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
If you like how Davana smells, you’ll love what it does for your skin. When used as part of a daily skin care regimen, Davana helps you put your freshest face forward. Check out our favorite tips for pampering your complexion with this beauty essential:
