Ever had a MHC reaction (their odor smelled real good) to someone?

It can get really severe for me so I was wondering if anyone else had to deal with it. if you're unfamiliar with it

For me I'm ultra sensitive to the way some people smell. I pick up their scent above everything else and the faintest remnant left from like, a handshake or something remains strong to the point of being distracting. Even after multiple hand washings. Just to test before washing a sheet I showed my girlfriend the sheet and all she could smell was deodorant. I, on the other hand could only smell the person which made me lightheaded so I had to lay down.

    I'm not sure if this is the same thing but I believe it's happened with a few of my exes. Where I knew their scent well enough to detect it on anything they wore or like on a bed or something and it brought back pleasant memories. This was though after having known them and been used to being around them for some time, usually several months.
    However I don't think I'm as sensitive to the way people smell as you've described in your original post. One washing takes the scent away for me.
