There are absinthes that they say use as close to the original process as possible, but none of them use the oil process that La Fee uses.
There are lots of reasons to buy La Fee, but it being certified original isn't one of them.

Sorry but you are wrong.
La Fée Parisian is based on an authentic 19th century recipe and was developed in a French distillery under the supervision of Madame Delahaye.
It is the only absinthe authenticated and endorsed by the Musée de l'Absinthe, Auvers-sur-Oise and in 2003 was the only absinthe to win a silver medal at the International Spirits Challenge
Original as in using the original Absinthe recipe. Not as in being the first (or original) absinthe.
