Trademarking Smells

Question

Hello,

Is it true that you can get a Trademark for a smell? Is this possible in the European Union and what would be the requirements to apply for such a Trademark?

Best regards,

I have never heard of being able to trademark a smell.

However, if you know the chemical compound that makes up the smell, it is likely that you can get a patent on the molecule if one does not already exist and the "smell" is not considered part of the public domain.
