Ya man, I'm using the UK "peng" name to distinguish it from the USA "skunk" description.
When I was a bit less informed, I thought that if it wasn't the "roadkill skunk" than it just wasn't skunk.
But now after smelling the difference and finding similarities in the way the smell permeates a room, I can say I have experienced the european skunk selection smell and found it skunky as well.
On the high note, the UK "peng" is a mix of slightly offensive "baby-poopy" over-ripe mango / over-ripe cantalope with a piney bottom end.
The USA "skunk" is a mix of dead animal "road kill" with piney bottom end.
Both seem to have ALOT of the terpene pinene, but the UK selection of the smell leanes alot more to the rotting fruity end of the spectrum, while the USA version leans to the more sharp skunk spray in overall smell.
But if you carry either on your person, or in your bag and unknowingly walk into a grocery store, you will seriously smell the "skunk" aroma emanating from you. And so will everyone else.
lol :smiley_joint:
So yah, in the future, both describe that skunk smell for me. But if I use peng it means the UK meaning, if I say skunk then I mean sharp animal smell.
* Here is an interesting fact - there are NO SKUNKS IN ENGLAND. They are indigenous to North America. So non-americans really don't know what true skunk smells like. I have had my dog chase a skunk once, he actually caught it. The dog came back whimpering with a quickness, its mouth was foaming uncontrollably, and it was scared to death, shaking and jumping all over me. The smell soaked into my jacket, shoes and jeans. I had to throw them all out. Yah, I know I could of done something, but it smelled like the skunk shat rotting onion death skunk shit on my clothes. We bathed the dog in tomatoe juice for a week. He was bumming HARD.
