Consequently because the olfactory system is essentially just a bunch of different receptors picking up different chemicals, I think its well known that designing a system that can detect various odors (including those it never encountered before) has been a complex issue. Props to research in this area!

Although the comment on skatole did make me laugh a little. :V
