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!

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.
