How Does A Durian Smell?

Here are some of the ways that the smell of Durian has been described:

fermented onions
overripe cheese.
Rotting fish.
Unwashed socks.
A city dump on a hot summers day.
Historians report that Sir Stamford Raffles, who established Singapore as a British trading post in 1819, held his nose and ran in the other direction if he caught even a whiff of the dreaded fruit.
Another former British governor likened the stench to carrion in custard.

Biologists believe that the bad smell attacts jungle animals to eat the fruit, thus facilitating seed dispersal.
