Does the knowledge of the smell have an effect on what you smell?
I don't know that much scientifically about that, but i believe yes. I have found that to be true in my life and also I once read an article about experiments with skunk musk. In small amounts or with a bit of a different scent mixed in with the musk, the people tested thought that it smelled good(they did not know it had any thing to do with skunk musk). However, when told that they were smelling skunk, most of them reported it as smelling very bad, even though not all of the scents actually had skunk musk in them, and some of the scents were the same as the ones that had been judged as good-smelling before. me too #yourock
What is the spray called that a skunk uses defend itself with?

Is there skunk oil in perfume?
Yes indeed. They use the musk from a skunk or a civet cat as a constituent that carries the scent of the perfume. The distilled water and types of oil that are in perfume will not hold the perfume's scent for very long at all, so they use the skunk/cat oil because the main compound in the musk (butyl mercaptan) holds a scent for a very long time. If you have ever been sprayed by a skunk, or know someone who has been sprayed by a skunk, you should understand that the smell lasts for several days. Perfumes usually do not last that long though, because the amount of musk is very little and very deluded. So, perfume might last a couple days as opposed to a weeks or so, but at least that means you're not wearing as much skunk piss as you originally thought. isn't that comforting?

What does as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party mean?
Unless it has had its musk gland removed, a skunk would not be very welcome at a lawn party because it would be frightened by human presence and might because of this spray to protect itself from perceived danger. This possibility would drive the guests away from the party due to the rancorous aroma a skunk can produce. That would not be the desired situation of either the guests or especially the host. Therefore this phrase is an analogy implying that whatever is "as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party" is very unwelcome.
