Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents Davana Oil, a highly coveted, artisanal-grade botanical extract renowned for its complex, boozy, dark-fruity aroma and remarkable adaptive fragrance properties. Distilled using time-honored steam distillation techniques refined over generations and paired with state-of-the-art modern extraction technology, our 100% pure Davana Essential Oil (Artemisia pallens) represents the pinnacle of therapeutic and perfumery-grade quality. This exquisite oil is sourced from sustainably cultivated herbs, ensuring an unmatched level of purity, chemical consistency, and olfactory depth that discerning B2B buyers, cosmetic formulators, and global fragrance houses demand.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

In fine perfumery, Davana Oil is celebrated as a highly sophisticated, chameleonic middle-to-base note. It boasts a rich, sweet, boozy, and dried-fruit olfactory profile (reminiscent of apricot and plum) accented by subtle herbaceous, woody, and warm balsamic undertones. A unique characteristic of this oil is its ability to adapt to individual skin chemistry, acting as an adaptive fragrance that creates a highly personalized scent profile on the wearer. This makes it an invaluable asset for natural perfume formulation.

Beyond fine fragrance, Davana Oil is highly versatile and widely utilized across several industrial applications:

• Fine Fragrances & Natural Perfumery: Acts as an exceptional natural fixative and complex modifier for oriental, chypre, and fruity-floral accords.
• Premium Cosmetics & Skincare: Infused into high-end formulations for its ability to support healthy-looking skin, soothe blemishes, and provide an exotic scent.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Formulated into mood-enhancing and grounding aromatherapy blends to help soothe feelings of stress, anxiety, and emotional tension.
• Personal Care & Soaps: Used in luxury bath products, artisanal soaps, and high-end candle manufacturing for its robust, long-lasting aroma.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

For master perfumers and cosmetic chemists, Davana Oil offers incredible versatility. Here are professional-grade guidelines for integrating this rare oil into your formulations:

• Fine Fragrance Accord Idea: Combine Davana Oil (2-5% of the fragrance concentrate) with Rose Absolute, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. The high concentration of methyl and ethyl cinnamates in Davana acts as a natural bridge, grounding the top notes while adding a rich, boozy-sweet depth to the base.
• Grounding Aromatherapy Blend: For emotional balance and stress relief, formulate a diffuser blend using 4 drops of Davana Oil, 3 drops of Bergamot, and 2 drops of Frankincense. This synergy acts as a natural aphrodisiac oil and powerful mood enhancer.
• Skincare & Cosmetic Dilution: To leverage its antimicrobial and skin-nourishing benefits, incorporate Davana Oil at a 0.5% to 1.5% dilution rate in a premium carrier oil such as Jojoba or Fractionated Coconut Oil. This concentration is ideal for face serums designed to target blemishes.
• Soap & Candle Formulations: Use at a rate of 2% in cold-process soaps. The sesquiterpene ketones in our Davana Oil ensure high heat stability, allowing the rich, sweet fruity scent to persist through the curing process.
