Our rare Davana Essential Oil is steam distilled from fresh leaves and tops of the plant Artemisia pallens. This oil is produced by the same dedicated perfumers who make our Jasmine Absolute in India. An unrealized gem in the perfumery and natural essence world! This precious oil has a powerful, tenacious aroma that is warm and woody with a sweet, rich booziness. Davana Essential Oil is complex like wine, with syrupy notes of dried fruits and herbs. Hard to describe, but so easy to love!
It is very tenacious and useful in perfumery for its mysterious, penetrating quality and scent. Davana is said to smell differently on different persons. A peculiar quality that is valued in high class perfumery to create fragrances with truly individual notes. Traditionally Davana blossoms are offered to Shiva, the God of Transformation.
