Summary/Abstract: Based on the omnipresence of metaphor in our daily life and its action as an organizing principle of our thoughts, the present article aims to compare the configuration of the metaphor in two sensorial domains: taste and the smell. The study also aims to compare the conceptual systematicity of taste and olfactory metaphors in Romanian and French by analyzing the lexicalized metaphorical structures of the two languages. The comparison of the linguistic structures expressing sensorial experiences, referring to taste and smell areas in these two languages will allow us to highlight their specific ways of structuring the reality as well as their conceptual overlapping.
