Chemical. It is the interaction of the atoms of the odorant molecule with receptors on the cell surface of an olfactory cell of a human that gives rise to "odor."

Odour is a physical property.
Odour is a sensation caused by odourant molecules dissolved in the air. The widest range of odors consist of organic compounds, although some inorganic substances, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, are also odourants. The perception of an odor effect is a two step process. First, there is the physiological part; the sense of the stimulus by receptors in the nose. After that, the psychological part follows.
