Unique vanilla ice-cream like taste. It's delicious but smells like rotten banana's that have been in someone who has never showered's underwear for 40 years.

Never tried or smelled pure durian, but I've tried a form of it that came in a wrapper shaped like a Hershy's bar. It was white and tasted almost like chocolate with a unique after taste I can't recall.

Smells bad but it taste Amazing. Better to eat it a little frozen not to mushy.

I actually quite like it, but I don't think many people who haven't grown up with it will like it.

Yummmmmy

it's okay. smell isn't bad and it tastes good, can't have too much tho

I remember the first time I saw a durian. I hated it. I hated the smell and how it tasted but after eating it several times, I've grown to like it. So now, like 7 years later, I would eat durian everyday if I could. I love the smell and the taste.

I grew up having durian and I think it smells good I mean I wouldn't go out of my way to have a piece of durian like some of my family members, but I generally think it tastes good.

I remember when I had a layover in Shanghai, this one lady took out a tiny ziplock of durian and started eating it. I immediately noticed and looked at her, and smiled haha, she smiled back - probably acknowledging the unique smell of the tasty fruit. I mean I heard it's definitely banned from some airports due to the smell...

@natalie: Doesn't smell that bad...I'd describe it as a strange scent of sweetness, but as for the taste, it isn't that delicious. I like mangos more.

smells like trash can but tastes like heaven

I like it.c:

creamy, slightly sweet garlic. it sucks nuts

it smells and tastes like death

I wonder if it's because they don't brush, mouthwash, and shower in sterile water daily. I don't and it smells so bad

You either like it or you hate it. There is really no in between for durian.

My suggestion, try it out.
