All about Armenian paper

Since it was made in 1885, Armenian paper has always been appreciated because of its many qualities. Indeed, it is more environmentally friendly compared to other classic indoor scents that are harmful to health due to the release of atmospheric pollutants. Armenian paper is a kind of booklet containing 36 pre-cut strips.

History of Armenian paper

Armenians burn benzoin to disinfect, but also to perfume their homes. This practice was observed by the chemist Auguste Ponsot during his trip to Armenia towards the end of the 19th century. He did not hesitate to import benzoin into France so that the French could enjoy its benefits. Thanks to his experience, the pharmacist Henri Rivier was able to discover that once dissolved in alcohol, the product emits an intoxicating fragrance. He added the effluvium, which allowed him to obtain a strong-lasting pleasant scent. The mixture is then poured on blotting paper that absorbs it easily while preserving the scent of benzoin.

How to use Armenian paper?

Armenian paper is simple to use. To obtain a purely natural deodorizer, first detach a strip of paper and fold it. Then, burn it on a heat-resistant surface. Note that the strip of paper should not catch fire but remain glowing so that the scent of benzoin can be released.

There are also Armenian paper candles, which are a real decorative item. If you use the candle version, make sure that the wick is straight and centered to allow proper burning. After each use, make it a habit to trim the wick to leave only half a centimeter. Several scents are available to suit your desires. There are also packs consisting of a burner, a notebook, and a candle. This allows you to have both Armenian paper and a candle to enjoy a pleasant scent in your home.
