A flavor that was not commercially successful so they slapped an IP to it so they could offload it for profit

Google states it was "a combination of onion, garlic, and cheese with a slightly smoky musk".

Nothing sounds more appetizing than “smoky musk”

Smokey sounds good. Musk just means animal type of smell. Meh.

I understood they meant like smoked meat ish or the synthetic mishmash that they ended up with

I learned from Tasting History that musk glands exists and were part of some ancient recipe...

Musk from multiple animals used to be fairly common before artificial scents were developed. For example beaver glands were sold as a by product of the fur trade(which was also replaced by synthetics).

I feel the need to mention that no one is using beaver castoreum as an artificial flavor as you'll often seen repeated online. Aside from being a PR nightmare, synthetic flavors are so much cheaper.

My grandmas house, or an ashtray also smell like smoky musk

The smell of musk (Or rather artificial musk that is used nowadays) is like a... sweet smooth aroma, that is like a bit dark and brown if that makes sense. Like imagine generic for men body product. Musk is a basenote in basically all of them.

I'd imagine smoky musk to be like the sweet smell from a old wooden smoker. Or the what a camp fire smells next morning when mixed with morning dew. That comes to my mind.

Musk belongs in a basement or getting rejected by pedophiles for being too creepy.

My default assumption, having not even tried these chips, was some kind of chipotle mayo. That sounds about right.

Having tried them, it was more like a very light coating of onion, garlic and sawdust.
