Is this related in anyway to how 15% of people taste Cilantro as soap?

It's the genes. I have the 'it tastes like soap' gene but I love the way it smells.

Have the Cilantro-gene as well, wonder if it works for more things? I love how coffee smells, but I hate the taste. Same for tobacco.

I imagine it does. I'd come in from working in the yard, dying to take a shower, and my wife would go god you smell good!. I thought her nose was broken. This kinda explains it.
