Below are some more details of the history and manufacture of Papier d'Arménie Incense papers

The principal ingredient in their making is Laotian benzoin. Held in high esteem for its sweet, vanilla, and balsamic notes, benzoin is used as a fixative in the perfume industry, an example being by Guerlain for Shalimar. Without benzoin, Papier d’Arménie would not have become what it is. This resin comes from styrax, a tree that grows in the forests of the Far East, especially in Laos. When the trees reach a diameter of around 15 cm (6 in.), notches are made in the bark so that the resin can trickle out. Six months later, the raw benzoin resin can be harvested in the form of "tears". One tree produces from 1 to 3 kilograms of benzoin each year.
