Bottle of absinth 35 €, liquor-filled chocolate 3 €, extra dark chocolate bar 3 €, Leone
Lafayette Gourmet 97, rue de Provence Paris 9° +33 1 48 74 15 35

For an exquisite decadent tea, as the sun sets and the shadows deepen. Leone celebrates its 150th birthday, and that of Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal, with a special coffret, only available in Italy. It includes an edition of the infamous collection, with traditional handmade binding. But the package's real attraction is a bottle of absinth, distilled the Belle Époque way. It comes with the appropriate perforated spoon to perfect the effect. The brand hasn't changed its recipe in any way since production started in 1874. The liquor is still strong, very strong... at 72°.

Now where on Earth did I put that damned laudanum?
