Know before you buy
To use, tear off a single strip, fold it accordion-style, and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Light the tip, blow out the flame immediately so it smolders, and allow the paper to release its fragrance slowly.
No, the strips are crafted using the original 1885 method and rely on natural benzoin resin to produce their signature scent. This traditional process ensures a clean, authentic fragrance profile.
A single strip will smolder for a few minutes, but the fragrance is designed to linger in a room for several hours. It is intended to gently refresh a space rather than overwhelm it.
The 'Tradition' booklet features the original sweet, vanilla, and balsamic scent; 'Arménie' offers a more complex, woody, and spicy profile created by Francis Kurkdjian; and 'Rose' provides a delicate, soft floral aroma.
Yes, because they are designed to be subtle and are not as heavy as traditional incense sticks, they are well-suited for smaller spaces. They provide a gentle, atmospheric scent that is easy to control.
Yes, the gift set includes three booklets of 36 strips each and a box of matches, so you have everything required to begin using them right out of the box.
