Peppermint liqueur produced by the Giffard distillery in Angers.
Description:
In a shaded park, a red faun's head placed on a pedestal quenches its thirst with the liquor.
"In this poster, Cappiello revisits the faun from Cognac Martel (1905). Once again, he uses the complementary color pair red-green. The brightness of the red gives the poster a mysterious vitality, and the deep green of the foliage enhances this sense of the unusual, which harmonizes with the character."
