Have you also gotten phantosmia with smoke/cigarette smell? The initial reports that Covid was a respiratory disease turns out to be insufficient to describe what goes on. The virus gets into your brain and scrambles it up a bit, with varying severity. (Thankfully most people don't get it so bad.) Part of that damage occurs to the part of your brain that interprets smells - hence the phantosmia. Others have had luck retraining their brain using a collection of smells in jars.
