Papier d'Arménie - French Incense Paper - Traditional

HISTORY: Since 1885, the legendary Papier d'Arménie booklet has been a staple of French culture. During a trip to Armenia, Auguste Ponsot noticed that the inhabitants perfumed and disinfected their homes by burning benzoin. Seduced by this traditional and ecological practice, he reimagined the process and invented Papier d'Armenie.

THE ATELIER & PROCESS: The Paris suburb of Montrouge is the site of the workshop where traditional skills have always been used to make Papier d’Arménie. Its production involves several stages: preparing the aromatic bath, salinising the paper, drying it in an oven, resting and finishing – that is, cutting the paper into leaves, perforating the strips, assembling the booklets, and finally packing them for you.
