Is it just me, or does peri make things smell of garlic?

Peri seems to be making me hallucinate garlic smells - either that or random things stink of garlic. After making tea at work, touching a balloon, unzipping my knitting bag. I don’t even eat much garlic because of reflux, and I don’t typically cook (DH does it), so it’s not like I’m chopping garlic and it’s lingering. WTH is going on?! Driving me nuts.

I’ve had some weird sense of smell things in peri. For months I could smell baked beans everywhere. 🤔 It’s stopped now so hopefully your phantom garlic smell will go.
