The davana plant is commercially cultivated for its fragrant leaves and flowers. It belongs to the family of Asteraceae. It has two distinct morphological types, one in which the plants are short in stature and flowering sets in early, and the other in which plants are tall and flowering sets in later. It grows from seeds and cuttings and reaches maturity in four months. Davana oil is obtained by the steam distillation of fresh, overground parts of Artemisia pallens. This oil is a free-flowing liquid that is orange-yellow to reddish orange in colour. The product is warm and herbaceous, with woody undertones and a slight camphorous note. Davanone, davan ether, davana furan and linalool are the major constituents of davana oil. Davana oil is used to add flavour to beverages and making perfumes of sweet and fruity fragrances.
