how to use

Eighteen pieces of paper, held in an elegant package reminiscent of fire, burn without flame, diffusing their essence into drawers, closets, or walk-in wardrobes. They scent linens, fabrics, and every corner of your home with their exquisite fragrance. Marketed since 1885, Carta d'Armenia is one of the last remaining "Medicinal Papers". These sanitising deodorants were widespread from the 17th to early 20th centuries, since the moment when Frenchman August Ponsot noticed that the people in Armenia used to scent and sanitise their homes by burning a natural resin with a balmy, vanilla-like fragrance: benzoin resin.

Recommendations

To use as an incense: fold into 4 pieces and light the short end for a few seconds before putting out the flame. Place on a ceramic plate away from flammable objects and let it perfume your environment. The product can also be used to perfume drawers, laundry and luggage, avoiding any direct contact with fabrics.

A glorious, evocative perfume to enchant your room

If you want to be transported to another dimension then these deceptively simple burning papers are for you. Remember to fold them into an accordion shape before lighting. I didn't know so "wasted" my first one.
