As 2025 comes to a close, all of us at Olores.org would like to extend our warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season and a bright start to the new year. This is a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate — to look back with gratitude and look forward with hope.

   Whether you’re spending these days surrounded by loved ones, traveling, or taking a well‑deserved moment of rest, we hope that peace, happiness, and inspiration fill your days.

   The journal Atmosphere invites researchers to contribute to the 2nd edition of the special issue "Environmental Odour," focusing on odour emissions, dispersion, measurement, modelling, and impact assessment across sectors like waste management, agriculture, and industry.

   The submission deadline has been extended to May 11, 2026, providing plenty of time for authors to prepare high-quality manuscripts. Full details, including scope and submission guidelines, are available on the special issue webpage.

   The members of AMIGO proposed celebrating "Odour Day" in some way. However, the first question was: when should it be celebrated? Several dates were discussed, as there are already "Odour Days" in places like the USA, though the history behind them was not known. In the end, 2nd December was proposed as Odour Day, as it marks the date of the first meeting that led to the publication of the first international standard to measure odour in 1991.

   Last year we recorded some videos with some friends to celebrate this day, but today, we would like you to celebrate this day in a different way. We would like to invite you to celebrate this day in some smelly way. In a good smelly way ;-). With a delicious freshly baked cake, savoring the aroma of coffee or with the scents of a good glass of wine. Congratulations odour managers, today is your day!
