Davana has a fruity scent similar to a fine desert wine.

This is an oil mostly of interest to perfumers, although it has also been used in India for many years

A Flower to Auroville Mother--106

Arctander says

Davana oil  is a very dark green or brownish green, like other artemisia oils. It's odor is sharp, pendtrating, bitter-green, foliage-like and powerfully herbaceous with a sweet-balsamic, tenacious undertone. At the time of Arctander's writing (1960,) davana was a new oil and not much had been done with it. He does recommend blending with fougère, and chypre materials which contain oikmoss, labdanum, etc, but this has a lot to do with the color.
