There is increasing number of new fragrances from oriental line on the market, which composition is expressive and original, for example Black Opium (2014), oriental-spicy perfumes with floral and fruity notes, intended for women. Aim. The aim of this study was determination of qualitative and quantitative composition of two high quality perfumes, Opium and Black Opium (1 and 2) and their thirteen cheaper substitutes available on the market (3-15). Comparison of selected ingredients content (% and μg) of perfumes 1 and 2 with the ingredients of their substitutes. Material and methods. Fifteen perfumes (1-15) was analyzed by GC/MS technique. The principle of determination was based on comparison of MS spectra recorded GC chromatographic peak with the highest value retention time (RT) sample with MS spectrum of the standard set out in the library spectra NIST5. References of potential allergens in concentration 95-99% were used in quantitative analysis. Results. High quality perfumes 1 and 2 contain three compounds from the group of potential allergens: limonene, linalool and benzyl salicylate. Perfume number 3, from fifteen analyzed perfumes, contains the highest amount of limonene and linalool, respectively 123,26 μg (1,128%) and 122,37 μg (1,120%). Benzyl salicylate was detected in eleven products, geraniol in four, Lilial® in two, eugenol in six, benzyl benzoate in one. Conclusions. The results of selected components analysis of high quality perfumes and their substitutes with using GC/MS technique indicate that components and their concentrations in all samples (1-15) comply with IFRA Standards.
