I sometimes wonder if there's a genetic component affecting how people smell and taste durian, just like with cilantro. To me it's just a little stinky, like someone fried onions a couple hours ago and the smell is mostly faded, but the flavor is pure sweet creaminess. As an example, once made a cup of durian coffee in a different room on a different floor entirely and someone stormed out of the building because of the odor. I didn't mention that I made it before that happened, so it wasn't just an exaggerated response. Nobody else could smell it. Not even I could smell anything beyond just plain old coffee.
