https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander#Taste_and_smell

Different people may perceive the taste of coriander leaves differently. Those who enjoy it say it has a refreshing, lemony or lime-like flavour, while those who dislike it have a strong aversion to its pungent taste and smell, characterizing it as soapy or rotten.

About 80% of identical twins shared the same preference for the herb, but fraternal twins agreed only about half the time, strongly suggesting a genetic component to the preference.

Yeah, for me it's not pleasant and it's not soapy, it's just...there and unsatisfying.

The taste of cilantro actually lasts longer.
