The art of Perfumery, by Edmond Roudnitska.
How to smell, method.
In Perfumes, art, science and technology, edited by Müller & Lamparsky
The composer should practise smelling only minute quantities of diluted products. The olfactive epithelium and its mucous layer thus regenerate more rapidly and can be used more often with increased fidelity. The sense of smell will sharpen, become more refined and be able to discern delicate nuances.
We therefore recommend smelling alcohol bases, diluted according to the intensity of the odorant being tested.
Dip only the tip of the strip (blotter) in the fragrance and record the time and day of the operation. Breathe evenly during the olfactory process. Smell the odorant with slow deep breaths depending on the intensity of the odorant and on the necessities of your own capacity of concentration.
Quickly write down the impressions in the order received.
An odorant may have several "faces", or several nuances. The observer must remain objective and not linger on any one pleasant or unpleasant characteristic as this could completely prevent him from discerning the other faces.
The observer must make the difficult effort of reducing his field of observation to the odorant and increasing his awareness of it to capture its every detail.
