That ghastly spray is the skunk's best defense and, boy, does it work! No creature, human, or beast, can stand being near a skunk with that odor. It comes from a fluid called musk which is produced and stored in a pair of glands under the animal's tail. A skunk can propel the spray about 10 feet!

the black and white-striped skunk turns around and raises its tail at you, it is taking on a deffensive position and you should flee immediately. The terible odour that skunks spray comes from their anal scent glands, which they use to ward of percieved dangerous animals,Skunks have four anal glands, two on each side of their anus that produce a mixture of chemicals containig sulfur. Skunks are able to spray up to fifteen feet away.

A skunk's smell naturally isn't produced by anything, as a skunk doesn't smell of anything whatsoever, however, anything it does attack will end up with the smell that is largely disgraced.
