Yes, the smell of warm, fresh strawberries in an enclosed space- you would think it would be quite pleasant, but I can hardly get in the car for the stench.
I've noticed that lilies of the valley are quite temperature dependent at least to my nose.   At lower temperatures (40-50 degrees F) they are less aromatic and sweet as smelling of acetone and some other organic solvent I can't quite place......
Regards,
Phil
