The good part is, they don't stink as bad as a Skunk, close but not as bad. And one gets somewhat used to it after a while. Just don't expect too many offers from beautiful women wanting to have you child while you smell like a Weasel.

It is not CHANEL N°5


You just never put those little stink sacs close enough to your nose.

I find weasel scent a little more potent on the nose than a skunk close up. A person does get used to the scent and I sort of like the smell now. Just not a full nostril's worth. I'm pretty sure tomato juice doesn't work on weasel gland musk either. I have worn the aroma for a few days before.

I just skinned and boarded that weasel and strangely enough I kind of liked the smell too. Not at first wiff but after a minute or two once you get used to it.

I think that we both need professional help Red.
