Do you think people with durian fragrance have developed genes

I think the fragrance of durian is related to genetic differences, but not solely determined by the degree of genetic development. The sense of smell is influenced by multiple factors such as genes, cultural background, and individual experience. The unique odor of durian is mainly derived from sulfur-containing compounds, which are recognized as sweet in some people's olfactory system, while in others they are perceived as pungent. The variation of OR7D4 gene can affect the sensitivity of the human body to the odor of androstenediones, and this genetic difference may explain some people's preference for durian odor. People carrying specific genetic variants are more likely to accept the rich aroma of durian and even experience a sense of pleasure. Long term exposure to dietary culture can also change olfactory preferences, as evidenced by the widespread acceptance of durian scent among residents in Southeast Asia. Repeated exposure to a certain odor may alter the way the brain's olfactory bulb decodes odors, gradually accepting previously rejected odors. The changes in olfactory sensitivity caused by hormonal changes in pregnant women may also temporarily affect their perception of durian odor.

The mechanism of olfactory preference formation is complex, and it is recommended to gradually cultivate the acceptance of specific odors through contact cultivation. You can try mixing durian with other fruits for daily consumption, or choose durian with different maturity levels to experience the changes in odor levels. If you experience nausea or other discomfort, you should stop consuming it. People with allergies should try with caution. Maintaining dietary diversity can help expand the range of taste acceptance, but there is no need to force acceptance of specific odors.
