Vibrations of air molecules striking the ear drum,

Salts, acids, sugars on the tongue
Hot, cold, smooth, rough, hard, soft against the skin.

These are sensory experiences relying on the physical body.
But you can also experience those same sensations without involving those actual parts of the body at all. Example: when dreaming.
