olfactologue

français vers anglais Autre Cosmétiques / produits de beauté Perfumes
This is a text about Givenchy perfumes, and there are several quotes from an "olfactologue" who describes the fragrances.

"Avec Insensé, c’est à un tout autre homme que s’adresse Givenchy. «Très lumineuse, fondée sur des accords floraux verts, cette fragrance est marginale, décalée, poursuit l’olfactologue. Avec ses senteurs sèches résineuses, aiguilles de pin et cèdre, il illustre le bonheur personnel, la gaîté et la spontanéité ». "

I've found the term "perfumista" on the web, but am not sure if it's's the same thing. Can anyone clear things up for me?
