Papier d'Arménie French Incense Paper Rose

To use, fold a single strip accordion-style, place it on a heat-resistant surface, light the tip, and immediately blow out the flame. The paper should smolder slowly rather than burn with an open flame.

Papier d'Arménie is formulated with benzoin resin, which has been used traditionally for centuries to help purify the air. It acts as a powerful deodorizer, effectively neutralizing unwanted smells rather than simply covering them up.

While the base remains the signature warm, balsamic benzoin resin, this version incorporates Damascus and Turkish roses. Developed by Francis Kurkdjian, it adds a bright, floral, and slightly fruity layer to the traditional scent profile.

Yes, because the paper is designed to smolder for a short duration rather than burn continuously, it eliminates the risk of an unattended open flame or hot wax spills. It provides a controlled, short-term aromatherapy experience that is easier to manage in a busy home.

The scent typically lingers for several hours after the paper has finished smoldering, depending on the size of the room and airflow. It is designed to provide a subtle, ambient fragrance rather than an overwhelming perfume.
