Entirely possible. Think of cilantro that tastes and smells like soap for some people. Contrary to popular belief, we do not all perceive the world in the same ways.
"This may be traced to the OR6A2 gene, an olfactory receptor able to bind many of the aldehydes implicated in the herb's very particular smell. Perhaps those with a specific variation in the gene are particularly sensitive to its soapiness."
