The sense of smell is not considered a form of matter. However, the smell or odor of a substance is classified as matter. The smell of any substance (say, perfume) is the gaseous form of that substance which our olfactory system can detect (even at very low concentrations). Gas particles move very quickly (air particles move at 500 m/s on average at room temperature). However, a smell does not travel this fast. This is because its particles collide with each other and with particles of air very frequently.
