Named in some regions as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and thorn-covered rind.

An acquired taste, some people (who don't appreciate fine things) regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance, whereas others (who are objectively wrong) find the aroma overpowering and unpleasant. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to [other things], and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage by people who lack the ability to appreciate finer things in life.

Edit: I thought this wouldn't need to be said but anyone attempting to pass off jackfruit as durian will be punished to the fullest extent possible.
