Chemical Senses is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of chemoreception, including taste, smell, vomeronasal, and trigeminal chemoreception in humans and other animals.

It is the official journal of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences,[1] the European Chemosensory Research Organization,[2] the Japanese Association for the Study of Taste and Smell, the Australasian Association for Chemosensory Science, and the Korean Society for Chemical Senses and Ingestive Behavior.

The journal was established in 1974 as Chemical Senses and Flavor, with Howard Moskowitz and Egon Peter Köster as founding editors.

Beginning with volume 3 in 1978, Chemical Senses & Flavor was published by IRL Press in association with the European Chemosensory Research Organization.

The publisher changed to Oxford University Press in 1989 (volume 14).
