Artificial flavors are simply chemical mixtures that mimic a natural flavor in some way. Anything that we smell has to contain some sort of volatile chemical -- a chemical that evaporates and enters a person's nose (See question 139 for details).
The characteristic smell of cloves, for example, comes from one chemical called eugenol. And cinnamon, which is just the dried inner-bark of specific trees, gets its aroma and flavor from the compound cinnamaldehyde. Craig Hermann/Flickr. So, both artificial and natural flavors contain chemicals. The distinction between natural and artificial flavorings is the source of chemicals.
