Many Asians are too. My wife can't stand the smell, as with me.
My brother in law, who is Armenian, likes a Durian shake. Yags!!!!


I like durian too....
When I first seen ,smelled and tasted ,it stinks....
But after second,third, fourth sensory experience I learned to
appreciate its exotic taste...
Looking at from the point of chemistry
What is responsible for that smell is the two smelly compounds indole
and skatole that smells like fecal matter and is really present in
animal waste products including human excreta.

But this substances when in diluted quantities have a floral
characteristics and becomes pleasant and sweet in greater dilutions.
That is why this two substances are used in food flavor
preparations....

If it's supposed to have a floral scent than why does it smell
like shit to me? Actually, it smelled like pepto bismo, but
that's still kind of shitty.


No fair! I wish my shit smelled like Durian. Oh well...
