If you're intrigued by yet still a bit wary of absinthe and/or you don't have time to reenact the whole Johnny Depp From Hell bathtub scene, then perhaps this absinthe soap is for you. From PerpetualKid.com, it comes in a lovely pale green tin with green fairies dancing upon it, and it lets you inhale the heady scent of absinthe-scented suds while keeping a clear head. Absinthe was of course referred to as the green fairy back in its day, because of its distinctive color and how it could lift you out of the mundane. Yet sometimes if you drank too of the green fairy she might have turned into a green harpy, like in this 1895 featured art by A. Maignan. Maignan's title was The Green Muse but their relationship looks a little worrisome to me, and it also seems like it's time for Monsieur Writer/Poet to put down the bottle and clean up that messy workspace.
