This invention relates to a method that can be used to scientifically fabricate pseudoscents of explosives, which, in their entirety, are comprised of non-energetic materials. It also discloses specific compositions of such pseudoscents, which can be used as energetically-inert-but-odoriferously-identical simulants for a range of explosives and are comprised of non-energetic components of the scent signature of an explosive and/or energetic scent components of the same headspace scent signature that have been rendered non-energetic. The scents achievable by the groups of formulations generated by this method encompass the different types of military and commercial explosives, and the components within the pseudoscents can be tuned to generate simulants representative of different qualities and quantities of such explosives. These explosive-scent simulants can be used to bolster existing explosive detecting dog (EDD) training programs, establish new training paradigms in canine, rodent, insect, and other creature explosive detection and training and, in some cases, increase the efficiencies of analytical instruments that rely on the phenomenon of vapor sampling to detect explosive materials.
