A wisp of smoke, inherited from purification rituals.
Papier d'Arménie, the ancient, resinous gesture of Santa Maria Novella.
Benzoin, aromatic resins, and natural balms slowly smolder without ever flaring up. A light, warm, balsamic smoke then rises, carried by a woody breath that purifies the air without weighing it down. The imprint remains discreet, almost immaterial, like an incense that belongs to no specific place.
Simply fold a strip like an accordion, touch a flame to its tip, then let the fire extinguish for the ritual to begin. Tucked into a closet or placed in a small dish, this 19th-century gesture quietly closes out the day.
It is neither a still fruit nor a garden awaking, but a smoke that fades away — and yet, always returns.

A note from Maison Diaphane
An ancient scented ritual, blending balsamic smoke, precious resins, and soothing silence. Founded in Florence in 1221, Santa Maria Novella is the oldest artisanal perfumery and pharmacy in the world. Born in a Dominican convent, the house began crafting balms, ointments, and herbal remedies from its inception. Its ancestral savoir-faire has been passed down to this day, blending tradition and excellence. Renowned for its iconic perfumes, candles, and preparations, it embodies Florentine elegance. Santa Maria Novella offers a unique sensory experience, rooted in eight centuries of history.
