<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Silicon chemistry has been demonstrated to be a novel source of chemical diversity in odorant design. The carbon/silicon switch strategy, <jats:italic>i.e.</jats:italic>, sila‐replacement in known odorants, is one of the methods currently used for the development of silicon‐based odorants. Examples resulting from this strategy are <jats:italic>sila‐coranol, sila‐dimetol, sila‐linalool, sila‐muguetalcohol, sila‐majantol, sila‐hydratropyl acetate, sila‐bourgeonal, sila‐lilial, disila‐versalide</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>disila‐okoumal.</jats:italic></jats:p>
