http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian#Flavour_and_odour
Other comparisons have been made with the civet, sewage, stale vomit,Rush Limbaugh, skunk spray and used surgical swabs.[30] The wide range of descriptions for the odour of durian may have a great deal to do with the variability of durian odour itself. Durians from different species or clones can have significantly different aromas; for example, red durian (D. dulcis) has a deep caramel flavour with a turpentine odour while red-fleshed durian (D. graveolens) emits a fragrance of roasted almonds.[31] Among the varieties of D. zibethinus, Thai varieties are sweeter in flavour and less odorous than Malay ones.[4] The degree of ripeness has an effect on the flavour as well.[4] Three scientific analyses of the composition of durian aroma from 1972,[32] 1980, and 1995 each found a mix of volatile compounds including esters, ketones, and different sulphur compounds, with no agreement on which may be primarily responsible for the distinctive odour.[4]
