Description
Davana essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Artemisia pallens, grown in India. This rare, viscous, burnt-orange oil has a warm, green, herbaceous-balsamic aroma with sweet, fruity, almost boozy undertones, and acts as a grounding middle note.
Its rich, distinctive aroma is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with calming and settling the mind and easing everyday stress, and just a drop adds depth and a fruity warmth to blends with florals, woods and spice. It is potent and can sensitise the skin, so always use it in small amounts and patch test first.
- Warm, fruity, herbaceous-balsamic aroma
- Rare, grounding middle note that adds depth in tiny amounts
- Traditionally associated with calming and settling the mind
- Pairs well with jasmine, rose, sandalwood and sweet orange
Blends well with: Bergamot, sweet orange, jasmine, rose, ylang ylang, sandalwood, black pepper, cardamom, vanilla and amber
