It's seem to be the same as with cilantro a genetic trait that some people have and other don't

Dunno if that a good source as everything i found about that exept for thos page talked about the tiktok post and not science

Tldr : ( i did not read the article in full ) the smell is described as a moldy pina colada

I'd say it's more like a blend of vinegar and soap.

You never stop learning something about yourself and why others couldn't comprehend what I tasted there.

Reference for coriander (cilantro)

I have an (untested) hypothesis that people who get the “soapy” taste of cilantro also smell stinkbugs. When I squish a stinkbug it reeks of cilantro’s “soapy” taste. I remember reading somewhere that they’re the same type of chemicals.

Some as with truffles, and marihuana. I can't smell either.

You can't smell marijuana? What?

I've had people call it "strong" and even "overwhelming", while to me it smelled like some weak dead grass. People smoking it, I barely register, unless they mix it with tobacco. Even freshly cut, it just smelled like cut grass, nothing more. CBD oil smells like grass sap.
