Generally wait until it wears off, never been musked by a cali so don't know how bad it is.

There's a fishing product called "metal soap" which I've seen recommended for musking smells. Never used it myself but it may be worth getting some for future events if the bleach, perfume, toothpaste and ketchup coctail does not work.
I often get a light musking from some of my North American Rats and know it can linger and is not too pleasant if you're going out somewhere.
