The aim of the Olfaction & Perspectives conference is to help people discover or rediscover this sense and its importance in all areas: well-being, health, the environment, behaviour, etc. Its 6th edition will be held on 21 March 2024, in Gennevilliers (France) and in digital form.
This year’s conference will be based on the following observation: whether health, climate, social or energy-related, all the recent crises have impacted in one way or another on the world of odours and olfaction.
To illustrate this observation, 12 conferences will be organised around four themes.

• Time to eat! Beyond taste, the flavour of food
• Communication of positive emotions by human body odour

What fragrances for tomorrow?
