Artemisia pallens
25-50€ / 10ml

Davana is an aromatic plant from southern India, sacred in Hindu culture. Its Sanskrit name would mean 'the divine'. Indians of Karnataka offer it to the god Shiva during Shivaratri, and davana garlands perfume the temples. What fascinates perfumers: davana smells different on each person. Its davanone interacts with the skin's chemistry to create a fragrance unique to each wearer. Niche houses increasingly covet it as a signature ingredient.
Davana's singularity lies in its unique ability to metamorphose on each skin. Its olfactory profile blends stewed plum, honey, cognac and warm wood. Unlike related Artemisia species (wormwood, tarragon), davana does not contain thujone -- it is much safer. It occupies an original niche between sensual and soothing oil, ideal for intimate relaxation and self-reconnection.

Les huiles essentielles suivantes se combinent particuli\u00e8rement bien avec davana pour renforcer ou compl\u00e9ter ses effets :
Davana (Artemisia pallens) is an Indian plant used in Ayurvedic rituals. Its essential oil has a unique property: its scent changes according to the person's skin chemistry. Warm, fruity, balsamic with wine-like notes.
Davanone and other sesquiterpenes interact differently with each person's skin pH and microbiome. This chameleon-like property makes it prized in natural perfumery. Each person creates a unique signature with davana.
Davanone is a ketone but well tolerated at standard doses. Precaution in pregnant women and epileptics. For external use and diffusion. Moderate price (15-30 EUR/5ml).
