People smell Durians in different ways. To some they smell awful, to
others amazingly wonderful, and to others, they are just pungent,
neither good nor bad.
I wonder if that's like the Cilantro thing - some love it (me) and others find it smells/tastes like soap. Apparently this all tracks to a single gene (and maybe a particular expression of it). That's why we differ. Maybe the Durian response is similar.

Avocado is like that for me.
Everyone else (seven) in the family liked it except me.
I rather eat soap!
