NACSW is the only official sanctioning and organizing body for the sport of K9 Nose Work.

Target Odors

The Nose Work target odors are made using cotton swabs scented with natural essential oils. The three target odors are Birch, Anise and Clove.


The target scents are introduced in the following order:

1.) Birch  (we use "Sweet Birch" aka Betula Lenta)
2.) Anise (we use "Aniseed" aka Pimpinella anisum variety, NOT Star Anise,Illicium verum)
3.) Clove (we use "Clove Bud" aka Eugenia Caryophylatta or Syzgium Aromaticum)


NACSW approved Nose Work kits, Oils and recipes now available. Please visit:
