The registered trademark and website Olores.org belong to Ambiente et Odora S.L.. In the photo below you can see Carlos Nietzsche Díaz, Cyntia Izquierdo, Ainhoa Antón and Lu Herrero.

Olores.org was founded in 2003 by Carlos, who continues to be the main contributor of many articles published on the site each year. A common misconception is that Olores.org has a large editorial team and substantial resources like other publications. In reality, we are just four people — Cyntia, Carlos, Lu, and Ainhoa — passionate about odour management. Another frequent misconception is that this is our full-time job. It isn’t. We are a small consultancy firm who, in our free time, dedicate effort to sharing knowledge and writing about odours/odors.
Another common misunderstanding is to think that we are a non-profit organization. The .org domain is not exactly the best domain to change this perception, and we know that. If you are looking for a non-profit organization dedicated to odour management, you might be interested in visiting the association AMIGO, of which, by the way, we are founding members. Other great organizations related to odour/odor or with committees dealing with this topic are the following ones;
- Odor Technical Committee (TC) of the Air and Waste Management Association (A&WMA)
- International Society of Olfaction and Chemical Sensing (ISOCS)
- Air Quality and Odor Control (AQOC) Committee of the Water Environmental Federation (WEF)
- International Environmental Society of Odour Managers (AMIGO)
- Odour Special Interest Group (OdourSIG) of the Clean Air Society for Australia and New Zealand (CASANZ)
- Italian Society of Chemical Engineers (AIDIC)
- Japan Association on Odor Environment (JAOE)
- Key Laboratory of Odor Pollution Control, Ministry of Ecology and Environment (KLPOC)
- Digital Olfaction Society (DOS)
- Specialist Group on Odours of the International Water Association (IWA)
- Sensors Council Standards Committee (SC-SC) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
- Commission on Air Pollution Control Committee of the Association of German Engineers (VDI/DIN)
