Im not sure if I ate durian candy

Question

My friend went to Vietnam and brought back some coconut candies. The strawberry and chocolate ones were great, as was the purple one I assumed was taro or maybe ube, but I had one that was wholly unlike anything else I've ever tasted and all I could think to like it to was what I imagined of durian. He claimed the shop sold durian flavor, but they were bright yellow (this was pale yellowish) and he didn't think he bought any.

It tasted kind of... Not quite onion-y? Like, maybe even similar to the scent of a dead rodent? But it wasn't repulsive tasting really, just... Idk, strange, organic and volatile sorta.

Does that sound like what a durian tastes like?
