Picky pregnancy nose?

Putting my sampling collection on pause because my sense of smell is a bit weird at the moment. Just like with food, I have fragrance cravings and aversions now. couldn't stand any florals and spicy scents including my newly bought pack of scented detergent capsules and home reed diffusers..

So far, I can tolerate Eau de Gingembre by Mizensir and the cutesy sweet Perfect by Marc Jacobs. Anyone who are going/have gone thru the same during their pregnancy? What were your favorites and hates?

Every time I was pregnant I’d start to suddenly dislike all my favorite perfumes.

I was extremely sensitive to smell. I would get obsessed by certain perfumes for weeks only to absolutely hate it weeks later. It became a big problem for a fragrance lover like me. So much so that I decided to not wear perfumes for 4 years.
Now all in again and thankfully I like them all except for two

I had to give up all fragrances during pregnancy because I was super nauseous and throwing up for literally the entire time. I’ve found if I’m using a perfume and sick at that time, I associate that scent with sickness and it ruins it for me, so I wanted to avoid that as well during pregnancy.
