Short-Acting Skank

I've grown into Kouros, Eau D'Hermes, Z-14 and others that have some funk about them, but sometimes I don't want that sexy skank to last too long, or at least clean up some so you can be presentable later on in the day after some...*ahem*...unclean activity.

Can anyone think of some dirty/sexy/skanky/funky/animalic/nasty frags that clean up as they go, or at least don't last longer than a few hours?

If you want dirty, skanky, funky you should check out Musc Kublai khan. I'm sure that's what the majority here will recommend.

Bvlgari Black seems that way to me.

Yes but to me, MKK is exactly what he is talking about here. The skank goes away and what's left is ultimately "presentable",(even though I think all of MKK is presentable!) :-)

I don't even know if I believe what I'm about to say...

When I first discovered Amber Cannelle, I found it to be extremely clean-smelling, very "barbershop".

Then Nearfantastica mentioned that it had a whorish, skanky quality to it. If you go overboard with it, then yes, I agree!

So in that regard, if you're looking for a skanky burst that cleans up as it dries, give AC a try!

Cumming doesn't last long, as ungrateful as that may sound. Eau d'Hermes is fairly short-lived, as well.
But another non-skank-related suggestion is just to change t-shirts. Spray whatever skanky thing you like on your chest only. Even very long lived frags have minimal skin sillage left after six hours or so, and the rest of what you smell is mostly what's left on clothing. De-skank and re-skank in the flavor of your choice.
