After kiddish Friday night during the first course I suddenly smelled this insane whiff of florals / delicious sweet perfume for around a minute. I put on perfume hrs before and it was a totally diff smell and it was gone because the scent doesn’t last more then a hr …

I kept on asking everyone what’s the sweet smell don’t you smell anything?! No one else wore perfume.none else knew what I was talking about. I kept on smelling the grape juice , wine liquor etc and it wasn’t the smell.

I freaked out. Has that ever happened to anyone?!

This will sound crazy, did someone accidentally kill an ant?

Did you light scented candles/tea lights ?

So in the physical sense, it could possibly be hormones or a number of other things. But honestly, it sounds like your neshama did tap into the Gan Eden of Shabbos, even if only briefly.

None was wearing perfume, no diffuser and no scented candles.

Perhaps you had an olfactory hallucination. I get them sometimes but in my case it is an unpleasant smell, but they can also be pleasant. There can be many causes, usually innocuous.

Sometimes a fart has a sweet smell and nobody would have owned up to it.

Especially after drinking grape juice.

I've had that. I think it's from flora outside that come into bloom. you can't always locate it but it's there. that's what I always assume.
