What is benzoin?

Benzoin is a natural aromatic resin extracted from Styrax trees, which grow primarily in tropical regions. The benzoin used by Papier d’Arménie comes from Laos.

Renowned for its warm, balsamic fragrance, this resin has been used for centuries in perfumery, incense, and air purification traditions.

The benefits of benzoin resin

Purifies indoor air

Thanks to its sanitizing and antiseptic properties, benzoin resin naturally purifies the air in your home, for a healthy environment every day.

Neutralizes bad odors

Benzoin is particularly effective at neutralizing odors from:

  • Tobacco
  • Kitchen (fish, fried food, garbage…)
  • Animals
  • Humidity

Rather than simply masking odors, it helps to eliminate them naturally.

Create a relaxing and soothing atmosphere

Its sweet, slightly vanilla and balsamic fragrance creates a warm and soothing atmosphere.

Benzoin resin is ideal for creating a moment of calm, a cozy atmosphere or accompanying a meditation session.

Natural alternative

Without chemicals or synthetic perfumes, benzoin is a natural solution, respectful of indoor air and the environment.

His role in the Armenian Paper

Benzoin resin is much more than just a perfume: it is at the heart of Papier d’Arménie, a product made using traditional know-how passed down since the 19th century.

Its sweet fragrance, combined with its purifying and relaxing properties, transforms your home into a warm and soothing space.
