 LET’S READ
The stench of it may reek and send you to bushes for a thorough
release of your lunch but it is a distinct smell that comes from a particular
fruit called durian. The king of fruit is known for its prickly exterior and
scrumptious insides though most beg to differ on the latter due to its
pungent smell.
But not everyone feels the need to hold their noses around it and

certainly not eighteen year old Muayyad Khairulmain who said the king of
the fruits is delectable. And forget the constant complaints about its smell
because I honestly wouldn’t mind wearing durian perfume.
Imagine walking in a sea of people! It’d be funny to watch them
SLIDESMANIA

part before me.

 Another distinct Malaysian scent is belacan or shrimp paste. You
know when somebody in the neigbourhood is cooking kangkong
belacan for the night because everyone can smell it. I love the smell but
the belacan aroma packaged in a bottle? Now that would be a nose full.
Julian Khoo, 16.
When asked if local herbs ground together would make a good
SLIDESMANIA.C

perfume, quite a number had positive things to say. “ I’d like a mix
between lemon grass and pandan leaves.’ Said Goh Qi En,16. ‘ instead
of all the million chemicals they usually mix into bottles, I could smell
SLIDESMANIA

natural and earthy with a single spray!” he added.

 “ I am not entirely sure if I’d smell masculine enough but bottle up
lemon grass , star anise and ginger and it would smell fantastic!’
commented 16-year-old Nicholas Yap.
Malaysians scents are a far cry from the contents in fancy bottles
sitting on shelves in perfume stores but it sure would be a nostril-
stimulating sniff. If you thought some of these scents go way too far
over the brink of eccentricity, wait till you get a whiff of this.

“Give me asam laksa perfume any day and I’d have my friends
licking their lips in hunger. Besides I’d like to smell like a local favourite.
Perhaps that might just turn me into local favourites, if you
SLIDESMANIA

get what I mean. “ said a food lover, Linda.

 There are many other common yet unconventional smell that people
take to. The gas station for instance, is a place where many deep inhales
are taken. Some people do very much enjoy the smell of gasoline.
“ It is a strong and highly addictive smell of which I really like,” said
Lau Jin Jun.
Many even like the smell of a new car. “ You may spot me sniffing the
insides of a car if it’s new.” Said 17 year -old Tan Lih Wern jokingly.

Quite a number even like the sharp smell of a marker pen! Jeremy
Kuan insists that it’s a scent that isn’t too weird.
