“What’s the feeling of being sprayed by a skunk?”

Don't get me wrong about this concern. As an Asian, I am so puzzled what's the smell of skunk's spray. I had seen in films that people run after their life as seeing this animal. I tried to check the description of the pungent smell. However, I cannot picture it out in my mind. “Does it smells like dog’s poops?” “What do you think it smells like?” Image Credit: pixabay.com

I have no idea, we do not have skunks here and I am not interested in experiencing this.

@LadyDuck I think it is, my friend. I had read some of the descriptions. It is totally an unpleasant smell.

It can be smelled hundreds of feet away thats how strong the smell is and close by can make your eyes water.

@Shavkat That would be the effect up close if sprayed but with onions they don’t still smell putrid for days from hundreds of feet away. It’s really something not easily able to describe but it just awful.

@shaggin I think I can take a risk of experiencing it for one time. Then, there will be no next time.

It sounds like slicing onions into shred effect and it makes the eyes water. That's the reason why people run away from them.

It's hard to describe what skunk smell is like but once you do smell it it's not something you'll ever forget. It's very nasty and pungent

I also agree with you. If we had experienced it for the first time. it will make us forget experiencing it for the first time.

It is almost impossible to describe a smell isn't it? I wonder what it smells like too. It must be pretty bad.

I agree. I have the same feeling what makes it an undesirable animal. I guess God had created different uniqueness in this world.

It sounds nasty smell. I think I can't bear the said smell and it will be an embarrassing moment with other if people had smelled the foul odor.

I think it is so troublesome to have the stinky smell from them. I guess I don't want to meet them.

It has its own strong pungent smell. I had skunks living under my front porch. It smells like I own this house now. If I went out I whistled so that I wouldn't scare it and end up being a rejected stinky flower.

I've listened to Andrew Zimmern, a chef who travels the world and eats "exotic-to-Americans" foods in a series called Bizarre Foods, describe the Asian fruit durian as smelling like really bad onions stomped on by smelly feet. That's sort of what a skunk's spray smells like.

I think it is a bad smell. I don't fancy of durian fruit. Why? I can't stand the smell. Now, I have an idea and thank you for describing it.

Thank you for the information. I am checking it now. I think it is an awful smell and can create a bad day for a person who had smelled its odor.

In the past, I could smell it in the distance, but I just realized the odor isn't around anymore. I guess the populated area I live in forced them to leave. I don't know if I could explain the smell, it's just really bad.
