I don't think at the moment it is possible to "capture" smell in the way that we can with sound and vision.

First you would need to build a mechanical nose that can pick up and identify smells, then you could have that turn it into little 1s and 0s, and then you could take those ones and zeros and put them into a machine that can MAKE smells. That would be the hard part. If perhaps we had a few 'base smells' that all other smells could be made from, and these smells were available in liquid form, you would only have to mix the bases to form any one smell (the mechanical nose could tell the machine how to do this).

I don't think such a thing would be 100% accurate, though.

However, with perfume and the like, certain smells become widely available to the public, which, in a sense, is capturing them.

Dogs have 220 million olfactory cells so they do what better than humans?

When you reference olfactory cells, you are talking about the sense of smell. These nerve cells transmit what you smell to your brain so that it can decipher what it is you are smelling. There are so many smells though, and a person's olfactory cells cannot capture all of them nor can your brain decipher all of them. In a dog however, they have many, many more of these cells and a larger part of their brain is dedicated to their sense of smell. In short, they can smell a LOT better than we can.
