Determination of authenticity of brand perfume using electronic nose prototypes

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.
