Armenian paper, whose manufacture dates from the 19th century, has special properties.
What is the use of Armenia paper?
This paper was invented by Auguste Ponsot, a French pharmacist in the 19ᵉ century after a trip to Armenia, where he had discovered benzoin (an aromatic resin extracted from the trunk of the styrax), used to disinfect and perfume homes.
He then decided to dissolve it in 90° alcohol and soak it in blotting paper, thus creating Armenia paper.
Armenia paper is used to deodorize the house.
It is very effective against bad smells, such as cooking smells, pet smells or cigarette smoke.
As it burns, the paper releases a pleasant, soothing scent that covers up unwanted odors.
But this paper not only deodorizes the air, it also has antiseptic and purifying properties.
As it burns, it releases molecules that kill germs and bacteria in the air.
So it's a great way to prevent the spread of disease and clean the air in your home.
Where to put the Armenia paper?
Armenia paper can be used as a natural home air freshener in all rooms of the house: kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, etc.

The drawers,
toilet,
as a car air freshener (instead of the magic tree).

blow out the flame to avoid igniting it,
ventilate the room once the paper is completely consumed.
