Odor; Physical
Odor is a physical property because it can be observed and measured without changing the chemical composition of the substance. It is a sensory perception that is detected through the sense of smell.
Destiny is neither physical nor chemical. Density however, is a physical property that relates the mass of a material to the volume it occupies.
Odor is a human sense (or an animal sense), if you lack the organs for detecting it, then a substance is "odorless" ... to you. Note that (for us mammals) a substance must be in vapor form to be detected, thus solids lack odor in general, while heating intensifies odor.
its physicalAdded: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.[I would indeed call those pungent odors]
Yes. Sodium benzoate is a compound and thus a pure substance.

Odor; Physical
The smell of alcohol is a physical property. Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. The odor is related to the volatile compounds present in alcohol, which can evaporate and be detected by our sense of smell.
Both the sense of taste and the sense of smell detect the chemical composition of a substance through chemoreceptors.Taste is detected by the tongue in solids and in liquids, while smell is detected by the nose in airborn substances.

smell/nose
Your SENSE of smell is physical, but smells are created by chemical interactions.
The fragrance of a flower is a physical property. It is a result of volatile organic compounds released by the flower that can be detected by the sense of smell, without involving any chemical reactions.
Any chemical compound, natural or artificial is a chemical substance. In the colloquial discussion the term substance is used in a more large sense, applied frequently to many materials.
Floating is a physical property, and is not a 'change' in any sense.
