Santolina chamaecyparissus L. is important herb known for its anti-helminitc, antispasmodic and emmenagogic properties. Metabolic profiling using GC and GC-MS was applied to determine chemical differences between conventionally seed propagated and micro-propagated plants. Oil yield range was showed that the essential oil isolated from foliage of regenerated plantlets was a complex mixture, 25 compounds were identified corresponding to 80% of the total oil content. The analysis of the identified constituents included mono-terpene hydrocarbon, oxygenated mono-terpene, sesqui-terpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesqui-terpene The major constituents were artemisia ketone, 1,8-cineole, myrcene, limonene, linalool, cis b-ocimene and b-caryophyllene oxide
