Variety: Artemisia Pallens Classification: Base Note[i]
Smelling Davana oil for the first time you would be forgiven for thinking you are smelling a fine aged bourbon or rum. Beloved for its fruity and liquor top notes, this luscious oil comes from many of the same areas as Indian Sandalwood Oil and it is prized, especially amongst natural perfumers, for contributing a fruit note that is otherwise difficult to obtain.
It is a member of the Artemisia family and not surprisingly it modifies and blends well with its relatives (particularly Armoise).
Note: Fraterworks is not a registered COSMOS company so while this product is CSM certified when it reaches us, we cannot use that terminology when we resell.

Davana Oil presents a remarkably complex aroma characterized by rich fruity notes with distinct boozy, wine-like qualities, balanced by sharp herbaceous undertones and a persistent sweet-balsamic warmth that uniquely adapts to each wearer's skin chemistry.
Used in fine fragrances as a diffusive middle note that bridges accords, adds complexity to florals, and creates distinctive fruity-boozy effects.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
