  Umm  37 ... that's old shoe leather :) 
 
 Is there an ANSI standard yet for the smell-o-vision numbering? 
 
Or an RFC? (1-April or not)
Perhaps one needs to develop a smell-o-wheel in the same vein as a
color wheel?  Before one dismisses it out of hand as being friviolous,
think of ester combos as a set of intersection in a grid/orthogonal
packing shape (butyric/acetic/etc acid plus
methanol/ethanol/butenol/propanol/etc).  It won't cover all possible
odors, but it would at least allow one to generate a coordinate for
certain smells.
