The worry is that apparently those who eat them exude the stench of the fruit through their skin / sweat for days afterwards. Durian smells like rotting drains. And this is a hot country, and I do sports. Oh dear.
However, talking to some locals recently I discovered that the South East Asian love for this fruit (including its pungent smell) is extremely strong. And by logic, smelling of Durian might actually make one a popular and desirable hottie! ^^ This is up there with the famous UK adage, that the way to make British men really attracted to you is to smell of their favourite thing: lager.
Having said this, I have yet to notice any 'L'air du Lager' or CK Durian on the market.
