Narrator: But it's the durian's smell that really sets it apart from other fruits. Some people describe the odor as being like a mix of rotten onions, garlic, and sewage. Others say it smells like skunk spray or vomit. Whatever the comparison, there's no denying that durian has a very distinctive and unforgettable aroma.

Narrator: So why does durian smell so bad? The answer lies in the fruit's chemical composition. Durian contains a number of volatile sulfur compounds, which are responsible for its pungent odor. These compounds are also found in other foods, such as onions, garlic, and cheese. However, the concentration of these compounds is much higher in durian, which is why the fruit has such a strong smell.
