This post brought to you by the acorn squash I just sliced. See also roasted red peppers and cilantro. I don’t have the soap thing, but it do be like a stink bug sometimes.
My wife totally has the soap thing, and I must be a carrier for that gene, because I can see where the soapy flavor is coming from, but it doesn’t bug me.
For the smell/taste thing, I have the opposite. I love the smell of roasting coffee… can’t stand coffee.
Seems to be certain times of the year here (US South). Sometimes we go months without a bunch that smells like them, and other times it’s every bunch for a month (and we almost always have a bunch in the fridge).

Ditto unsmoked tobacco, smells amazing, cannot tolerate smoking.
Agree completely on this. Pipe tobacco in particular always smells great (but can’t stand the smell of smoke).
It’s one of life’s little injustices that coffee never tastes as good as it smells.
