Brief Answer:
Posterior part of the tongue

Hello
Hello again, pleased to hear from you again
Strong perfume odour might have traveled through your nose and has stimulated your olfactory nerves ( nerves that sense smell) as well as posterior part of your tongue, that is why you are able to taste. It is common and not pathological.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
