hi there! i think i am one of those who don't really appreciates the smell of durian... its maybe because i am not used to it and i grew up in a place where durian is not that popular...i came from Luzon...and durian is more popular in Mindanao right? and its too costly in our place... but even if i don't like its smell...i like durian flavored ice cream...and i try to eat its fresh fruit but i don't really like it that much...i just learn eating this coz my husband came from Mindanao...i think i like "marang" more than durian...

sometimes i like durian but often times, by now i don't. and i don't even know why. because before i like eating its fruit and the smell. but now, its quite different. i can't bear the smell and the fruit, i don't eat at all. but i like those durian candies and others delicacies made from that certain fruit. thanks friend jhelai

First time to smell it , I dont like it. Now that my partner loves to eat it . I have learned to practice to love it and eat it a little until I learn and love to eat this fruit. If you will try to taste it little by little the you will learn top eat it. Its so full of vitamins, its good for pregnant women and so with men for endurance.

Hi xannebull, I love durian for its taste and smell. I can eat 2-3 durian at once. It will feel hot after eating it but I can't resist it. But it is expensive here except during its season and you can get a cheaper one in Perak or Pahang (Malaysia). Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

Oh yes, I really like durian. I only need to restrict eating durian, cholesterol content in the body does not become high. Some tips from me to remove the smell: 1. After eating durians, wash your hands with water that you put in the durian skin. 2. To bring the durian in the car, give coffee powder in the bag durian. Goodbye smell durian.
