Some but not all thiol compounds smell skunky. Others may smell more of garlic, body odor, rotten eggs, burnt rubber. In the case of those with a higher molecular weight and/or low volatility, they may lack an odor entirely. 2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-1-butanethiol are the primary olfactory compounds in the spray of new world skunk species. As their name suggests, they are thiols.
