A musky odor typically refers to some animals like skunk and muffet, whose sexual glands at the base of their tail produce a rather persistant odor used to mark their territory. Though usually considered alone as incomodating, the musky odor is often added in trace quantities to masculine perfumes, following a general principle that a high quality perfume should not contain only good-smelling fragrances, but also tidbits of so-called death or fecal odors to sustain the contrast. Musk is the name originally given to a perfume obtained from the strong-smelling substance, secreted in a gland by musk deer, and hence applied to other animals, and also to plants, possessing a similar odor. The best example of something that smells musky would be a perfume that contains musk - Go to your local perfume store and ask for a sample of musk.
