Papier d'Arménie Traditional Paper Incense Booklet

Experience the refined heritage of Papier d'Arménie, an exquisite incense paper that has graced French homes since 1885. During a trip to Armenia, chemist Auguste Ponsot was inspired by traditional Armenian techniques of using certain fragrant resins and plants to disinfect and perfume indoor spaces. Together with pharmacist Henri Rivier, they developed a paper incense that is still produced in Montrouge, the suburbs of Paris. The "traditional" booklet, first produced in 1885, evokes notes of sweet vanilla and balsam scent. This elegant room deodorizer represents nearly 140 years of French craftsmanship, offering a distinguished alternative to modern air fresheners.
