Savor the exquisite fragrance of these traditionally made Armenian Papers which release a pleasing fragrance when lit in the home. French-Armenian perfumer and creator of La Rose Incense papers, F rancis K urkdjian was keen to pursue his journey eastward. The natural choice was a rose fragrance and this scent blends roses from Iran and Turkey to create a rich juxtaposition of fragrances driven by a voluptuous, fruity rose, like rose petal jam with notes of honey. Papier d'Arménie incense paper was created more than 120 years ago and is a respected and much-treasured part of Parisian life. These are famous fragranced paper booklets that have been hand soaked in a process that takes more than 6 months. Each booklet contains 36 detachable strips of perfumed paper. To use, tear out a strip, fold it into a fan or concertina pattern, and place it in a burner or other container such as an ashtray. Light one end of the paper and it will begin to smolder, gently emitting an incredible fragrance that is based on a traditional recipe of resins, including benzoin. The smoke clears the space, it acts as a beautiful deodorizer and uplifts the mood. These strips have been a secret to maintaining an amazing atmosphere in French homes for more than a century. The booklet is convenient and very easy to use and one strip is enough to gently fragrance any indoor space in no time. People will ask you what it is. To this day, Papier d'Arménie is produced in the same factory in Montrouge (France). Only traditional manufacturing methods are used. The formula and repipe from 1885 remain unchanged.

Light one tip of the paper with a match. Allow the flame to die down and allow it to smolder away, it will completely burn itself out releasing the resins and oils in the paper. The Papier d'Arménie strip should turn into ash. It can also be used without being lit. Simply place one in a cupboard or drawer and it will slowly release a soft, sweet fragrance.
