Whale vomit is a rare substance that can be used to make perfume and is highly sought after by collectors.
There are many substances that have been used in the past to make perfume, but none of them are as rare or expensive as ambergris. Ambergris is a type of excrement produced by sperm whales, which has a very pungent odor. It was often used in the past to mask the smell of spoiled meat in areas where food storage was limited. In addition to its use as an odor remover, ambergris has also been used in some cultures for medicinal purposes. However, it’s most valuable quality is its ability to be made into perfume.
The production of ambergris is unique and very difficult for collectors. The substance only comes from sperm whales and must be removed from their intestines before they can expel it through their digestive system. The process begins when the whale eats large amounts of squid or fish that contain certain enzymes that cause the ambergris to form within their intestines. As the substance forms, it mixes with other bodily fluids until it’s expelled from the whale’s body.
