Solution

yes your teacher is right .because the smell is due to the particle. for example the smell of a perfume is due to the particle present in the gaseous form .this minute particle is also a matter. this cannot seen by our eye .but the feeling -smell is not a matter. but the cause of smell that is particle present in perfume is a matter

Smell of perfume is a matter as the constituent particles of perfume which causes smelling is diffused in the air. The particle nature of perfume makes smell of perfume a matter.
hope you understand.
