Also, don't confuse "therefor" (in exchange for) and "therefore" (consequently; as the result). Here, you want to say "therefore."

In this case, I would say no.
Sense (as a noun) refers to the thing you are using, like the sense of smell, the sense of sight, things like that.
Sensation in the text you wrote refers to what you're experiencing using that sense. In this sentence, you experience the odours, so it's a sensation.
You could say:
"The perception of smell, therefore, consists of not only sensing the odours ..."
In this case, using "sense" as a verb.
