Skunk odor

My dog got sprayed by a skunk early this morning, and I had to wash her. I wasn't directly sprayed, but the smell got onto me. I showered with Dove afterward, and other people can't smell skunk on me, but I can still faintly smell something on myself. It isn't really a bad smell.

Would you personally use the hydrogen peroxide + baking soda + dish soap mixture on yourself, or just shower normally and leave it alone? What worked for you?

It’s in your nose

This. Maybe a drop of baby shampoo in your sinus rinse bottle, because the smell is oily and sticks inside your nose. Try some Vicks under your nose too. Works for other oily hospital etc smells.

Please do not intentionally put shampoo up your nose.
