For hundreds of years people have been describing it as smelling like various unpleasant things, like rotten onions, rotten meat, pig feces, socks, etc. In some countries where the fruit grows you aren't allowed to eat it in public in enclosed spaces, such as public transportation.

Its obviously got a controversial fragrance that many people find unpleasant. Its hardly a modern day media conspiracy.
