    General Information

    With fine incense scent, reminiscent of the scents of the Orient with slightly sweet, vanilla and balsamic notes.

    With the Scent of the Orient.

    Papier d’Arménie triple is the oldest room freshener in paper form, produced in France since 1885. Its typical scent of slightly sweet vanilla with a touch of balsam from styrax resin conjures up the orient.

    Armenian paper

    The "Armenian paper" - paper strips soaked in styrax resin (also known as benzoin) dissolved in alcohol - neutralizes unpleasant scents of used ashtrays, cold roast fat or similar. To do this, fold a strip accordion-like, then light it and immediately blow out again and let it smolder (for example, in a - sic! - ashtray): Already the room is filled with subtle fragrance.

    Styraxduft auf Papier gebracht

    The clarifying and (due to the 25% share of benzoic acid) partly antiseptic properties of Styrax learned Auguste Ponsot 1885 on a trip through Armenia know, where the fragrant tree resin was traditionally smoked in the houses to clarify the air and to scent the rooms. Impressed by its beneficial properties and ease of use, he brought it to France. His business partner and pharmacist Henri River found that styrax could be dissolved in alcohol (it takes two months to do so) and mixed with other fragrances. Placed on a carrier substance, a kind of blotting paper, the scent can be released unaltered by glowing the paper.
    To this day, the Papier d’Arménie is produced by hand in an elaborate process that takes six months. Only the resin of the genuine Storax tree (Styrax officinalis), which is extracted in Laos, is used. Production is still in the Parisian suburb of Montrouge, where Mireille Schvartz, the great-granddaughter of Henri Rivier, continues the family business today and has added several products and fragrances to the portfolio.
