Durian
Durio zibethinus
The durian is a large Southeast Asian fruit with a spiky rind. Its creamy flesh, much loved in the region, gives off a powerful smell, both sweet and sulphurous, so strong that the fruit is banned on some public transport. It yields no oil: the perfumer recreates its effect.
What it brings
An exuberant fruity note, creamy and slightly animalic.
