Weird taste

I've recently had Covid but I'm now a couple of weeks on and on the last couple of days my coffee has smelt and tasted of perfume. I've changed mugs and coffee but it still tastes funny. It's the only thing that is affected.

Does anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Sounds like classic Covid loss or changes to sense of taste and smell.

I had Covid last August. In September, I realised coffee, garlic and onion tasted awful. They still taste awful and I have to check packets of everything as so much has powdered garlic or onion in. I believe the condition is called Parosmia. Other things taste funky too and I can't identify what ingredient it might be (apple juice, milkshake etc).
I'm really hoping it returns to normal at some point :(
