Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, lemon water, smell of perfume.
Solution
Chair, air, smell, almonds, lemon water and smell of perfume.
Notes
Note: The sense of smell is not matter. However, the smell or odour of a substance is classified as matter. The smell of any substance (say, perfume) can be classified as matter. This is because, perfume is in liquid state inside the bottle. It comes out in the form of tiny droplets. These droplets of perfume are matter and spread out in the atmosphere to create a sense of smell. This smell can be detected by our olfactory system.
