A lot depends how the guy cleaned it.

If he let the skull soak in water until the flesh basically rotted off, they smell the worst but even skulls cleaned by simmering or beetles will initially have a smell about them, but it tends to clear after a week or so..

Thats assuming he has cleaned it properly. If he has only left trace amounts say in the nasal cavities, they will dry out, but if he has left more than that, the smell will linger much longer..
