Photo Davana :: fragrance ingredients

Davana (Artemisia pallens) is a unique and complex ingredient in perfumery, highly valued for its rich, fruity, and slightly woody aroma. Originating from India, Davana has been traditionally used in religious offerings and perfumes. In modern perfumery, it's appreciated for its chameleon-like quality, reacting differently on each person's skin, thus creating a personalized fragrance experience. It's often utilized to add a touch of exoticism and sophistication to a fragrance, harmonizing well with a wide range of notes from florals to spices.

Natural or Synthetic?
Davana essential oil is naturally extracted from the flowers and leaves of the Artemisia pallens plant through steam distillation. This method preserves the intricate aroma profile of Davana, making it a sought-after natural ingredient in perfumery.
