About this material
Artemisia Pallens Flower Extract
Davana Oil is one of perfumery’s most intriguing natural materials, prized for its rich, fruit-laced warmth and distinctive herbal complexity.
Steam distilled from Artemisia pallens, this precious oil opens with an unusual burst of ripe berry, dried apricot and dark fruit before revealing a liquorous, balsamic heart with soft green, hay-like and tea-like undertones.
Its character is opulent, diffusive and highly recognisable: sweet yet aromatic, fruity yet earthy, with a warm ambered depth that can bring sensuality, natural richness and individuality to fine fragrance compositions.
Davana is especially valued for the way it behaves differently on the skin, giving it a chameleon-like quality that can add depth and intrigue to both natural and modern perfume structures.
Use Davana Oil to enrich fruity accords, amber compositions, chypres, florals, tobacco-style accords, tea notes, herbal blends and natural perfume bases.
In trace amounts it can add lift, warmth and a dark fruity glow; at higher levels it becomes a bold signature material with unmistakable liquorous, herbal and dried-fruit character.
Use carefully; Davana can easily dominate a blend. It is highly distinctive and can be very powerful in composition.
We recommend evaluating this material at a low dilution of around 2% before use in fragrance formulations, as even trace amounts can introduce a pronounced fruity, herbal, liquorous and balsamic character.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Fruit with its peel
With citrus and leafy contrastsExplore a fruit sketch that includes a suggestion of peel or leaf. Compare those accents separately against the fruity reference, noticing whether they create a fresher impression or pull the idea away from the fruit you imagined.
An orchard in bloom
With rose or another familiar flowerPlace the fruity direction beside a simple floral accord. Keep a flower-only comparison and assess whether the fruit reads as a supporting accent, a juicy centre or a separate note that needs a different setting.
Fruit and cream
With vanilla and soft wood directionsSketch a more rounded fruit idea with vanilla as one variation and soft wood as another. Compare sweetness and texture before combining both, leaving room for the original fruity character to remain identifiable in the study.
