In recent years, there has been a rise in research on sensorium in various academic disciplines. Olfaction is recognized as a sense that is most closely linked to cognition, memory and emotion. Due to this unique feature, studies on various aspects of human olfaction are steadily gaining prominence in the humanities and social sciences. In order to understand how the olfactory modality is marked, several taxonomies and semantic spaces of olfactory terms have been developed. However, the focus has been on the general olfaction lexicon and there is a lack of systematic and comprehensive lexicons for fragrant smells. This article addresses this gap. It adopts a multilingual perspective and describes the process of developing a fragrance lexicon in two languages, Russian and English. A fragrance lexicon refers to a list of words that people might use to describe a perfume. The steps in the lexicon development included •sourcing the lexical items in the two languages•translating and cleaning the word lists•revising and refining the lexiconThe fragrance lexicon presented in this article can be used to aid linguistic analyses of naturally occurring communications about perfumes, such as computational analyses of consumer-generated perfume reviews.
近年来，各学科领域对感官的研究不断增加。嗅觉被认为是与认知、记忆和情感联系最为紧密的一种感官。由于这一独特特性，关于人类嗅觉各个方面的研究在人文社科领域正逐渐受到重视。为了理解嗅觉模式是如何被标记的，人们已经开发了几种嗅觉术语的分类法和语义空间。然而，重点一直放在一般的嗅觉词汇上，缺乏针对芬芳气味的系统而全面的词汇表。本文弥补了这一空白。它采用多语言视角，描述了以俄语和英语两种语言开发香水词汇表的过程。香水词汇表是指人们可能用来描述香水的一系列词汇。词汇表开发步骤包括：在两种语言中获取词汇条目、翻译并清理单词列表、修订和完善词汇表。本文呈现的香水词汇表可用于辅助对有关香水的自然交流进行语言分析，比如对消费者生成的香水评论进行计算分析。
