Olfactory classification

Olfactory classification is a system used to categorize and describe different smells based on their chemical makeup and characteristic scents. It groups odors into categories like floral, fruity, spicy, woody, or smoky, helping us understand and communicate scent qualities. This classification aids in areas like perfumery, food flavoring, and scent branding by providing a structured way to identify and compare aromas. Essentially, it helps us organize the vast range of smells into meaningful groups for easier recognition and description.
