Us taxidermists doing it for a living have been using this or a similar formula for years, descenting all mustelids, not just skunks. We do it regardless of whether they sprayed or not. Get a mount wet or in a humid place and youll know EXACTLY what I mean. Done correctly it wont fade the hair. Smoking them, well, thats hobbyst stuff, or perhaps some old tradition, but not applicable for modern day taxidermy. What youre actually trying to achieve is neutralizing the scent, not just masking it. Good luck to you.
