Poet's daffodil is cultivated in the Netherlands and
southern
France for its essential oil, narcissus oil, one of
the most
popular fragrances used in perfumes.
While all narcissi
are poisonous when eaten, Poet's Daffodil is more dangerous than others, acting as
a strong emetic and
irritant. The scent is powerful enough that it can cause headache and vomiting if a large
quantity is kept in a closed room.
