Davana
Davana is a unique fragrance note known for its rich, herbaceous, and fruity aroma with subtle balsamic and boozy undertones. Its scent profile is complex and multifaceted, often taking on slightly different characteristics depending on the composition it is blended with. Davana adds an exotic, warm, and sweet quality to perfumes, often used as a middle note to impart depth and intrigue. It pairs well with florals, spices, and woods, contributing to sophisticated and luxurious fragrances that exude warmth and sensuality.
History & Production: Davana (Artemisia pallens) is native to India and has been used in traditional Ayurvedic practices for its aromatic and medicinal properties. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the plant’s fresh leaves and flowering tops, capturing its distinctive sweet and herbaceous scent. Known for its ability to adapt and blend harmoniously with different notes, davana has been incorporated into perfumery for its transformative and rich olfactory character. Today, it is appreciated for adding a unique, warm sweetness that enhances the complexity and allure of both modern and traditional fragrance compositions.
