Abstract: Within this work, tazetta, one of the fragrant narcissus species used in the perfume industry, was extracted by steam distillation. The extracts were chemically analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). All substances of perfume, synthetic essence, and essential oil of narcissus flower were prepared and their constituents were identified and compared based on GC/MS results. Their harmful compounds were also identified using MSDS and LD50 methods. According to the obtained information of MSDS and LD50, essential oil of flower, perfume and synthetic essence all contain harmful compounds with many side effects to be considered with extra care for the human health.
