Despite the smell/through the smell

I want to take a bite off a durian through the smell.


I think despite is correct, but I would like to use through. I am not sure the sentence above is grammatical. Is there an idiom or phrase that could make the preposition through work here?

I want to take a bite of off a durian despite the smell. I want to take a bite of off a durian though the smell is awful. Are you sure you don't mean 'though'?
