To provide a method of producing scented tissue paper. The problem is solved by performing shrink wrapping in which a tissue paper housing obtained by carrying fragrance-containing microcapsules on an inner surface of a housing box using a binder is covered with a shrink film and the shrink film is exposed to hot air W so as to be attached to the tissue paper housing, causing the fragrance-containing microcapsules to be detached from the binder by heating the tissue paper housing at the time of the shrink wrapping, and providing the scent for plural sheets of tissue papers.
