Funny too, as I don't mind the smell of skunk. It's a perfectly normal smell, and not worth getting excited over.

Of course, it does smell much different if you're the one who gets sprayed directly! That happened once. A skunk was caught in a live trap, and I wasn't paying attention. He got my forehead, but missed my eyes.

I spent an hour in the shower, and after that, the smell wasn't objectionable by anyone else. I still smelled it each time I showered for the next week. I think the oils had soaked into my skin, and volatilized each time I showered.
