Odor is by many considered as chemical interaction with nasal odor receptors, though this is still under dispute.
I, personally, would be more of the 'physical' odor perception, because the odor-creating molecules (eg. in perfume) do not change at all while being 'percepted' in your nose.
However there are also undoubtly pure chemical odor perceptions, like those of (gaseous) 'acids', 'ammonia', 'formalin' and hydrogen sulfide.

Is the smell of vinegar a chemical property?
It's a physical property, because physical properties are color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, apprearance, or repulsion (diamagnetic) to magnets, opacity, viscosity and density.
Is a melting point a chemical property?
melting is a physical property, not chemical property.
Is odorless gas a chemical property or a physical property?
Odor is a chemical property.
Is odor is physical property?
Partly but it is also a chemical property.
Is odor a chemical or a physical?
Odor results from chemical reactions. Sensors in your nostrils bind with specific compounds in the air to detect scents. But this is not to be confused with the fact that odor is a physical property.
