Essential oil Davana

Essential oil Davana is an essential oil, intended for use as a fragrance raw material in perfume or shower gel, for example.

Use

The scent of Davana essential oil is unique and special: a spicy berry scent with green and camphoraceous aspects. Also some rose and spice aspects. Davana goes well with the scent of herbs and spices, but also adds spice to fruity perfumes. It goes well with rose, and gives a special note to chypres and amber perfumes. It is a unique scent in many respects and therefore an important addition to the perfume organ, especially for natural perfumers. In perfumes it is primarily a heart note. The stability in soap is not well described in the literature, but due to the composition it is probably good.

The scent of essential oil Davana is very strong and can easily overpower. For that reason, making a 10% dilution may make sense. Store in a cool, dry, dark place and out of the reach of children.

Properties
