It was popular in both France and Switzerland in the 19th and 20 century, an era known as La Belle Epoque a golden age before the start of the First World War. It is a herbal alcoholic beverage flavored with wormwood, anise, fennel and sometimes other herbs such as lemon balm, hyssop and mint.

Thujone, in large quantities is toxic to the brain, but only when consumed in large quantities. It was thought that before ban Absinthe contained large quantities, up to 350mg of Thujone per liter, but it has now proved to be false. Testing the vintage bottles of Absinthe has demonstrated maximum 6mg thuone who can not produce anything psychedelic or adverse effects.
