The paper presents practical application of an electronic nose technique for fast and efficient discrimination between authentic and fake perfume samples. Two self-built electronic nose prototypes equipped with a set of semiconductor sensors were employed for that purpose. Additionally 10 volunteers took part in sensory analysis. The following perfumes and their fake counterparts were analysed: Dior – Fahrenheit, Eisenberg – J’ose, YSL – La nuit de L’homme, 7 Loewe and Spice Bomb. The investigations were carried out using headspace of the aqueous solutions. Data analysis utilized multidimensional techniques: PCA, LDA, k-NN. The obtained results confirmed legitimacy of the electronic nose technique as an alternative to the sensory analysis as far as determination of authenticity of perfume is concerned.
