A smell reproduction technique is useful in the field of virtual reality. We have developed the system called an odor recorder for reproducing the smell recorded using the odor sensing technique. We proposed the new type of the odor recorder using the inkjet devices together with a mesh heater. Droplets with tiny volume were forcibly evaporated to generate smell rapidly and reproducibly. Moreover, the mesh heater was directly connected to the sensors without plumbing tubes and the sensors were placed away from the wall of sensor cell. The recording time of the odor with high odor intensity became much shorter than that of the previous system. Then, the recipe of jasmine scent composed of benzyl acetate and Ylang Ylang was successfully determined using the proposed system.
