Durian's distinctive odor primarily comes from its unique combination of sulfur-containing compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide and various volatile organic compounds. These compounds are released when the fruit is ripe, leading to its strong and often off-putting smell, which some describe as a mix of rotten onions and turpentine. The aroma can be polarizing, with many people either loving or hating it. Additionally, the fruit's high fat content can contribute to its complex scent profile.
