The magic is a tropical tasting fruit! I have a tree and it's tough to actually get one of the fruits when they are ripe. This year I got lucky with a few that feel into my fenced garden section and I got them before the critters.
There's a hint of rottenness to the scent -- even vomit to some. Maybe like Durian.
I think Durian smells more like natural gas than vomit, but I know what you mean about the vomit smell. Especially when you have a huge harvest and the fragrance is overwhelming
