Goo..! Rotting flies! I know exactly what you mean.

Pull too hard on the zip, the whole thing comes away in your hand and you get a gaping hole letting in all the draught. Avoid rotting flies at all costs!

Skatole's not so obvious really. It's a degradation product of tryptophan (a muscle protein). Skatole gives sh-- it's disagreeable odour.

And don't forget cadaverine (pentamethylene-1,5-diamine).

Interestingly, the world's most expensive perfumes are blends of botanical oils with 'base' notes which 'anchor' the fragrance. Strangely, these bases are the stinkiest of things, not unlike those mentioned.
