The Aromatic Paper of Eritrea was created in 1927 by Dr. Vittoriano Casanova, a pharmacist in Piacenza, who after over three years of research created an Officinal Aromatic Paper which, through fumigation, could persistently perfume environments in a manner compliant with the Official Pharmacopoeias of some Northern European countries.
The Aromatic Paper of Eritrea has been made ever since with the same formulation, composed of a mix of over 30 natural essential oils, the majority of which are of African and Asian origin, musks and resins. The latter are still pulverized by hand in a mortar and left to infuse in pure alcohol for weeks. The bibulous paper composed of pure cellulose is soaked in the final mixture by adsorption, and after drying it is cut and die-cut to create the classic "booklets".
The extraordinary scent of Eritrean Aromatic Paper, released by the combustion of the strips, is created without the use of artificial colorings or fragrances reconstructed in the laboratory. With the inimitable fragrance of the Aromatic Paper of Eritrea, a complete line of products for the scenting of rooms, cars and for aromatherapy is created.
Eritrean Aromatic Paper is considered non-toxic and non-harmful even in the combustion phase.
