Odournet France – Sensenet: New premises for your olfactory projects!

20 January 2025

Odournet France – Sensenet, experts in olfactory measurement and analysis, reached a crucial milestone in May 2024 with the relocation of its activities to modern, high-performance premises. This new environment reflects our determination to combine innovation, respect for the environment and employee comfort.

 Why odor measurement is essential  

When it comes to products and materials, odors are a key element in the user experience and perception of quality. Whether for household products, industrial materials or packaging, olfactory analysis helps optimize sensory characteristics, ensure regulatory compliance and meet consumer expectations. At Odournet France – Sensenet, we offer advanced methods for detecting, analyzing and evaluating odors, providing precise, tailored solutions.

An eco-responsible building to match our ambitions  

Our new headquarters embodies our values: built in part with eco-materials and equipped with photovoltaic panels, it illustrates our commitment to ecological transition and energy sobriety. This modern, sustainable setting enables us to better support the growth of our business while guaranteeing an optimal working environment for our teams.

An optimized infrastructure for our expertise, with  

  • – An olfactometry laboratory  

Compliant with EN 13725:2022 and COFRAC accredited (scope no. 1-1964, available at www.cofrac.fr), our laboratory enables us to measure odor concentration with precision, using a rigorously selected panel. We also carry out olfactory threshold analyses of ingredients and odorant solutions.

  • – A sensory analysis laboratory  

Equipped with 10 evaluation booths, it is dedicated to in-depth descriptive studies of products and materials, carried out by trained panellists. Our analyses enable us to identify precise olfactory characteristics and determine their impact on the end-user.

  • – A sample preparation area  

An area dedicated to the development of customized protocols and sample preparation, enabling evaluations as close as possible to real-life conditions. This is where we design malodors to test the effectiveness of products designed to reduce or mask odors.

  • – An in-vivo test zone  

Dedicated to the evaluation of products such as deodorants and antiperspirants, this zone hosts volunteers who test products under real-life conditions, including physical activities such as cycling. These tests enable us to assess product performance directly on users.
