Grown and cultivated in India Davana Oil is used throughout the perfumery and flavour world. The odour is fresh and fruity with hints of vanilla, strawberry and blackcurrant. It can be classed as a medium strength base note in for both flavours and fragrances.
The scent is thought to be comforting and as such offers a relaxing effect when used in aromatherapy.
Davana also has many therapeutic benefits, which include uses as an antidepressant as well its properties offering antiseptic, antiviral and a mild insect repellent benefits.
Fresh davana oil from the 2026 crop is now available following the main harvesting and distillation period earlier in the year. Production remains highly specialised and concentrated principally in southern India, with Karnataka continuing to play an important role in commercial cultivation.
Following the elevated values seen in earlier seasons, improved cultivation has helped ease some of the previous supply pressure. Nevertheless, davana remains a relatively small-volume oil, and availability of high-quality material can change quickly depending on crop performance and buyer activity.
