Yes, it is volatile enough to smell it, but the amount is very, very low.
Thanks to the (also) very low odour treshold (=high odour potency) you can smell it.
Camphor is a 1,4-bridged-isoprpyl 6C-cyclo methyl-alkan-2-one (C10H16O), one of the bicyclic monoterpenes like pineen (in natural terpentine) and borneol (in artificial lavender- and rosemary oil.

Can camphor and NaCl be saparated by sublimation?
Yes, because camphor is very volatile.
Is camphor crystalline or amorphous?
Camphor is a crystalline substance.
What do you call a substance that evaporates easily?
A substance that evaporates easily is called volatile. Volatile substances have low boiling points and readily transition from a liquid to a gas at normal temperatures.
What is the name of volatile substance used in flavourings?
Ethanol is a common volatile substance used in flavorings and food extracts.
What happened to camphor when exposed to air?
When exposed to air, camphor will slowly sublimate, meaning it will transition from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. This process is known as volatilization, and it causes the camphor to gradually evaporate and disperse into the surrounding environment.
