Not knowing what you are looking for it is hard to give you a list.  Try typing 'volatile oils' into google.

This is the second hit on the 1st page.

Almond oil isn't volatile enough to steam distil.

Rose oil is volatile and will distil, but there isn't much of it so, unless you have a lot of roses, you are not going to see the oil- you should be able to smell it.

 

The terms "fixed oil" and "essential oil" are very old fashioned but  they  (pretty much) mean  oils that can not be steam distilled and those that can't.

So, essential oils are volatile (by that definition).

Almond oil is a "fixed oil".
