Papier d'Arménie, or Armenian Burning Paper, was burned in Armenian households far before the practice was carried over to France in the XIXth century, where it rapidly grew in popularity thanks to its soft, uplifting resinous fragrance and the belief that it could dispel disease, impurity, and malodor.
TRADITION | Sweet and balsamic, Tradition is Papier d'Arménie's classic fragrance, concocted after creator Auguste Ponso first discovered the Armenian paper tradition and carried it over to France in 1885.
