Davana essential oil, from India's Artemisia pallens, is a unique, sweet, fruity, woody oil valued in perfumery for its complex, ever-changing scent on different people, often described as boozy or jammy. Extracted by steam distillation, it's used in aromatherapy for stress relief, relaxation, and spiritual balance, offering potential antiseptic and analgesic properties, but should be used cautiously, especially by pregnant women, due to its ketone content. Its oil, rich in davanone, blends well with florals, woods, spices, and amber, providing tenacity and a grounding, mood-lifting effect, making it a versatile ingredient in fine fragrances.
