins like railways through the ether, glistening, thunderous, sharp, ever cooler, the green fairy flooded his mind even brighter, Pepe's pupils wide as if in a trance. Am I going blind now? he heard himself whisper softly, Lautrec and Gauguin began to whisper, and van Gogh lent him one of his half ears, speaking purely as into a microphone: the fairy enlarges your sense.
But I don't need that! Pepe rummaged in his bag of grass, picked through citrus-scented pines, tiny pines of turpentine, and found himself among moss-green draped, resinous leaves of hemlock, under balsamic dark cedars, cool minty light over the woods, and began to talk to Degas about cola, but he had never been to Georgia and Pepe had never been to Paris. And none of it was actually here, not the fairy, not the woods, not the painters, no matter, it was all there for Pepe, like a wondrous spell.
¡@!*
"Veneficium" (Latin for poisoning, magic potion, spell) begins with a cool, sharp pepper-absinthe accord that is soon overlaid by citrusy pine as well as turpentine-like pine scents. Presumably these aromas come from the cannabis, which smells exactly like it. The mossy green hemlock and balsamic cedar only come to light in the base, where a cola note (presumably the fir) is also perceptible from time to time. A subtle minty aura from the top note hovers over everything for a long time. The fairy magic works a good six hours rather moderate to skin.
