odophonen.

Brit.

/ˈəʊdə(ʊ)fəʊn/, U.S.

/ˈoʊdəˌfoʊn/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: Greek ὀδ- , -o- connective, -phone comb. form.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ὀδ- to smell (see odmyl n.) + -o- connective + -phone comb. form, apparently coined by George William Septimus Piesse (1820–82), French chemist and inventor of the odophone. The word is apparently not found in English or in French sources earlier than quot. 1885.

Now historical.

An instrument for converting scents or odours into musical notes for the purposes of devising perfumes based on harmonious combinations; a scale of scents or odours produced by this.
