Papier d'Arménie, or Armenian Incense Paper, was burned in Armenian households far before the practice was carried over to France in the XIXth century, where it rapidly grew in popularity thanks to its soft, uplifting resinous fragrance and the belief that it could dispel disease, impurity, and malodor. It is now a respected and much-treasured part of Parisian life.
These famous fragranced paper booklets have been hand soaked in a process that takes more than 6 months. Convenient and very easy to use, one strip is enough to gently fragrance any indoor space. To this day, Papier d'Arménie is produced in the same factory in Montrouge, France. Only traditional manufacturing methods are used. The basic formula and recipe from 1885 remain unchanged.
One of the most interesting things about Papier Armenie is that it is an eco-friendly product. Unlike traditional incense sticks, which often contain harmful chemicals and are packaged in plastic, Papier Armenie is made from natural ingredients and comes in a recyclable cardboard box. This makes it a great choice for anyone who is looking for a more sustainable way to freshen up their home.
TRADITION | Sweet and balsamic, Tradition is Papier d'Arménie's classic fragrance, concocted after creator Auguste Ponso first discovered the Armenian paper tradition and carried it over to France in 1885.
ARMÉNIE | Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, known for creations like Jean Paul Gauthier's Le Male and MFK's Baccarat Rouge 540, reformulated the original "Tradition" fragrance in 2006 with notes of benzoin, vanilla, myrrh, wood, and balsam. This product has a powerful aroma and is not suited to those with scent-related sensitivities.
ROSE | Another reformulation signed by Kurkdjian pairs the traditional balsamic aroma with heady Turkish and Iranian rose petals for a sweet and floral fragrance with fruity and gourmand nuances. This product has a powerful aroma and is not suited to those with scent-related sensitivities.
Directions: tear a singular strip from its leaflet and fold it into an accordion before placing it on a heat-resistant surface. Light the tip of the strip with the use of a lighter or matches, allowing the flame to catch before blowing it out. The burn should be slow and steady.
36 strips per booklet.
