In the early days of modern industrial society, aromatic officinal papers— formerly known as "medicinal papers" —represented a genuine medicinal remedy for various ailments in Europe, as well as the only product on the market capable of both deodorizing and sanitizing environments. Tents, hospitals, colleges, and damp homes, for example, were all places at risk of epidemics: for this reason, they were routinely purified with fumigations diffused by the flameless combustion of these papers, which nevertheless released a pleasant scent.

Description

Formulated with different raw materials than the classic version, it is a true gem among aromatic papers, certainly intended for the most refined connoisseurs of the noble art of perfumery. The fumigations it carries out evoke olfactory sensations that are nothing short of sublime: the diffusion of seductive vanilla-woody notes, exquisitely harmonized with incense and myrrh, fill the air with delightful scents... nothing better for being transported into enchanting evocations of suspended oriental atmospheres. You can enjoy the overwhelming pleasantness of White Armenian Paper even without setting it alight: by placing a few strips in closets, shoe racks, and drawers, a distinctive fresh scent will emanate for months, pleasantly intoxicating whatever is stored there. Armenian Paper is truly an eco-friendly product, as the special absorbent sheets used in its manufacture are certified by the Forest Steward Council, an independent international organization that operates globally to promote responsible forest management.
History
On the market since 1885, the famous Armenian paper remains one of the very few surviving (and certainly the oldest) of the so-called medicinal papers, those sanitizing deodorants that were widespread between the 17th and early 20th centuries, and which came in the form of flameless paper. The most refined enthusiasts of "officinal fumigations" have always mentioned this popular French product of yesteryear. The production of medicinal papers was entirely artisanal and the almost exclusive prerogative of specialized pharmacists, who had special formulations for preparing various fumigant papers: anti-asthmatic, anti-rheumatic, antiseptic, etc., as specific medical/therapeutic treatments for various health problems. Of the various medicinal papers on sale in the kingdoms of Europe between the 16th and the mid-20th century, probably only two remain on the market today, almost certainly the last in their history, both of the deodorant/antiseptic genre, very popular and with a long tradition behind them: the Italian " Carta d'Eritrea " and the French " Papier d'Arménie ".
