A fruit to try (or smell?)

"One day...there was a durian on the altar...I was trying to recite the Lotus Sutra, using a wooden drum and a large bowl-shaped bell for accompaniment, but I could not concentrate at all. I finally carried the bell to the altar and turned it upside down to imprison the durian, so I could chant the sutra. After I finished, I bowed to the Buddha and liberated the durian." Page 4 Teachings On Love by Thich Naht Hanh. Well, after reading that, naturally I felt very curious when I saw this fruit at the store. I bent forward to smell it...it was not unpleasant nor particularly strong-seeming to me. But maybe it is a different story when it is cut open? Durians at the Durian.
