A member of the daisy family, the flowering herb is native to southern India, where it has been prized by Ayurvedic healers for thousands of years. The leaves, stems, and yellow flowers of the plant are steam distilled to produce this EO extraordinaire. It’s a must-have if you are looking for a new beauty hack or a balancing, mood-boosting aroma.

Get the most out of every drop of Davana with these tips.

What is Davana essential oil used for?

You don’t have to be an Ayurvedic healer to use Davana. Discover the benefits of adding this multitasking rock star to your routine.

Subtle, sultry scent

Davana is adaptive, which means that it smells and reacts differently to each person’s body chemistry. This scent chameleon allows you to create a unique personal fragrance without any of the iffy ingredients found in many commercial perfumes and colognes.

Want to make your own scent using Davana as a heart note? Try these ideas:

1. Wear Davana on its own; apply directly to the skin or add a roller top to make application easy.

2. Combine with another floral scent like Joy™ or Ylang Ylang.

3. Try it with something musky like Patchouli or Frankincense.

4. Use Shutran® essential oil blend as cologne—Davana is a key ingredient.

5. Inspire romance by combining Davana with Jasmine and Sacred Sandalwood™.

What does Davana smell like?

Fruity, floral, and a tad woodsy, Davana’s aroma is used as an aphrodisiac in some cultures. Now you, too, can set the mood with this flirty and fragrant oil that might remind you of apricots ripening in the sun, freshly cut hay, or a stroll through a wooded forest. Some people also pick up a subtle licorice note, and others experience earthy richness.

Clear complexion
