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, & place it in a burner or other container such as an ashtray. Light one end of the paper & 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 & 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 & very easy to use & 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 & repipe from 1885 remain unchanged.

"HOW TO USE" (these instructions are included in the booklet in multiple languages) Tear off a strip of the Papier d'Arménie & fold it like an accordion (see pictures). Place it on a fireproof surface (like the matching ceramic burners). Light one tip of the paper with a match. Allow the flame to die down & allow it to smolder away, it will completely burn itself out releasing the resins & oils in the paper. The Papier d'Arménie strip should turn into ash. The wonderful scent then unfolds in the space as the paper glows.
