Absinthium- 05.12.07

What is one to think when your favorite candy company comes out with an incredibly gorgeous line of absinthe products… with some of the most breathtaking graphics and packaging? Chic City Rats pointed out this collection, and noted that Torino based, Pastiglie Leone is turning 150 this year! (If you’re feeling nice and seeing this in france or italy, send some over!) Far more pics below…

And what’d my attachment to these Pastiglie Leone candies? LOVE the packaging for starters (something about the paper wrapped boxes with such gorgeous vintaged graphics), and it was one of my usual pick me ups that i’d suck on during lectures while living in Milan. The Cinnamon ones were my fav, and yes they do look a bit like erasers…

Additionally - apparently you can get custom printed wrapped boxes!!! and also tins! The next notcot schwag might need to be these…
