On climb out from ZZZ we noticed a strong odor that I would describe as a PACK (Pneumatic Air Conditioning Kit) odor; specifically a hot PACK. We had no ECAM messages. I consulted the QRH and felt the Cabin Air Poor Quality procedure may help even though we had no complaints from the cabin. After running the procedure; the odor dissipated and air quality became acceptable; we went back to a normal configuration. We also submitted a [maintenance request] for maintenance to take a look at the issue upon arrival in ZZZ1.On descent the odor started to return though not as strong; we landed uneventfully.
A-320 Captain reported strong odor of hot PACK briefly during climb and descent with no other indications.
