Most studies of conifers are dealing with the investigation of essential oils of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), Siberian larch (Larix sibirica), and Siberean fir (Abies sibirica). Whitewood (Picea abies (L.) Karst) is widely distributed in European Russia. Its strobiles used as infusions to treat upper respiratory tract diseases are permitted for medical use. A chromatographic-mass spectrometric method was used to investigate the component composition of essential oil from the arboreal greenery and strobiles of whitewood. The major components of essential oil were pinene, bornyl acetate, borneol, and caryophyllene. The composition of essential oil varies depending on the plant organ and sample. The essential oil of whitewood arboreal greenery contains 20–40 components; mainly this is a light-volatile monoterpene fraction. The essential oil of whitewood strobiles has been ascertained to contain 8–12 components.
