Origin
Aromatic paper strips that, in 1930, replaced the Pastiglie di Profumi, the Officina's perfume pastilles, in the formal catalogue as the recognised way to scent a room without a flame.
Sold out
Carta d'Armenia, sheets of paper infused with benzoin resin from Styrax trees, continuing a medicinal paper tradition documented from the 17th to the early 20th century. Burns without flame.
Aromatic paper strips that smoulder without a flame. In the Officina catalogue since the 1930s.
Spicy. Just like I like it.
How I Do: Take a strip, and give it a few accordion folds. That way, it can stand up on its long edge. Once you start the smolder, it burns nice and evenly. And it looks pretty, burning that way. If you're not into burning things, slip a strip into a discreet paper envelope, and drop it into your bag or favorite drawer, for a fresh reminder of its heady resin.
