  • Latest Market Information April 15, 2025

    Davana oil is obtained from the aromatic herb Artemisia pallens. It is cultivated in the southern states, particularly Karnataka and some parts of Andhra Pradesh. It thrives in warm, dry climates with well-drained, sandy loam soils. The plant is sensitive to excessive moisture.

    Oil is extracted through steam distillation of the flowering tops of davana plant. Its aroma is complex, sweet, and fruity, with subtle balsamic undertones. It is known to change on individual skin, making it highly valued in high-end perfumery. There is consistent demand, but limited supply of davana oil. Heavy rainfall and failed nurseries have delayed sowing in all major growing areas. This will adversely affect production timelines. Delayed sowing will also impact yield, which will further put a strain on supply. Carry-over stock from last season is also critically low. Due to the supply challenges prices will either firm or increase.
