Davana
Davana is a uniquely Indian aromatic herb from the Artemisia family, smelling fruity, woody and balsamic with a distinctive apricot-strawberry-tea character unlike anything Western. Used in Ayurveda and Indian perfumery for centuries, it is one of India's great contributions to world fragrance. In perfumery it adds an exotic fruity-woody depth to orientals and niche compositions. In Indian weather, davana feels like home, its complex character blooming in warm air. A treasure of Indian perfumery that deserves global recognition.
