„Poet's daffodil is cultivated in the Netherlands and southern France for its essential oil, narcissus oil, one of the most popular fragrances used in perfumes.“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_poeticus

„Another scent highly regarded for its intensity and complexity emerges from the absolute of narcissus (Narcissus poeticus). Initially, it exhibits a strong green, woody and earthy note, and only upon dilution additional sweet floral, heavy and balsamic notes are discovered.“
Main components of the odoriferous part of the absolute (20%) are α-terpineol (23.7%), trans-isoeugenol methyl ether (20.0%), benzyl benzoate (19.4%), coumarin (6.9%), benzyl alcohol (5.0%), Δ3-carene (3.4%), phenylethanol (2.2%), ethyl palmitate (2.2%), cinnamic alcohol (2.2%), phenylpropyl acetate (1.7%), 1,8-cineole (1.5%), caryophyllene (1.0%), and benzyl acetate (0.7%). Minor components are: β-ionone, epoxy-β-ionone, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, and (E)-2-nonenal contributing a violet note; various phenols adding orange flower and ylang-ylang shades; methyl-β-orcinol carboxylate (evernyl), methyl everninate, and orcinol dimethyl ether adding woody notes; phenylacetonitrile, jasmine lactone and 1-p-menthen-9-al introducings floral shades.

„In case of narcissus, fragrance is extracted via hexane or petroleum ether solvent from flowers resulting in 0.2-0.3% concrete or by supercritical CO 2 extraction resulting in a yield of 0.41% (Ehret et al., 1992; Ferri et al., 2009). In case of solvent extraction, it takes 1000 kg of flowers to produce 2kg of concrete or 750 g of absolute and the relative low productivity of absolute from narcissus makes it an expensive product, restricted to luxury perfumes.“
Main floral scent constituents collected by HS-SPME were:
Simple flowers: benzyl acetate (37.3%), (Z)-β-ocimene (34.8%), indole (4.6%)
Double flowers: (Z)-β-ocimene (21.8%), benzyl acetate (19.3%), 1,8-cineole (8.8%), phenylethyl acetate (8.4%)
