The essential oil from the flowers of Paulownia tomentosa (Thunb.) Steud. was obtained through hydrodistillation. The chemical components were separated and identified by GC-MS. Relative content of each component was determined by area nomalization. Sixty-nine compounds representing 89.33% of the oil were identified. The most abundant constituents were benzyl alcohol (13.276%), 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene (8.342%), phenol, 2-methoxy-3-(2-propenyl) (6.141%), phenol, 3,4-dimethoxy-(3.986%), tricosane (3.682%) and pentacosane (3.238%).
