"Armenie" Candle

Vegetable wax, cotton wick, approximately 220 g for more than 50 hours of burning time. Produced in France using exceptional expertise inherited from master wax makers.

When using the candle for the first time, let it burn for 2 or 3 hours at a time, until all the wax on the surface has become liquid. This will ensure your candle burns evenly the next time.

Extinguish the flame so that the hot wax diffuses its aromas.
Never leave a candle burning unattended for more than 3 hours at a time.
Trim the wick regularly to a length of 3 to 5 mm. This will allow the candle to burn longer and prevent the wick from blackening in the wax.
Always use a snuffer or dip the burning wick into the wax to extinguish it.
Avoid inhaling smoke directly.
Ventilate the room after use.
Burn the candle out of reach of children and pets.
Do not expose candles to drafts.
Do not place candles near a heat source.
Place the candles in an upright position.
Do not blow on the flame to extinguish it.
Always use a candle holder.
Do not leave matches or other debris on the wax to avoid splintering.
Never use liquid to extinguish a candle.
Do not move a burning candle.
Never place the candle on a cold surface such as marble.

The history of Papier d’Arménie™ starts in the 19th century when, on a trip to Armenia, Auguste Ponsot noticed the local people scented and disinfected their homes by burning benzoin. This traditional and ecologically-sound practice appealed, and he decided to import the product to France.

The "traditionnel" booklet, first produced in 1885, with its sweet, vanilla and balsamic notes evocative of the Far East.

The "Arménie" booklet. The aromas of incense and myrrh fit well with the woody and vanilla notes. The booklet is the outcome of a meeting Francis Kurkdjian, the famous perfumer.

The "la Rose" booklet, redesigned by Francis Kurkdjian. With roses imported from Iran and Turkey, it builds a dual fragrance conveyed by a full-bodied rose, fruity as petal jam with a mellow touch.
