Davana is an aromatic note with a distinctive fruity-herbal profile: soft, slightly sweet and often reminiscent of ripe fruit threaded with green, bitter nuances. In perfume, it gives an accord more character than a straightforward fruit note, with a warm, faintly ambery edge that keeps the effect from becoming sugary or overly sharp.
Usually placed around the top or heart of a composition, davana works naturally with woods, amber, spices, florals and other herbs. Its expression shifts with the surrounding materials: citrus and green notes make it brighter and more aromatic, while vanilla, amber and woods draw out its rounder, liqueur-like side. These women's fragrances suit shoppers seeking an unusual botanical accent in fruity, floral or warm woody scents.
