Crocker and Henderson invented a system of odor classification which has four basic odors which they termed the odor square:
- Fragrant
- Acid
- Burnt
- Caprylic
They marketed the Crocker-Henderson Odor Classification Set as an educational tool. It contained vials of odorants for comparison, each labled with the basic odor and its position on a nine point scale (odors are rated 0 - 8 ).
However it did not reflect the psychophysical data as it became available and the Heening odor system and Zwaardemaker smell system have taken prominence.
