Abstract :The essential oil of the herb of the medicinal plant known as "smoke tree” (Cotinus coggygria Scop.) from Eastern, Anatolia (Turkey) was analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Twenty ingredients were identified for flowers representing 100% of the total oil while eleven ingredients were characterized in leaf essential oil comprising 99.96% of the oil extracted. As thymol (31.33%) and carvone (20.57%) were comprising main ingredients of the flower oil, the major ingredients of the leaf were determined as limonene and cis-ocimene by 48.53% and 23.57%, respectively. Identification of thymol form leaf sample as the predominant ingredient was first reported.Keywords : Cotinus coggygria Scop., GC/MS, essential oil, thymol, carvone
